“ Let the sun shine for everybody” by Roberto Alvarado
ROUND TOP
FAYETTEVILLE
SHOW DAILY APRIL 2018
“S
ame ol’ same ol’. It’s business as usual. Another day, another dollar.” Walking through the fields in the early days of this spring event, some of the comments to my question, ‘How’s it going?’ seems to resonate pretty much the same. But, understandably, these venders in the fields were a thousand miles away a few days ago, and whether their last show was great or just so-so, their tired and haggard faces and demeanor remain steadfast and perhaps bland. This is the job. This is their chosen profession. Off the grid and in the perpetual hunt for the holy grail. That’s the excitement of this profession. Never ask an antiquer to tell you of their most important find unless you have an hour or so to kill and you bring along a six pack. Well, most of the time. From the roving dealers of the fields to the old timers in the big, paid admission shows, there is an unwritten pecking order. A $25 vase in the cow pastures becomes a Newcomb College vase with a 150 dollar price tag at the Big Red Barn. But whatever the level these resilient Field finds in Bar W, Warrenton. dealers are in, the Thrill of the Hunt is the same. And for the (Photo: Bob Alvarado.). thousands of shoppers descending onto this beautiful countryside, the hunt is on too. It’s the twice a year ritual that’s hard to understand. You can’t shut it down, no matter what. It’s definitely not ‘same ol’ same ol’. Every spring there is a brand new shot at the hope of finding that sleeping giant. So, come on down shoppers! Wear your walking shoes and don your sun hats. These dealers, these gypsies, these all-American pickers have the stuff you’re looking for. This spring show will be a bit more difficult for us as we fly our flag high, but in the missing man formation. Yes, folks, our main man, Lou, just “rode off into the sunset”. Our glorified, 70-year-old paper boy’s legs will finally get the rest they need. We are all betting that he’ll get bored very soon and will be back in the saddle for the fall show. Our money, and any smart money, will be on Lou being “the be back boy”. Check out the line in Las Vegas! This writer too is getting old and just can’t keep up with his much more youthful wife, Suzy. After 18 years and 36 editions of Show Daily, with over a half million copies in readers hands, I feel that finally our reader base is starting to appreciate and see the stark difference between a genuine show guide to Texas Antiques Week like our’s and the ‘johnnie come lately” imitators that merely put together a booklet with ads and a few copied Google map squiggles and call it a show guide. “And don’t forget to bring toilet paper.” Here at Show Daily, we like to say that the ‘sun comes out and shines for everybody the same’. We feel we are genuine in wishing all a great show - the antiques sleuths that abound, the visiting big city chefs, the makers of bling, the up-and-coming fashionistas, and all the show promoters and field owners, both old and the new. We wish you the best this spring season. Have a wonderful show and good luck! P.S. An extra official announcement: Our chief production technician and co-founder has finally made an honest man out of this Show Daily editor, shotgun in hand, on November 21st, 2017. Judge Janecka presiding. ❏ Judge Janecka (rear).

Hanging up my Bobby Vinton bag by Lou Christine
ear dealers, field owners, Show Daily readers, shoppers and friends, as Show Daily sales manager for 18 years, your hopefully amicable and attentive salesperson - as well as a fair Lou Christine, long-time sales reporter and glorified 70-yearmanager and reporter for old paperboy - I’ve decided the Show Daily, retires. time has come to retire myself along with my sturdy, blue-canvas Bobby Vinton bag. It’s a hard decision. There are so many relationships established over this 18-year span. We’ve been through a lot together. There have been five presidential elections, a recession, a couple of wars and flooding due to hurricanes, tornados, the Bastrop fire, searing heat, and freezing Springs, and I grew through it all.

I won’t get mushy here, I swear, but first I want to thank Roberto Alvarado and Suzy Kirchberg for providing me the opportunity to become a small part of this grand event. I’m so proud to have been with Show Daily since the start, helping to transform this once puny 12-page black-and-white not-so-much-of-a tabloid that’s Show Daily today. It has manifested into a hundred-and-fifty-some-page, full-color, glossy juggernaut of a power packed publication chock with vital information. There’s no doubt in my military mind, Show Daily is the greatest antique magazine and show guide in the United States of America and all of its territories and maybe the world. Show Daily has enabled me to write with gusto, unbridled freedom, and even to get whacky sometimes. I’ve appreciated it all. No tears just yet though. I won’t be gone-gone. I’ll still

contribute and write for Show Daily, providing the readership vignettes about some of the events, venues and the absolute fantastic and interesting people who make up this show. I also hope to come back as a tourist or a shopper during show times. As for all my friends from Carmine to Warrenton, I’ve had the pleasure to forge fabulous associations that mean much to me and I look forward to the days I’ll be able to rekindle them by returning to Fayette County during the biannual events. Keep the Warrenton-Round Top happenings great and thanks for every thing! And don’t forget, “Read Show Daily!” ❏ Lou Christine began collaborating with Show Daily almost from its inaugural edition of 2000 and has played an important role in helping the publication grow into a well respected guide for visitors to the biannual antiques fairs in Fayette County. His sharp wit and tireless efforts will be missed by the entire Show Daily team. Christine, who was born and raised in Philadelphia, PA, currently resides in the colonial city of San Miguel de Allende, Mexico where he continues writing and building his own business - the San Miguel VIP Club - along with other endeavors. I know many dealers will miss seeing him walk the fields toting his trusty Bobby Vinton bag stuffed with Show Daily magazines, which he has carried for 18 years. Lou often jokes that he’s just a glorified paperboy. We look forward to seeing him back visiting as a "tourist shopper" for years to come. Thanks for everything, Lou. It’s been quite a ride! We’ll see you on the be-back.

Victorian splendor by Karen King
Do you know names and approximate dates of Victorian sub periods?
P
ractically all furniture (including Victorian) made in America before 1870 was made by hand. Top woodworkers and furniture makers who made their names in New York, Boston, Philadelphia and New Orleans often came to America from France, Germany and England. Architects, top cabinetmakers, master carvers and decorators initially catered to the very rich to create the finest homes, mansions, and full rooms of furnishings and accessories. Later, these designs would be offered by other woodworkers outside the big city to the general public over the next 30 plus years.
Queen Victoria’s reign in England from 1837-1901 helped coined the phrase “Victorian “ to label the eclectic designs happening on both sides of the Atlantic. The term is actually too broad of a category as unique styles came into favor and then faded. The rich or most well-to-do commissioned top quality, custom pieces in the very best woods that we are fortunate to find periodically in our travels. In America, furniture styles originated from design eleAesthetic round walnut table. ments of French Rococo (mid1700s), Greek Renaissance and even Egyptian classical forms.

