ROUND TOP ANTIQUES FAIR THRU APRIL 3rd !!!

That's right!!! ANTIQUES FAIR THRU APRIL 3rd!!! People are already set up and selling! Our county seat in Fayette County had the "best retail sales in their history" the last quarter....that means this year should be a good one!! So come see us....we are so overstocked with trying to get the Spring items to fit in the shop that we decided to have a SALE on FALL and CHRISTMAS the rest of MARCH and thru APRIL. We carry ALL SEASONS ALL YEAR.....and if you are looking for something you missed last Christmas it is probably here. The SPRING FLOWERS Are beautiful.....well enough said, I have to get to work....WE ARE OPEN ALL WEEK FOR TWO WEEKS!!! BLESSINGS!!!

ADD A LITTLE SPARKLE....

Click to see the better colors....these look dull... I just noticed the piece of wood showing (hanging on a wooden tree hook on the door) right under the paper with the scripture....well, it is one of the Castanettes that I played when 10 years old living in Spain!! I leave it there and demonstate my talent on occasion! Ha! I've never been into doing arrangements, especially out of silk or artificial flowers. My yard is usually full of flowers, leaves and good smelling dirt in the vegetable garden and have never had the need for the artificial. So when one of the young women at church gave me a dull garrish brite orange and brown plastic wreath to "try and fix up"...as she said.... for the small entry door .... I said ....uh ....ok ..... Well, I was stuck with no supplies and a long way from a store. So I picked crepe myrtle dried blooms (FORGOT TO MENTION ...I sprayed them with a red-ish maroon automotive PRIMER color I found in the garage!! the only color that would work....and I'll use that color again!!) Then added gold and red glitter to them adding them to the wreath.....and then I added pink transparent paint over the really brite orange little pumpkins to soften them then added glitter there too. She said to add a scripture somewhere....so I printed part of a painting with the right colors and glued it in place ....added the soft polka dot ribbon...it was all I had....but I think it turned out A-OK! The scripture is in Spanish for our church and it says, "The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to Him in song." Psalm 28:7 The last photo is an aerial taken by my husband of just the town of Warrenton (population less than 50) before all the crowds....during the Antiques Shows in our county and Round Top.....and this is just one little town! We are rested and enjoying our fall weather!!! Blessings to you all for a blessed Fall of Thanksgiving!!!

I'M READY FOR A VACATION!!!

Sorry guys.....I have been so busy with work and company for this antique weeks that I have had NO TIME to post and no time to take pictures of new art or the 21 newly framed pictures of my art I hung in the gallery day before yesterday.....yes, my feet STILL hurt, but I'm on medication for two weeks to help me through. I have the most wonderful women stay in my house, a new group of two, Linda and Perry, sent by Debbie of "Toodle Lou" baby clothes.....are like my new best friends!! So creative and fun.....we went to Fayetteville to eat at Joe's...YUM!......and shop late on the square....that was fun!! The new tennis shoes and medication gave me relief! I wish I had something new to show in photos, but no time.....so here is one of my grand daughters....in the tub last summer....cool....and right where I wish I was!! And a piece of art I didn't get finished! And big sister pushing little sister in the buggy that belonged to my daughter ...their Mother! Love that picture....wish someone would push me around to shop! Blessings to you all.....and again, sorry for no blogging....one person can just do so much!! But I am blessed....so no complaints......and THANKFUL for the people that the Lord puts in my paths!!
