One of the coolest things about the shows in Texas is celebrity spotting.
I didn't get a pic of Mary Emmerling or Eddie Ross and Jaithan and there was a rumor that Johnny Depp was at Marburger...
But I did get a pic with Rachel Ashwell at Leftover's where she was doing a book signing...
And so I still don't feel as though my head is above water yet after being away for nearly two weeks, but I didn't want to make you wait any longer for pics from the show. My show ended up being okay, not my worst but nowhere near my best. Not many decorators or designers, no heavy hitter buyers and a tough market for larger pieces. But I am grateful for what I sold, and at a show like Marburger I sometimes feel like it's a miracle that I sell at all. Stiff competition for sure.
Hope you enjoy the pics of my booth. The centerpiece was much better in person than the pic. I hung an old iron swing frame from the peak of the tent with a pretty chandy to add some sparkle. Below was a collection of garden urns in iron and concrete filled with ferns. The backdrop was three old screen doors hinged together and draped with a lace curtain and an old frame.
We are loaded and ready to go...
except for the ten million last minute things like going to the bank, the store, getting my checkout stuff together, calling Chase so they don't shut off the debit card as we cross state lines, over~packing by a mile, finding a white shirt for Mr. Pea, etc. etc...
I have my ever~present list so it will all get done and early Wednesday we will head the truck and trailer toward
TEXAS!
MARBURGER HERE WE COME!
This will be my final post til I return with tons of pics and great stories.
Stay tuned.
If you will be at the shows I want to remind you about this fabulous blogger experience...
My friend Teresa Cano ( I call her sweet T) is hosting the ever fabulous blogger party on Sunday the 27th at 6pm at ZAPP HALL in Warrenton. You never know who you will bump into at this shindig so stop by if you are in the neighborhood. I'll be there for sure!

It's crunch time here. We are waist deep in the final projects needing completion...

Really bad timing to get a flu bug.