Mid-1800s American Victorian Furniture
American Gothic (1830-1865): Spool turned, arches. Rococo Revival (1840-1865): Lots of curves, rich carvings. Renaissance Revival (1860-1885): Clean lines, burled panels. Egyptian Revival / Neo-Grec (1865-1875): Egyptian detail, sphinxes. Aesthetic Movement (1878-1885): Creative designs, nature theme. Eastlake Victorian (1880-1900): Geometric with incised detail.
For those wishing to learn more about fine Victorian furniture, a stop by Gone With the Wind Antiques at Cole’s Antique Show (Booth 57) in Warrenton will be time well spent. Owners Karen and Monte King are friendly dealers who will be happy to share their knowledge and answer questions. Many examples of the various furniture makers as well as lamps, mirrors, and other wall accessories are on display. Decorating and locating services are also available. â??

Meet the Winkles: Collectors of early Lone Star State historical pieces by Lou Christine
B
illy and Margaret (Becky) Winkles, who own “What a Crock”, are like many married couples marketing their goods at this grand show. Successful professionals in the field of health care, they have also still found time to follow their passion for collecting and selling artifacts and the historical aspects of the Lone Star State. The handsome Bay City couple has attended WarrentonRound Top for 30 years, first as shoppers and later to morph into dealers. Billy has built a respected chiropractor practice for over 40 years. Winkles oscillates between patients and medical offices in Wharton and El Campo. Giving Billy the once over, it’s apparent he might be practicing on himself. The Winkles are very much involved with Life Vantage, a heath oriented company on the cutting edge providing its customers various supplements for mind and body. Margaret balances much of that part of the business back in Bay City. Still, the Winkles find time to get out on the weekends and attend yard and estate sales seeking esoteric gems of early
REMOTE OFFICE: 512-535-3705
Texas primitives, stoneware and furniture from the Lone Star state. It is a passion they developed years ago. “Twenty years ago, we first set up at the Harmonie dance hall in Warrenton, next to Legal Tender Saloon,” recalls Billy. The pair now show every spring and fall season inside the air conditioned Cole’s Antique Show at the northern end of town. “We’ve been steadies at Cole’s since they first opened the building,” Billy says. As far as he and Margaret are concerned, the idea of setting up at the show means a lot more to the busy couple than just wheeling and dealing. They say how they enjoy the energy of the people - both customers and dealers - and the strong fellowships that have developed over time. “We’ve really met and made great friends at this show,” Billy says affectionately. The Winkles travel as far as Minnesota and Mississippi in search of finds that come from their scavenging adventures. These pieces are often saved for the show in Warrrenton“We’re lucky at times. We have come across Red Wing Pottery up in Minnesota. It’s highly sought-after by those in the know in these parts,” revealed Billy about the treasures available on the road. The industrious couple seem to be able to balance out an active life taking care of patients, distributing supplements and enjoying life as antiquers. Stop by booth #142 at Cole’s Antique Show in Warrenton and say hi. You may end up finding that fabulous piece you’ve been wanting to help complete your collection. ❏

Changes are in the wind at Clutter by Lou Christine
I
n mid January I sat with Jim and Shirley Schwantz inside their comfy Mexican hide-away smack in the middle of the mountain town of San Miguel de Allende, on Mexico’s highchaparral. Also present were daughter Staci and longtime friend and antique-ing partner D’Ette Cole. Staci and D’Ette flew in from the States on a holiday visit. The threesome reminisced about how Clutter came to be. Clutter is a popular showplace in Warrenton on the corner of Hwy 237 and FM 954. It is run by Mother and daughter Shirley and daughter Staci. team Shirley and Staci Schwantz run the popular Prior to 1995, mother, Clutter in Warrenton. daughter and friend had been setting up and selling mostly glassware in nearby Renck Field. Shortly after doing a show here they wondered just what the landscape looked like off Hwy 237 during down-time when there were no tents and traffic was void of any roadside action. “Let’s take a ride,” was the order of the day as they drove from home base Austin to Warrenton, roughly 60 miles. As

some will attest (along with myself), Warrenton presents a stark contrast around here when the show isn’t going on. They had voiced more than once how nice it would be to have their own venue. According to the gals, in those days there was basically nothing (antique selling wise) in Warrenton north of the Renck Show. Prior to making a U-turn on Hwy 237 at FM 954 before leaving town they spotted a cute little house at the top of the lonesome hill - and don’t you know it had a For Sale sign on it. Cute is cute ‘til you get to the rotted flooring and other nasty eye sores, but the price seemed right. They figured with a little this and that they could get the property in decent shape to run up the flag. They may have been further heartened when just after signing the papers, the ink wasn’t even dry, when another bidder came out of the woodwork. But he was too late.

Lamp Monkey keeps lighting cool by Lou Christine

Kendrick is the artist, and the brawn, behind Lamp Monkey, a business that makes and sells cool lighting fixtures and funiture in what can only be called an Americana folk style. Each piece is handcrafted from a blend of rustic, industrial, and automotive salvage, and the results will knock your socks off.

Kendrick can light up anything from front ends of vintage autos to football helmets, pulling off illumination tricks pleasing to the eye. He often uses vintage Edison light bulbs to create the right effect. His unique look, with most items being one-of-a-kind, have been noticed by bar and restaurant chains, as well as some inernational buyers. Lee credits the shows here with providing him contacts he would likely not otherwise have. He notes that some folks from Ireland have been showing up at his Ex.Cess II location the last couple of shows admiring his work and placing custom orders.

Madison Merrell: Wise beyond her years by Gail Bennett
W
hen Madison Merrell was a little girl, she didn’t sit around trying to decide what she wanted to be when she grew up, she just grew into what she already was – Daddy’s Girl. Says Madison with a shy smile, “I just keep doing what I’ve been doing with my Dad all my life,” - collecting artifacts from the past. What makes Madison unique is, at twenty-four, she is probably one of the youngest in the business. She and her father, Jeff Merrell have, over the years, amassed an eclectic collection of antiques, handmade furniture, and other interesting relics with a long history. Madison and Jeff, together with their “best friends forever”, as Madison Madison Merrell at her tent in Warrenton’s describes them, Edward and Beverly Gips, Blue Bonnet Field. (Photo: Gail Bennett.) have been setting up their tent for over 25 years. Correction – since before Madison was born, and as

So small, he says, “No one would recognize the name because it’s not on the map.” He got to Texas as quick as he could, in the 1980s, doing construction work. Madison was born in Houston, and the family later settled near Bastrop, where Madison received her education. What set Madison apart from her classmates was her lifelong love of early handmade furniture, antiques and antique related collectibles. Not surprisingly, her favorite subjects in school were history and art. What is surprising is her astonishing knowledge about these subjects. Stuff they just don’t teach in school.

