the real me.

I am now writing, on this blog thing, I have forced or shamed into having a blog. I am being made to enter the computer world, but it is going to be kicking and screaming. I type just like I talk; no breaks, comma or any thing that resembles grammar. And my thoughts racing just like the words will be. I will be posting mostly pictures and little written word. I have been trying to hire Cher aka The Texas Woman, she is author, of a real book and it is about Texas, it has real chapters and everything, just no pictures.

Almost a year ago a friend of mine named Patti, from Sulphur Springs told me about this computer site called something like antiques from the garden, I nodded and said great! Knowing full well that was not ever going to go there. I would not even talk on the CB radio when they came out, that would be pre cell phone. Last spring at Warrenton a pair of shoppers said”We saw your booth on Theresa Cano’s blog!!” I nodded and thought to my self, they must be nuts or I really did a good job copying somebody’s Ideas, from some where, but then the next day two southern belles (Lulu and Lauri from Chippy’s ) appeared in my booth clutching a picture of MY BOOTH!! And they told me of Theresa. I said I had no idea when she took the pictures. Until she showed up in my booth, and introduced herself. I now think of all the times I did not go to Garden Antqs blog.
I now have become a fan of hers on line and in person, she truly is a gifted designer and reporter for all that is happening in and around the Texas antique world.

A warning to all you non Texans, The market in Texas is different than any other place I have ever sold, the unusual is the usual, and believe me Texas has it going on!!

Here are a few pictures from my collections both past and present
