T V Rewind

Here is the spot next to the window by the entry hall. 


The Hoffman 1950s television came from B's Aunt Boodie 
The feed sack picture was bought at an antique store on Main Street. 
We got black "chair" at an auction and found a white and black enamelware pan to go underneath it at an antique store in Fredericksburg. 


Added a needlepoint rooster chair pad from an auction box lot. (Love box lots!) 
Finished off the chair with a patchwork pillow made bu S's great grandmother.

Texas Vignette

The top of the chest of drawers in the master bedroom. 

This Indian painting was done by J's aunt Gail. 

Little buffalo statuette was inherited from J's parents. The five books on the bottom were gifts from various family members or flea market and garage sale finds.

Antique American Indian book has an inscription dated in the 1900s. It was a gift from S's mother.

Taxidermy Armadillo. Another inherited piece from J's parents.  We got the rock   / Grinding stone at an auction. 

Brass armadillo ashtray. Belonged to J's parents.  

S's cannon.

You repair things with tools. You FIX things with a hammer.