The Marketplace Warrenton features Wine Wednesdays by Show Daily
Take note: The Marketplace Warrenton show venue, located directly across the Hwy from Bar W Field is hosting Wine Wednesdays during the spring event season. On March 28 and April 4, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., they are offering $15 wristbands for 5 pours of wine. The Marketplace has a comfortable sit-down area with brightly painted picnic tables that look out onto a stage which host several different musical groups throughout the show period. Their Jack Black’s Cantina includes not only refreshing libations, but large screen T.V.s as well, and the food court, with offerings from various food trucks is nearby. Come “unwine” for the afternoon, or just for a quick rest from the shopping and walking. This venue is also one of the few in the area to provide indoor restrooms. Look for the large red pavilions. ❏

It looks like this father and daughter team have their work cut out for them, but with Madison’s bright, inquisitive eyes, self-assurance, and an air of eager anticipation, this young woman knows who she is and where she is going.

upbringing galvanized him as an outdoors man. It’s more of a hobby than a business, het confesses, but there’s little doubt he appreciates his fine collection. One finds Merchant chock with gun knowledge, yet he’s not overly chatty. Have gun interest? You’ll hear enough. Merchant, the weapon maven, lets his merchandise speak for itself. When it comes to long time clients, there’s no need to say much. He’s quick to admit that many of his customers are as astute as he when it comes to antique guns. When asking what he sees as the biggest changes being during the area shows, he wonders aloud when it might slow down and he echoes - like many others - there are too many venues, great for weekend shoppers but not necessarily for sales.

Box of Fidel Castro’s personal cigars brings $22,000 at auction
A
signed box of cigars from the personal collection of Fidel Castro sold for an impressive $22,000 recently at the Boston-based company RR Auction. The box of Trinidad Fundadores cigars had been described as a “truly remarkable historical artifact,” and was expected to fetch $20,000 in the online sale on January 10. The late Cuban leader was synonymous with cigars throughout his life, and was rarely photographed without one for almost 30 years. Although Castro actually gave up smoking cigars in 1985, he retained a keen interest in the cigar industry and regularly promoted them as his nation’s most prestigious export. The Trinidad Fundadores brand was established in 1980, and produced cigars exclusively for Fidel Castro until 1998, when they were made available to collectors around the world. Until then, the only boxes allowed to leave Cuba were those which Castro gave as presents to visiting foreign dignitaries. One such dignitary was Dr. Eva Haller, a renowned
SHOW DAILY mobile: 979-966-7820
Hungarian-American philanthropist who met Castro back in 2002. Castro presented her with a wooden box of 24 Trinidad Fundadores cigars, and also signed the box in blue felt-tip pen. The box was offered along with a letter from Haller recalling her meeting with Castro, which reads (in part): “Castro handed to me the box of cigars. He gave them to me, because I jokingly asked him for it, when others lit a cigar. I told him, that if he signs the box, I will sell it and make lots of money. He thought that was funny. “As you may remember we spoke Spanish, and he was very proud of his Hemingway photo with a fish he caught and enjoyed showing around his house. We have some photos of the occasion.” Completing the superb provenance was a photo of Castro signing the box for Haller, making this an iconic piece for any political memorabilia collector or cigar afficionado. ❏

One-of-a-kind Micky Mantle baseball card found at flea market
T
he world’s rarest Mickey Mantle baseball card could fetch up to $100,000, after it was discovered at a flea market in Pennsylvania. The card, believed to date from the early 1950s, was issued with promotional tins of Mascot Dog Food, and is the only-known example in existence. It was found tucked inside an old photograph album, along with another card from the set featuring Mantle’s fellow Yankees star Yogi Berra. Both cards were previously unknown to the hobby, and are now heading to the auction block at Wheatland Auction Services. “Finding a one-of-a-kind sports card is a rarity in-itself. But it’s even more exciting when it happens to be two iconic players–Mickey Mantle and Yogi Berra,” said Wheatland Auction Services owner Stacey Whisman. “It’s impossible to put a value on a first-to-market Mickey

Mantle card that happens to be a regional dog food card, as potential buyers can include Mantle collectors, regional brand collectors, New York Yankees collectors, people who want the rarest cards in existence, and more.” The Mickey Mantle card comes with a pre-sale estimate of $20,000 - $100,000, and the Yogi Berra card is expected to fetch $3,000 - $15,000. Prior to the discovery, experts were aware that Mascot Dog Food had produced a set of promotional cards back in the early 1950s. The Mantle card features the same image used on his 1951 Wheaties baseball card, and is thought to date from 1955 or earlier. However, the set was so obscure that nobody knew who the set featured, or how many cards were issued. Just a single card from the set, featuring the Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Robin Roberts, had ever been found. “Discovering a previously unknown card in our hobby today is a rare find,” said Andy Broome, an expert at grading company Beckett’s which authenticated the card.

Unique area lodging options by Lou Christine
Flophouze
Matt White spearheads “Recycling The Past”, with its headquarters on FM 1291, about three-quaters of a mile down, just off Hwy 237. The New Jersey native oscillates between the family’s long-time salvage operation on Long Beach Island and the Central Texas location. No slouch, Matt has made an impact, show-wise, with multiple locations featuring salvaged architectural and other unique finds. He also hosts events, such as pop-up dinners, where a chef is invited in to create “community style” dinners. White’s latest creation is called Flophouze, an interesting concept that mixes the need for guest houses in the Round Top area with salvage - White’s passion. He and his crew take old shipping containers and convert them into guest lodging cabins, complete with kitchens and baths, bedrooms, and living/ lounging area. They can be booked for lodging during the shows and are located just minutes from all the events. The FlopHouze’s container row is adding a pool spa, scheduled to be set

up for this spring’s show. Right now there are six FlopHouzes on site with variable accruements. They sleep two to four people each and can be rented all year round.

The refurbished containers can come with various aesthetics, like custom cabinetry, various flooring, living space, kitchen, etc. For more information, please visit: www.flophouze.com

Fayette County Sheriff Department: To serve and protect by Lou Christine

Naumann, the officers continued on page 35 gave me a run down of responsibilities they take on during the shows. The head man is Sheriff Keith Korenek who oversees it all. “It’s a full month during the spring and another month taken up before and after the Fall Show that challenges our limited resources,” voiced Lt. Beyer. He went on to say during show time there not likely to be any days off for anyone. Figure the population, including day visitors, could soar to three or four times the entire population of the county itself.

