ANYONE WANT TO GO ON A ROAD TRIP TO TEXAS??????   March 9 & 10 2012 to Fort Worth for a killer show full of junky vintage & stunning ANTIQUES!!!!

For two fabulous days, the Dolly Johnson Antique & Art Show packs in 75 top exhibitors from across the nation with antiques & art from Pilgrim Century to Mid-Century Modern.

On March 9-10, 2012, look for antiques and art such as: American, French, English, Jewelry, Folk Art, Industrial, Garden, Western and Mid-Century Modern. With music, Coburn’s Catering, and a cash bar, come for the plunder and stay for the party!

Founded in 1963 by Dolly Johnson, wife of long-time Will Rogers Memorial Center Director Rip Johnson, they are the oldest Antique and Art Show in the American west!! Well-known throughout the nation, the show runs only two days per year, only in Fort Worth.

Have you ever had one of those days that is just great from top to bottom??  Today was one of those days & I am most grateful for it… I spent the morning shopping & eating fried food with a darling friend in Kansas City’s West Bottoms.  Every First Friday weekend there are several old warehouses that are opened up and stocked full of antiques, vintage finds & a few hand made goods.  We shopped till we dropped and barely got through half of it.

I was able to get a couple of new vendors for the Weston MO Antique Show April 27 & 28 {you’re coming for that, right??}.  Including crazy-fantastic Melinda Dennis who has an amazing eye and jewerly you’ll drool over.

I saw lots of people I know & love… it’s a good thing to be amongst people who are a part of your tribe.  They have that same DNA that you have that draws you to the beauty of old things.

As the the afternoon moved on good news kept falling all over me and I am feeling grateful to the good Lord above for continuing to carry me through this crazy chapter of life.  THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU JESUS.  Hope y’all have a great weekend!!  Monita will be at the shop while I take the boys on a little road trip.  be safe & keep the faith, xofancy

Last Spring 11 was my first year to help organize Weston’s annual Spring Antique Show… inspired by women like Serena from Farm Chicks, Ki from Junk Bonanza, and of course my favorite Texas show, Marburger Farm, we’re a long way away from making Country Living’s Top Ten, but this is the 30th year of the show and it has deep roots.  I am so excited to be working on it again and thinking of new ways to stretch and grow the event.

This is, of course, an invitation to attend.  Our little town of Weston has loads to offer… a Main Street full of shops, eight B&Bs, a historic hotel, phenonomenal restaurants, a pub 5 stories underground, 3 local wineries… plus we’re only 15 minutes from the Kansas City airport.  There is no reason for you not to take a road trip, plane trip, bus or train.  Just get your booty here April 27 & 28 to check out our sweet little town + the ANTIQUE SHOW!!

IF YOU ARE A JUNKER & WANT TO SELL YOUR GOODS!!!!  Click HERE for an app… it’s super inexpensive to set up and we always have a great turn out with lotsa’ buyers.

My last temptation is the offer of Cactus Creek’s 3rd Annual Tamale Party… this year we are encouraging tamale attire {whatever the heck that means}… we’ll have fresh tamales, local beer & wine, live music & loads of fun.  Please join us. we’d be so happy to have you!!  xoxo, fancy
