JUNK GYPSY PROM IN WARRENTON, TEXAS

This spring, Warrenton/Round Top was fabulous.  My show was a success.  It was nice having my own RV to relax and renew after being "on" 9-7 everyday. I loved seeing all of my show friends and catching up.

I attended the prom with the goal of taking pictures of everyone having fun.  It is all in fun!!!  I do not dress for the prom anymore because I have had my share of fun at that event.  It's really BIG now and has to be attended by security because of that.  Drink of choice is everywhere and there is no limit to where you can walk with your drink.

Check out the pictures.

The guy in the white chaps is over 6'-6" before he put on those heels.  He is a drag queen.  That was a sight to see.  He was fun and had a fun attitude.  Needless to say, he dominated the prom simply because of his height.

BACK TO THE STUDIO

This weekend's Funky Finds Affair was a great success.  I met so many new and interesting people.  I want to give a shout out to Joe and Jessica Dougherty. They are the owners and promoters of this show.  They do a great job of organizing and making sure their vendors can do their best.  

There were people interested in attending the Simple Soldering Workshop as well as the Wet Felting Workshop.  If you have attended my workshops before, you know that they include snacks and beverages as well as everything you need to do the workshop.  All workshops are a minimum of 3 hours. I priced them at $45 for a show special.  They are regularly $60.

I'm excited.  Workshops will begin in May.   Invite your friends and make a day of it. Ft. Worth, Texas is a wonderful city to explore.

So naturally when I spend 17 days in the hill country, I have to stay somewhere. I park my rv in a very relaxing park.  I share this park with some very colorful people.  Check it out.

So then there is me.  See how colorful I am.....

It really is a nice rv park.  It is owned by the Dillard family.  Here is a couple of pics of this relaxing park.

All in all, it was a very nice stay and a very nice show.  Thank goodness it is only two times a year.  

So today I decided to put down my gardening tools, put aside my ebay business, stop researching old documents and books, and snap a few shots of Grayson Gardens. I still have lots of color and a very interesting cactus that is about to bloom.  I'm posting the cactus progression separately. Please enjoy and feel free to comment.

At least six feet tall and very melodious. Like having a small set of church bells in the back yard.  And you know I love my church bells!

Now just how did this picture get in here?