those visitors who refuse to adhere to ther ules.” Shoppers and dealers who are picking up and unloading merchandise can not park on the side of the road or block traffic. We also have to take into account the local folk, many are inconvenienced by the show. Tourists pull over on the highway shoulders and obscure vision. There’s lots of erratic driving taking place and then toss in pedestrians, Jay-walking if you will, a potpourri that could be a recipe for major havoc. Then consider the deputy sheriffs have to make sure there’s room for emergency vehicles to get through like ambulances and fire engines if necessary. With the growth and spreading out of the show, things can become hectic. There also can be culture clashes. Almost all the deputies are local born and bred. Employing words like “Please” and “Thank you” while addressing people as Ma’am and Sir comes easy for the local folk who make a yeoman attempt to keep things civil. Many of our visitors who stem from the nearby big cities don’t adhere to country manners. Many seem oblivious, be it rubbernecking or making sudden turns or parking where they shouldn’t be. If any of you are familiar with the local department, know the officers make valiant attempts to keep order while appreciating what the show means to the county. “We love the visitors,” say Lt. Beyer. “We want them to have a great shopping experience and some fun too, but there’s a lot that can happen with the blink of an eye.” Visitors often complain about the backed up traffic, yet the deputies said back in Austin or Houston those people deal with the same delays. They expect it to be different out here in the country. The latest challenge for the department is the increased use of ATVs and golf carts. It’s simple; they ain’t allowed on public highways, period. They’re only permitted to operate on private lands. “For the most part, most of the show’s attendees go with the flow,” says Naumann. Yet it seems when people are

away from their home base they act differently and often don’t want to go by the rules, seeing everything as carefree and a mini-vacation. The Sheriff’s Department has requested signage that could warn drivers in advance about not driving recreational vehicles on the road but they have never come through. As for the speed limit along Highway 237, State law says it can’t be reduced for special events, adding an additional burden for deputies. The mix of commuters and tourists on the same roads can be dangerous. Lt. Beyer and Sgt. Naumann said there are times they need to be brusque, short, direct and put the uncooperative in their place. Better watch it, even the most laid back country deputy’s patience can be tested. They’re peace officers, just doing their job and looking to avoid disasters. On the whole, the entire department appreciates the visitors and venders alike and wishes for them to have a fabulous experience in Fayette Country. All and all, Sheriff Korenek’s team stays alert and on top of things, but do let out a breath of fresh air when all go home and things get back to country time normal. Give them a hand this show season by obeying the traffic laws. o

John Lennon’s “The Fat Budgie” sketch hammers for more than $30,000 at auction I have a little budgie He is my very pal I take him walks in Britain I hope I always shall. I call my budgie Jeffrey My grandads name’s the same I call him after grandad Who had a feathered brain.
A
famous sketch by John Lennon entitled ‘The Fat Budgie’ has sold for more than $30,000 at auction in the U.K. Lennon drew the rotund bird as an illustration for ‘A Spaniard In The Works’, his second book of surreal stories and nonsense poetry published in 1965. Considered one of Lennon’s “best-known and loved drawings”, the sketch sold for £22,500 ($30,086). The poem featured Lennon’s imaginary pet budgie Jeffrey, which he takes for walks and feeds scrambled eggs with a spoon.
REMOTE OFFICE: 512-535-3705
It included the verses: “He’s on a diet now you know From eating ear too much They say if he gets fatter He’ll have to wear a crutch.” “It would be funny wouldn’t it A budgie on a stick Imagine all the people Laughing til they’re sick.” Following the publication of the book, Lennon donated the image to Oxfam to be used as on a charity Christmas card in 1965. In 2007, to mark the 50th anniversary of their charity cards, Oxfam issued a reprint of the Fat Budgie card and Lennon’s widow Yoko Ono personally ordered 200 copies to send to friends. The original pencil drawing was formerly owned by Tom Maschler, a literary editor with publishing company Jonathan Cape. It was Maschler who convinced Lennon to publish his work, resulting in the 1964 book ‘In His Own Write’ and the second volume the following year. As a ‘thank-you’ for his help and encouragement, Lennon gave Maschler the original manuscripts and illustrations from the books. These remained in Maschler’s private collection for decades, before selling at Sotheby’s in 2014 for a combined total of $2.89 million.

Washington button brings $225,000 at auction
A
copper “Pater Patriae” button commemorating George Washington’s inauguration sold at auction for $225,000, a record figure for this variant. By contrast, another in inferior condition made $7,500 at Heritage in 2015. The piece was made in 1789, the year Washington became America’s first president. The Latin inscription translates to “Father of his Country”, a reference to Washington’s unique contribution to the establishment of the United States. These badges are very highly prized. Only six or seven are known to exist, with this example being the finest – even outclassing the one displayed at the Washington museum at Mount Vernon. Heritage Auctions comments: “This is the only portrait button in the accepted canon of George Washington inaugural buttons and has always been at the top of the want list for anyone interested in the period. It may also be the earliest artifact that refers to Washington as the ‘Father of His Country’.” Meanwhile, a large 1868 Ulysses S Grant campaign flag realised $62,500. At the same Feburary auction. Grant ran on the Republican ticket, helped by his status as the general who had secured victory for the Union in the civil war. He was elected to the office and served two terms, focused chiefly on rebuilding the nation and ensuring reconstruction ran its course in the south. Grant campaign flags are rare, with Heritage stating it’s only aware of three others. The lot displays an excellent portrait of Grant along with the legend: “Grant & Colfax/ Union is Peace”. o

a positive outcome. Gary was hospitalized a few days before the fall show was scheduled to open. His main concern was for his “antique family” and the loss of income they might incur if the Rose of Texas wasn’t open when they arrived. He asked Dale to handle the fall show and to promise that, no matter, he would stay there until the show finished. Dale left the hospital late Sunday night September 10th. Gary passed away the following Tuesday. Complications had set in and Gary could not recover. Gary was born in Dallas on January 24, 1951 to Harvey and Vera Wren. He was reared in Grand Prairie, Texas. During his youth Gary travelled extensively throughout Texas and especially liked the Gulf coast. He opened an antique shop in Dallas in his early twenties and later continued antiquing at shows throughout the South and Southeast. The beaches of Florida became favorite spot for both business and recreation. Gary’s travels eventually led to the Rose of Texas where he featured antiques during annual shows. Although traveling and antiquing were favorites, people came first with Gary. He was filled with love and compassion for family, friends, acquaintances and strangers. He had a generous heart and gave much to help others. In addition to brother and sister-in-law of Madill, Oklahoma, Gary is survived by a niece, great-niece, and numerous cousins. Also, his Rose of Texas friends and many, many others. Family and friends conducted a memorial tribute for Gary the last day of the fall show. Following, a commemoration was held in Arlington, Texas with a scattering of ashes at the graves Gary’s and Dale’s parents and lastly, placement of ashes at the Rose of Texas show grounds in Warrenton. We too at Show Daily will miss Gary - a customer and friend. Always a gentleman, it was a joy for us to work with him. o

Badd Co. Cooks become hometown heros during Hurricane Harvey clean-up by: Lou Christine
H
urricane Harvey bullied its way to the Texas coastline and further just days before the last show. For hundreds of thousands, the storm was devastating. Many dealers and shoppers wondered aloud about the impact it would have. Stories circulated how inventories were lost to rising waters flooding Houston warehouses. The Space City got a lot of attention, but miles of coastline all the way to Brownsville were in bad shape, as were smaller municipalities inland that did not posess the resources of the big cities. At show time, many noticed empty spaces. Perhaps 10 to 15 percent of dealers were absent. Among those missing in action were Juan, Rose and Juan Jr. Martinez, who own and operate Badd Company Cooks out of Warrenton’s Robinson Field.They are best known for their slow smoked BBQ and Mexican delights. The Martinezs made it through the storm fine, but their hometown of Woodsboro, located inland and north of Rockport, was hit hard.

