Country Reporter Festival

Every year there is gathering in Waxahachie put on by the Texas County Reporter tv show. It is a never miss for me and this year I scored my second Brian Asher piece. He is an AMAZING artist. these are pencil drawings that are just tiny slashes put together and if you didn't know and just looked at em you would swear they were black and white photos. go check out his web site http://www.brianasherart.com/index.html I scored my first one about 3 years ago and got the chance to talk to an amazing down to earth cowboy

I got to talk to him again today and this super nice cowboy gave me a 75.00 discount on this lovely. Look at the detail he puts in his pieces. mind blowing!

So, it now hangs in my bedroom, looking great and I think that one of Deb's http://talkingwhitetrash.blogspot.com/2010/10/shade-y-deals-at-sunny-acres.html Burlap lampshades are another touch that would compliment our barn home- go check this beauty out


We also picked up some homemade treats and a Cinnamon Apple pecan pie :-)

I am stuffed :-)
Have a blessed evening yall

    Hey girl - I'm familiar with Brian Asher, too. He's amazing - don't know of anyone else who can give a horse so much life and realism as he!

    Now, I'll take a piece of that pie if you don't mind - looks delicious!

    I'm glad Critter is enjoying his birthday present - you may become a "Call of the Wild" widow you know, unless you play, too!

    Tell us more about your new job! I'll tell you what, you can have mine if you want - I'd be ecstatic if my hubby told me I could quit and stay home! I'm SO looking forward to that day!
