Hey, Y'all! 
QUESTION: What do you get when you mix some cute sheep, a wool warehouse, clothing, repurposed items, jewelry, vintage and antique items with west Texas hospitality, amazing vendors, and the wonderful women of Petticoats on the Prairie?

Our booth, Garden Cat Vintage--so happy
most everything was sold by Saturday afternoon!

We were honored to be among some 70 hand-picked vendors for this incredible show in what was once a

    Oh good grief...it all looks fab. Just once (at least once) I'd love to make it out to West Texas for a look see and to just absorb it all.
    I ain't trying to pull the wool over your eyes when I say..."Good Job!"
    My daughter Jenn will be setting up at the Pinkalicious show and I'm hoping my doctor will let me go. Maybe I'll get to see you and get a hug. Some how I missed getting one at Zapp.