Glass sleuths Martha and Clifford Shafer track down rare replacement glass pieces by: Lou Christine
W
hen it comes to needing antique glass, be it a highgloss, cut-glass dessert plate that’s missing from a cherished set, or a one-of-a-kind hand-blown paperweight, Martha’s Hidden Treasures is a trove of crystal fineness that qualifies to be called one of those (shhhh!) ‘secret spots’ one turns to for comfort when in despair. What casual, and even serious, shoppers may not realize when doing business with the loquacious Martha Shafer, who heads the sales table at Martha’s Hidden Treasures, is that she and husband Clifford are sleuths when it comes to rare and missing glass pieces. Married 29 years, the industrious couple more often than not can be seen delving into their countless reference books on the subject of glass, seeking out answers and adding to their knowledge. Martha says when dealing with customers many marvel at the very idea they carry punch bowls, with “lids” no less. Seemingly a rarity. Nevertheless, The Shafers are renowned for carrying an array of widely sought-after and rare items, and for finding replacements on pieces and sets once given up for lost. Martha’s Hidden Treasures’ motto is: “If we don’t have it, we’ll try and find it.” The Shafers are residents of Vidor, Texas, in the southeast corner of the state, near the Louisiana border. That’s where Martha was born and reared and where the Shafers still make their home and their business. Way back, often accompanying her pastor to garage sales, Martha became interested in glass. After she and Clifford raised three boys, Martha decided she want to go back to

work, yet she was somewhat limited physically due to a prior injury. She laughs and her rich, Eastern Texas accent gives way. She hoots how she was once a butcher, “I believe I was the only lady butcher ever heard of.” But, when it came to thinking further about going back to work, she quickly discounted such a thought, sensing she could keep her carving knives in the kitchen drawer. As Martha continued to scan yard sales, flea markets and personally collect, she and Clifford pondered opening a store. Right then and there, they had no location, had no store. Yet that didn’t stop her from accumulating more and more pieces of her newfound interest, fine glass. That was 12 years ago. The Shafers since have been coming to Warrenton and setting up in Dillard’s Field for over seven years now, and she’s developed a following. Truth is, if you want to look, buy or learn about glass, find Martha, ‘cause all and all according, to this reporter, she is a hidden treasure. o

Free crawfish and late shopping at The Chicken Ranch by: Suzy Kirchberg
C
elebrate Good Friday with some fun evening shopping and a free Cajun crawfish boil in the heart of Warrenton at The Chicken Ranch show field on March 30 from 6 to 9 p.m. Boiling crawfish is a Cajun tradition, an event and social gathering not to be rushed, but to be enjoyed with family and friends. There are hundreds of recipes for boiling Louisiana crawfish, and thousands of variations. Russ and Judy Mahavier, owners of Later Gater Cajun Catering, of Gainsville, Texas are experts at creating the tastes of Louisiana Cajun cuisine and are manning the pots for this special event. Even Elvis would be pleased. Live entertainment by Madison Paige, who was a contestant on the hit NBC show, The Voice, and an adult Easter egg hunt are also on the calender for the evening bash. Madison writes all her own music, in a style she calls Texas Country. “Most of the music today you hear on the radio is written by somebody else,” she said recently in an interview with Katy Times. “I want to be able to write original songs, and I want people to know when they are listening to this radio station that my songs aren’t written by someone else. As Texas Country, you are bringing back the true Texas roots. It’s all true personal stories.” The 17-year-old Katy area resident singer/songwriter has a bright future ahead of her. Andrea Canova, owner of The Chicken Ranch, who hails from Plaguemine, Country style signs at The Chicken Louisiana, says it is going to Ranch show field in Warrenton.

We have pillows and stenciled grain sacks, garden pieces, and lots of just cool, old stuff.” “We have an adult Easter eggs hunt planned too. It will be a blast. Tons of food, drinks and more!

Amazing Spider Man cover art brings $478,000 at auction
J
ohn Romita Sr and Frank Giacoia’s original artwork for the cover of Amazing Spider-Man #100 (1971) led a sale of comic book art at Heritage Auctions. The piece made $478,000 on February 23, a record for a Marvel silver or bronze age cover. It’s not hard to see why collectors were getting hot under the collar. As Heritage explains, this was “possibly Marvel’s greatest ‘floating heads cover’ ever, as this beauty featured pretty much anyone who was anyone in the Spider-verse! “His entire supporting cast (Aunt May, Gwen Stacy, Mary Jane, Harry Osborn, J. Jonah Jameson, Betty Brant, etc.) is present as you would expect, along with the major Spideyvillains: Doc Ock, Vulture, Scorpion, Rhino, the Lizard, the Beetle (ever notice how many of Spider-Man’s enemies are based on animals?), Sandman, Kingpin, Kraven the Hunter, Doctor Doom, Green Goblin, and Mysterio.” John Romita was inducted into the Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame in 2002. He entered the comics industry in 1949 on the series Famous Funnies. “Steven Douglas up there was a benefactor to all young artists”, Romita recalled. “The first story he gave me was a love story. It was terrible.

All the women looked like emaciated men and he bought it, never criticized, and told me to keep working. He paid me two hundred dollars for it and never published it — and rightfully so” His first work for Marvel was inking Jack Kirby’s cover and Don Heck’s interior pencils on the superhero-team comic The Avengers #23 (December, 1965.) Frank Frazetta’s Tree of Death (1970), originally the cover for fantasy omnibus Flashing Swords #2, achieved an impressive $430,200. That’s a big result given just how obscure this work is. It’s only been published on two occasions. Frazetta (1928-2010) is among the most influential fantasy artists of all time. His elaborate paintings of muscled barbarians battling terrifying monsters set the tone for the genre from the 1940s onwards. In recent years the originals have become ever more highly prized. In 2016, a piece titled At the Earth’s Core made a record $1m. This latest result proves there is plenty of headroom in the market, making a new record probable within the next year or so. o

Chinese porcelain fish jar hammers for $27 million
A
500-year-old Chinese porcelain jar sold for a remarkable $27.39 million in Hong Kong earlier this year, at a Christie’s sale dedicated to imperial treasures of the Ming Dynasty. The very rare and important Wucai ‘Fish’ jar was decorated with eight golden carp amidst floating aquatic plants, and retained its original domed cover. It also featured the mark of the Jiajing Emperor, the 11th emperor of the Chinese Ming dynasty, who ruled from 1521 to 1567. Just three other examples complete with their covers had ever been offered at public sale. This particular jar achieved a final price of $27 million to lead Christie’s first-ever evening sale of Ming Dynasty artworks. “Under the influence of the Eastern Renaissance, innovative techniques and new perspectives blossomed, which are perfectly embodied in the Wucai Fish Jar and Cover.” For centuries, Wucai fish jars have been considered among the most desirable of all Chinese porcelains. Just a handful of original examples are known to exist, with the majority owned by major institutions including the Imperial Palace Museum in Beijing, the National Museum of China and the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco. In February 2017, another Wucai Fish Jar crossed the block at Fellow’s auctioneers in the U.K. The auction house had initially believed the jar - missing its original cover – was a 20th century copy worth around $2,000. But even without being fully authenticated, it still attracted the attentions of collectors from around the world, and eventually sold to an anonymous bidder for $1.08 million. o

