Congratulations to Mr. & Mrs. Grimsley! They recently eloped over the holidays here at the ranch. Their spontaneity was great fun for us to witness and get to host….being native Texans, we love the boots and the handmade cake topper which was a surprise by the groom for the new bride!

Looking for something to do indoors but still get out while staying at the ranch this winter? Check out the annual Quilt Show:
A Tuscan Garden Quilt Show
Brenham, Texas 77833
January 18th, 2012
On the weekend of January 28-29, learn how to “Make Every 
Stitch Count.” While today we can go to the store and buy ready-made clothing, men and women of the early frontier had to know, by necessity, how to sew and create handmade clothing, linens and even decorations. There will be many hands-on opportunities to observe and learn these various sewing and creating skills.
Also, on Saturday, January 28, learn about the history and symbolism of the many flags that have flown in Texas, with guest speaker and former TSSAR president Tom Green. Try your hand at putting a stitch into a re-creation of an early Texas flag.
For details and fees for these events, call (936) 878-2214 ext. 246, or visit Birthplace of Texas.

By Tom O’Hara: “The Original Round Top Texas Antiques Fair, hosted by Susan and Bo Franks September 28–October 1, saw more than 250 exhibiting dealers offering antiques and collectibles from the earliest American styles through Biedermeier from Europe, lacquered furniture from Asia and even some of the later industrial fashions for the home and workplace.
Begun as a venue for American country-style antiques in “The Big Red Barn,” the show has expanded over the last five years with the addition of the air-conditioned marquee Continental Tent and the Big Red Barn Tent to allow for expanded inventories and styles, including many dealers that specialize in Continental, industrial and even some later Nineteenth Century styles. Carmine Dance Hall, located just over the hill, also offered air-conditioned space as part of this show……” Read more of what was sold and what was available.
The next edition of the show will be April 4–8. For more information, 512-237-4747 or www.RoundTopTexasAntiques.com .
