THESE BELLS TRAVEL BETTER THAN WE DO!

We just received an email from a customer with photos of their bells hanging pretty darn far from their place of creation.  They were purchased in Houston and now hang in South Africa, near Kruger National Park!

                                                                                                                           Small world!!

The Greatest Show in Texas is Reborn!

See you in Ingram this weekend! 

The weather should be great in the Hill Country.

CLASS REUNION TIME!!

So, just to keep you up with what we have been doing - we just went to Philip's 50th high school reunion last weekend. We both graduated from Victoria High School. Philip in 1968 and me in 1969. So, we went. And, we did have a good time. Here's a few pictures.

Our high school is now the Alternative High School. This is the monument out in front of the building.

This is the Stingaree which was and still is on the floor of the foyer of the old main building.
The threat from upper classmen was that if a freshman stepped on the Stingaree, he/she would have to scrub it with a toothbrush.

                                             We were surely proud of being a "Stingaree"!

The couple behind us is my very best friend and her husband, both VHS grads as well.

Carol, Janice and Judy (we are 1969 grads). 

New Art Show !!

Yeah, I know, we said we are going to slow down, not do so many art shows. But, here we are adding a show instead. In September, we will be participating in the new Texas State Arts and Craft Fair. It is going to be September 29th and 30th on the grounds of the  Hill Country Arts Foundation in Ingram, Texas, just west of Kerrville.

Here is a link: https://txartsandcraftsfair.com/

Come join us!!

Prior to that, we will be in Midland at Septemberfest on 

September 8th and 9th.

Always a great show in a wonderfully friendly town.

Rockport Art Festival 2018

We finished the first day of the Rockport show and it was great. The weather cooperated - hot, but not miserable. Lots of people came by and visited and some bought bells. Just thought I'd post a few shots of the booth front, inside and behind. 

                                                                                                                  

             

Rockport is healing well. Lots of work still going on. It is sad to drive by a slab that once supported a home or a business. I'm sure some will be the basis for a new building and we feel bad when we can't remember exactly what was there before. The Art Center is moving and will be located more in the "business" area of town.

We ate at three of our favorite restaurants and they have recovered well.

Paradise Cove Marina, where we would have had our boat, if our original plans had come to be, is still being repaired. Their huge dry dock building is being rebuilt. We were very lucky not to have had her here.

Ok - all for now. Let's see what today brings.

ROCKPORT Art Festival 2018