Rare Enigma machine tops $400,000 at auction
A
highly rare, fully-working WWII German Enigma code machine has sold for more than $400,00 at Sotheby’s. The machine was the leading lot of Sotheby’s recent History of Science and Technology sale in New York. Offered from the estate of noted cryptology experts Dr David Hammer, the machine realized $435,000. The four-rotor M4 machine was used by German U-boats to encrypt their messages, and is regarded as the rarest of all Enigma machines used by the Germans during WWII. Following a number of unexplained losses in the early 1940s, Commander of the U-Boat fleet Admiral Karl Dönitz began to doubt the security of the existing Enigma machines. Suspecting the Allies had cracked the codes set by standard three-rotor machines, he ordered that a four rotor M4 machine be secretly developed for use by the fleet. These new machines were far more advanced, and it would take the codebreakers at Bletchley Park a further 10 months to crack the codes they produced. Today, four rotor Enigma machines are far rarer than their earlier counterparts, as the majority were lost when German U-boats were sunk during the war. Enigma operators were also under strict orders to ensure their machines were not captured by the enemy, and many were stripped of their parts and destroyed before they could fall into the hands of Allied forces. o

Come in your prom duds and enjoy $4 tacos until late on Thursday, April 5. Did you know? Taco Fun Facts: While the word “taco” literally translates to “plug” or “wad” a small hole, it also means “after hours munchies” in Mexican Spanish. Tacos predate the Europeans in Mexico and were discovered to be the food of choice by the indigenous folk in the Valley of Mexico.

Mammoth skeleton tops $600,000 in France sale
A
12 thousand-year-old mammoth skeleton fetched a record price in France recently. The enormous specimen crossed the block at the Aguttes auction house in Lyon, as part of a dedicated natural history sale on December 16. The skeleton was originally uncovered in Northern Siberia, and dates from the Pleistocene epoch – the ‘Ice Age’, which spanned from 2.6 million to 11,700 years ago. It was originally found by a hunter, who had stored the preserved remains in his home for over a decade. Standing more than 11ft tall, the skeleton was one of the largest Mammoth specimens ever offered for sale. It was in remarkable condition, with more than 80 percent of its original bones intact, and its magnificent tusks each measuring more than three yards long. The skeleton soared to a final price of $645,000.

The billboard gives the name of the field or venue where the dealers shown can be found. The billboard matches the town’s designated color. Show Daily has a big 8-page fold-out map at the centerfold (starting on page 61). It pin-points every venue location between La Grange and Brenham. The magazine is set up just like the physical show area. We start at the north side of Warrenton and move south through town, cross the highway and head back north again. As one continues through the magazine, the layout matches the actual geography of the show area, heading south to north through Round Top, Carmine and on to Burton (with a short side-jaunt to Fayetteville). Not every Field and show venue open and close on the same day because each area is run by different individuals. There are over 60 different show areas spread out over the 28-mile stretch known as the ‘antiques corridor’. Rather than driving up and down the highway hoping your favorite shopping spot will be open, check the Show Daily calendar (on page 11). Just like the magazine, the calendar is color coded by town. It lists every individual venue in those hamlets and gives the official opening and closing dates. (Note: Many Fields start selling to early shoppers prior to

Our Show Places section (starting on page 38) gives a description of each different venue - organized by town, with the contact information and specifics (including whether they offer early shopping). This info also comes in handy for those wanting to rent their own booth next season, or to know how to contact an area if looking to recover a lost package or other item (there is no centralized lost and found for the shows). Voila! You can now find what you’re looking for in a matter of minutes rather than days. Now that’s smart shopping. But wait, there’s more! The stories and articles in Show Daily all deal with happenings in the area or antiques-related news and tidbits of information. Looking for fun things to do in the evening?

Ables adds. “We also Marburger Farm Antique got into a general store that Show. (Photo: Gail Bennett.) we have been trying to get into since 1987.

A Yankee gets a lesson on Jackalopes by Lou Christine
S
o there I was a couple of shows back, trucking along State Hwy 237 just south of the blinker in Round Top, a glorified, sixty-some-year-old, Show Daily newspaper boy and magazine sales manager. I was passing a familiar spot for me, commonly referred to as Cowboy Corner. Then I ‘sees’ it and I ‘sez’, “Is that a giant rabbit?” While driving, I’m giving it more than a once over and I figure, “Fool, rabbits ain’t got no horns!” Meanwhile, I’m craning my neck and trying to keep on the road - to get a better glimpse of that thing. In my rear view mirror I’m being pressured and terrorized by a chromebarred and mean-looking truck grill. The F-something on steroids forced me off the road. After pulling over and exiting my vehicle I got to walk back a few yards and stand in front of that whatever. “Ever set your eyes on a Jackalope?” A friendly sort of voice drawled. It was Randy Hill, who with wife, Suzanne, had recently purchased Cowboy Corner. Cowboy Corner’s long-standing rep is a Round Top showplace where one is unlikely to find any Coca Cola Cowboys but rather, genuine cowpokes every bit as real as the western memorabilia they display. Rather than trying to say to Randy, “I reckon,” I confessed I was a damn Yankee so the sight and mention of a Jackalope was new to me. Seems the 10-foot tall Jackalope fronting Cowboy Corner has become a landmark and was created by Cowboy Corner dealer and highly-respected Texas artist, Clinton Baermann. Randy filled much in how the Jackalope is a mythological beast, considered fierce and part of the lore he grew up with. Further investigating, it was back in the ‘30s, up Wyoming way, one Douglas Herrick and his brother, both hunters with taxidermy skills are given credit for its impedes by grafting deer antlers to the skull of a shot jack rabbit, and then sold the mounting to a nearby hotel thus popularizing the American Jackalope. Like Bigfoot or the Jersey Devil, the Jackalope is considered a fierce critter. But not the gentle one erected out front of Cowboy Corner. No sir-ree, Bob, that big boy made up of properties concocted by Baermann boasts a helpingfoot ladder that has many comers, including yours truly, mounting it for a keepsake photo. Randy took my picture. “It’s a real attraction,” says Randy, with shoppers posing to have their photos taken all day long. Randy and wife Suzanne purchased and took over Cowboy Corner a couple of years back. They stem from San Antonio and Randy has been a western collectable auctioneer for over 35 years, a craft he picked up from his dad. He does business off show as Randall Hill Auctions. The easy-going, friendly couple attended this event for ten years and set up their wares SHOW DAILY mobile: 979-966-7820
a couple of times before lifting the reins at Cowboy Corner. “We lost a number of great old timers here the last few years,” says Hill, “but at the same time we have some new hands aboard, good ole boys who have brought to market some genuine western goods. Randy ought to know, since western memorabilia is his specialty. He has dealt with fine antique guns for years. Suzanne has her own collection old western cowboy hats and vintage western garb and the other dealers on the grounds show-off their finery of things old and authentic and of a western theme. o

