Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! We went to New Mexico to be with some of our grandkids on Christmas Eve and morning. It was a fun time. We even got to move (by horseback and pick-up truck about 200 head of yearlings that were sold). It was fun seeing my older grandkids in action. They definitely know what they are doing! Mayron got to spend part of the day with her grandkids, too. I think her and her husband provided the fryed turkey. We still have another Christmas event planned this coming week with family. It’s scheduled when everyone can get together. Busy time!

Am finally posting these pics of two friends’ booths at the Tower show. I know I’m slow, but these two have great merchandise and you can visit them elsewhere (I will include their locations later) if you missed the show.

These 1st pics are from Homepieces in McKinney. It’s our friend Vickie. We posted some pics of her shop a while back. As usual, she had a great display and goodies. Her shop address is Homepieces, 203-A E. Virginia, McKinney, Tx. The store # is 972 542-6191. You need to visit her!

Now these next pics are from one of our  “OLD” friends in this business. And I’m not referring to your age Christine. We’ve had alot of fun with Christine over the yrs and have been in several shows together. Christine really knows her merchandise. She not only picks cool stuff, she actually knows something about it! So, you need to go check her out. She is in Found at 1225 N. Industrial Blvd. in the Design District in Dallas, Tx. Their phone # is 214 741-5533. You’ll be glad you did.

I got an e-mail from our friend, Val. She had just finished decorating her living room and wanted to send pictures of how it turned out. But, also, she wanted us to see all the pieces she has gotten from us over the yrs. that are in the room. Val is certainly a gifted decorator and has done an absolutely beautiful job in her home. We met her yrs ago at Canton when she came in shopping with friends. She has followed us to Zapp field and our “Possibilities” show during Warrenton/Round Top. She has, also, been coming to our home shows almost since the beginning. She’s been a great customer, but more than that has turned into a great friend. We LOVE this business!! Thanks, Val.

And we are naturally talking about Judy of J Hill Designs. Mayron and I went to her show Dec. 4th. We have always enjoyed our trip to Kilgore to visit Judy. She does such a fabulous job and this time was no different. Also, with it being Christmas too, it was over the top. Melonie and Brian of Seedbox Antiques were there, also. They did a wonderful display out in Judy’s potting shed. I know other pics have showed up on some blogs, but we will post the ones we took. Hope you enjoy them.

I have a few more I will put up in the next couple days.

Also, I believe it will be easier to comment now. We changed the set up, so it shouldn’t be so confusing. Give it a whirl and let us know. We apologize to all who’ve tried and had various difficulties. Thanks for letting us know, tho, as it helped us realize there were problems.

We are still adding inventory under Check It Out, so hope you do just that.

These are a great pair of old wooden panels that have been painted white somewhere along the way. They look great on the wall, but could, also, be made into a folding screen. The price for each panel is $125.00.
