East Texas Road Trip~

off to Judy Hill’s yard and house sale with 5 other vendors, Nancy
and I headed out for the twice yearly sale! I used to have a booth
right next to Judy in Canton when we manufactured Sir Alec
childrens clothes, so after reading about her home on so many blogs,
i put her down on my calender months ago to check out!

arriving we came upon Garden Antique Vintage by Theresa

Theresa also has a spot at the antique mall in McKinney!

and then here starts, Willow Nest Farm from Burton, Tx

Linda and Ludmil got the one airconditioned cottage!

Linda making a sale…

you may remember i traveled to Burton a few months ago to check out their compound which is for sale!

Ludmil makes beautiful things for the garden out of iron, arbors and lots of other interesting items! Ludmil made a lot of the iron work for the fabulous new shop in McKinney, called Patina Green!

Inside Judy’s home starts here! so much talent and creativity!

I believe just about everything in the house is for sale! think Judy has a jewel of a husband!

Judy’s lunch buffet in the boat on the back porch! how cute!

Tamara Make up Artist – I got to have the very first photo shoot in this great new space, great light for photographers to rent for shoots as well as film productions to stage in whatever way they like!

Oil Spill… what oil spill?

It’s sad how the media looks for the negative when it isn’t there
and instead of promoting something, all they want to do is
tell how bad things are! After talking to Tommy Lecroy, from the
Bistro I shot right after Hurricane Ike, it seems that all anyone
was interested in around Galveston, earlier in the summer, was
finding out how bad the beach was due to the oil spill! Well, looking
at the beach and these photos it appears that Texas may have
been spared. But the damage is already done, as people are having
their last flings of summer fun, and the tourist industry suffers, as do
the individuals who have spent the last 2 years rebuilding Galveston
and the coast…

Fabulous Quilt shop

A glutton for Punishment…

I don’t know what got into me at the last photo meeting,
Plano Photography Club. This normally, very shy, quiet
person actually volunteered to be a speaker at one of the
monthly meetings. It has been 2 years since Hurricane Ike
hit the Texas shores and I have always wanted to show
my photos taken one month after…So, little ole me decided to
raise my hand so to speak and offer to show my photos and
believe me, I am not a public speaker … oh well,
off tomorrow to Galveston, Kemah, Seabrook and Clearlake to
see what has changed since my last trip there, 2 years ago!
I’ll let you know when I return this weekend