Talat Tekin: Travel to far away lands leads to good fortune for Round Top shoppers by Lou Christine
T
alat Tekin has been mostly behind the scenes at Warrenton – Round Top for over 16 years. The pleasant Istanbul, Turkey native has been supplying local dealers an array of rich imports. Talat, who sports a good sense of humor, coins himself as a “road runner,” a tireless seeker of riches for his clients. Sometimes he says he is a, “merchant to the rich or even not so rich.” For 35 years he’s ventured to the far ends of the Orient, acting as a shopper/buyer/trader and manufacturer. You name it, it seems the ambitious Tekin has had his hand in it, from textiles, Indian furniture and footwear to giant clay pots that come from places like Turkey and Greece and Armenia. Tekin has always flashed a flair, predicting what the market is in store for. With such experience, he knows where to go and who to talk to in places that may not be that hospitable towards

those who do not know customs and ways of the land. Many of the dealers who used to buy in these often dangerous places have stopped going, leaving Talat and a brave few opportunity to being one of handful who still bring these items back to the U.S. A few years back, Talat whose companies have gone by the name of DJEM and Kilim Home, decided to place a permanent headquarters here in Round Top, located at 1420 State Highway 237. During show time, Talat sets up his Kilim Home show at the Chelsea’s Meadow Field along with HQ also being open for business just down the road. Both locations will be chock with inventory. Talat said for the spring show he will be featuring furniture from India, stools, ottomans along with his textiles and bevy of pots. Go say hi to the affable Talat. He’s pretty easy going and always eager to make a nice deal. o

Dave Davis and the Arbor Antiques Show by Lou Christine
A
love affair and a livelihood! What more could a couple want? Curtis Ann Davis owns and operates the iconic Arbor International Antiques and Interior Design Show about a mile north of the light in Round Top on State Highway 237. She and husband Dave started the hallmark show in 1998. According to Curtis Ann, today Arbor Antiques is one of the oldest, privately-owned shows in Round Top. All the rest are venues either run by newbies or shows taken over by newer people. Curtis Ann and Dave Davis at Sorry to say, we lost Dave Davis in the midst of the Round Top American Legion the fall show in 2017. He was diagnosed in May grounds. and passed in September. The burden was awesome. Curtis Ann had to balance a husband/partner going through chemo and readying the venue for the fall event. Curtis Ann, a sweetheart, has taken it all in stride. “With seven children between us, along with 15 grandchildren, we had lots of support last show in the midst of it all. They ran the show for us until its final day, and then some. I was able to take Dave to our property in northeast Texas, say goodbye, an bury him under a favorite tree right on the land.” She holds tight to Dave’s final instructions, him sensing the end was near as he gave Curtis Ann final marching orders, even though she claims in a tender sort of way she was the boss.

Round Top Hill Antique Show: Like coming home by Lou Christine
R
ound Top Hill dealer Nancy Pedulla giggles some about how she’s been a long time merchant inside the tin roof building on the Round Top Hill field, located across the highway from Arbor Antiques. Solid area guy Roy Bolton opened Round Top Hill in the spring of 2003, after he and wife Marlene purchased the property in 2002. Bolton recently sold the show and land to the owners of Market Hill, prior to the construction of their large complex next door. Despite the changes in ownership, the Round Top Hill Show continues much the same as in the past, with Bolton still manning the helm. Despite no longer being the show owner, Roy feels close to the loyal dealers who still make Round Top Hill their showplace during Antique Week. “The Flores, Paco and Claudia, along with their Mexican pottery have been regulars since our first year. I believe they have attended every show,” Bolton recanted recently. “And Carol and Gary Pikett have been lining up their military memorabilia and glass almost as long, since 2005. Martin Mercador, who sells vintage chandeliers and paintings. We’ve all grown old together.”
SHOW DAILY mobile: 979-966-7820
A jolly Nancy Pedulla kids that she really doesn’t have her own booth and mostly helps parents, Albert and Beverly, with their antiques. But she too echoes Bolton’s folksy sentiments, “Oh, we’re a close old time merry band of dealers.” But don’t let Nancy’s nervous laugh and ambivalent nature fool you, because she might be the adhesive of the small group of about 20 dealers who hold onto the high standards of their profession. “Almost nothing new here. Nobody is trying to make a killing, but most are in for the love of the merchandise and the fellowship. Most have shown their wares at The Round Top Hill since its beginnings.” Of course, she paid homage to the main fixture, Roy Bolton. Nancy sang praise for the Bertinots - Sabra and Curtis - whom she affectionately calls “the Cajuns”, who have been steady dealers with their furniture and religious objects, and for Dale and Pat Singletary with their set up being ground zero for savvy collectors of knives and toys. Larry and Diane Cook sell gold and silver jewelry along with guitars and other collectibles. One of the strengths of this small but tight Round Top continued on page 101

Hill show is that the sometimes forgotten venue features knowledgeable and enthusiastic dealers with primo stuff from all over the country. They are disciplined in refusing to deal with tawdry faire. Nancy throws praise on her group: “We can really say almost everything at the Round Top Hill Show is vintage, no reproductions or boas. We have quality dealers like Paul and Lynn, who seek and import fine Russian artifacts and collectables plus carry a fantastic assortment of old Life Magazines, while Rita’s Attique, in from as far away as Iowa, carry fine porcelain, glass and other needless necessities. Marty Rosenfield sells linens, and Gary, Brenda and Caleb Hawley with their vintage offerings.” “We’ve got a good and steady group here,” Nancy adds. “And we all get along. We cook out back by the RVs and pretty much root for each other and encourage each other here. When apart on the road, we stay in touch and often hook up in places like Tulsa and New Braunfels.” Facts are, if any of the above appeals to you, Round Top Hill is the place to check out. The 12 acre show grounds boast RV hook-up facilities, and the covered tin building with its wood floor keep things high and dry during rough weather. With a band of solid dealers and top-rate inventory, Round Top Hill makes other dealers and shoppers feel right at home. o

fortified with faith, whispered they’d be with each other again soon enough. Arbor Antiques was always Curtis Ann’s baby. Dave had a big job in Houston. Curtis Ann was a junker like many of us. Reflecting back, she and some lady friends would get together for wine and chili and talk about future plans for business in Round Top. Curtis Ann, then a dealer, was showing those days in Warrenton. She also owned an existing business in Alvin called Arbor Antiques Services. Yet she saw the future, announcing growing interest in her own show in Round Top. The rest is history. Yet she recalls her associates insisted she not change the name of her enterprise and coined the new digs after her business in Alvin as the Arbor Antiques Show.

Top light to La Bahia. Arbor Antiques holds onto a solid reputation for a variety of dealers who have been there since the beginning. Many of our dealers and advertisers and shoppers alike have written or called Show Daily to ask how Curtis Ann is doing. “Oh, some days I miss him terribly, yet it’s kind of funny. Dave and I would have coffee every morning and we’d discuss that day’s activity. Some days I walk into that kitchen with my coffee and I actually expect to have our daily, yet he’s not there.” To a strong degree while conversing with Curtis Ann one might sense Dave is there, carried fondly in Curtis Ann’s tender heart. The nice lady who coddles her dealers is fiercely fixed in the present, seemingly fit for purpose and still the operator supreme with a great family who are her strength. It’s not that our Curtis Ann doesn’t have a lot on her plate. Offshow she’s an independent estate liquidator who is still meticulously planning for the next show at Round Top, always keeping in mind Dave’s final instructions of which she pays heed, “The show must go on!” o

Modern and sleek, it is a showcase best described as fit for purpose. After just show owner who doesn’t mince four show seasons, Market Hill, aka among dealers as words yet is the Paul Michael building, respectful to the has evolved as a must-see cause. show that’s gained immense popularity among seasoned antique buyers. Michael’s Market Hill line-up of dealers is a diverse group of 19, all of which, according to Michael, are slated to return this Spring. “Our dealers did very well and I’m confident they will continue to prosper.” Michael sounds like a man who wants consistency and insists on quality. One senses, when speaking with Michael, he’s done his homework and has realistically taken the pulse of the entire show. He keeps his inquiring ear close to the ground, so close he might have grass stains on his earlobes. The native of Arkansas, who honchos four businesses throughout the country, including his Market Hill, refers to himself as an ex-hippie who’s been in business going on 44 years. There are no airs here. Michael is the type of man who looks one dead in the eye and voices what’s on his mind. He is measured, a Razorback, strikingly sober about what’s at stake, and not shy about saying he’s plunked a bundle in his latest enterprise. Voicing concern like many who have paid attention, the crowd size of shoppers has not increased but with the show spreading out, invasion of so many new venues and dealers, the pie is split into smaller pieces. Michael is keenly aware of the huge, well-heeled populace within 150 miles of the area, yet in his view too many have no idea this extravaganza even takes place. He’s also cognizant there’s not a coordinated effort by show owners to boast outside advertising in order to entice more attendance. Approaching Michael, one will continued on page 106

discover a mostly open, easy-going person but businessminded. Michael isn’t the sort to sit back and wait kind of guy who hunkers on his laurels. He’s taken the bull by the “whatchamacallits” by taking an initiative and systematic, well-thought-out campaign of his own, spending mostly his own money to contact qualified buyers via mail with a swank publication of his own to give the Market Hill show a major shout out. Rather than just tooting Market Hill’s horn, the publication includes vital info about most of the venues up and down Highway 237. Most long-time observers do worry about the show becoming top heavy with too many venues and dealers rather than an increase of shoppers, the lifeblood of Antiques Week. If attendance doesn’t rise to an extent it could be trouble for many, even for some of the show’s longtime standard bearers. It’s refreshing speaking with a

show owner who doesn’t mince words yet is respectful to the cause. Paul Michael’s a survivor and he not only desires his own survival but desires the entire area to profit. He addressed the extended dates, with the events now spreading the show out as much as three weeks. His slant is that with the show more spread out, time wise, it may help to eliminate some of the gridlock that occurs on local roadways during what have traditionally been peek periods. All and all, Michael sounds upbeat, fully aware of the show’s vast potential, and he’s looking forward to his Market Hill Show being a big part of it all. o Photos: From page 104 - Dond and Marta Orwig’s booth features antiques from the mid-west and beyond.

Asleep at the Wheel plays at the historic Carmine Dance Hall

by Suzy Kirchberg
n 1969, Ray Benson and Lucky Oceans (Reuben Gosfield) cofounded Asleep at the Wheel in Paw Paw, West Virginia, and soon after they found themselves opening for Alice Cooper and Hot Tuna in Washington, DC. A year later, they moved to East Oakland, California, at the invitation of Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen. After being mentioned in Rolling Stone magazine by Van Morrison, they landed a record deal with United Artists. In 1973, their debut album, Comin’ Right At Ya, was released by United Artists. At the request of Willie Nelson, they left Oakland for Austin in 1974, and the city has pretty much been their home base since then. Since then, the band has won nine Grammy Awards, released over twenty albums, and has charted more than 20 singles on the Billboard country charts. Their highestcharting single, is “The Letter That Johnny Walker Read”. Ray Benson and the band are excited to be playing a one night only gig at the historic Carmine Dance Hall on Friday, March 6. The doors open at 6:30, with the concert starting at 8 p.m. Their western swing, jazz, boogie-woogie, country, and American roots music is sure to get the old Hall rocking. Homemade hamburgers and sausage wraps will be served at the concession bar, as well as beer, wine and set-up for BYOB, starting at 6:30 p.m. “Without Texas’ historic dance halls, there wouldn’t be Texas music,” says frontman Ray Benson. Last March the band worked with the nonprofit Texas Dance Hall Preservation, working with the organization on a five-day Texas Dance Hall Tour concert series. “Every day on the tour we went to a new town and dance

Art Connections, located in an historic building on the downtown square, is one of the most diverse and singular resources for art collectors for the entire region. Owned by Deborah Johnson, an artist herself, the gallery opened in La Grange in September of 2017. Their Bastrop location celebrated 6 years running just prior to the local opening. According to their website, Johnson’s gallery is the largest female-owned gallery in Central Texas. Art Connections carries over 110 local, regional, national and internationally recognized artists with an amazing array of mediums: oils, pastels, sculpture, photography, jewelry, glass, clay arts, and much more. They recently initiated a ‘Second Saturday Soiree’, which takes place the second Saturday of the month from 4 to 8 p.m.
REMOTE OFFICE: 512-535-3705
Guests have the chance to meet a featured artist or artists of the month, with a larger than usual display of their work set up in the gallery. There is live music, beverages and snacks. Other special events planned for the near future include Gallery Talks, book signings, and jewelry trunk shows as well as special fund-raising events from time to time for local charities. Johnson says, “Art Connections Gallery has strived since its beginnings to connect visitors and patrons to an artist through the offering of very special, unique art pieces. It is our belief that the ownership of art from the very small practical piece of pottery to the large investment paintings and sculptures gives enhancement to the quality of life. It is a special thing to have a piece of art speak to you, to be able to hear stories of the art or artist, and perhaps even meet the artist face to face. In seeking out the perfect gift, knowing that it is unique and can’t be found on a common internet site or at the mall, the giver can present a gift that has meaning as well as beauty and perhaps even functionality.” o

Two cute La Grange antiques shops by Suzy Kirchberg
K
at’s Korner, on the square in downtown La Grange, is a quaint multidealer antiques and collectibles shop with a nice mix of items. The place is clean, smells good, and the displays are nicely arranged - often a rarity for a small-town multi-dealer boutique. One of the fun things about a mini antique mall, especially in the country, is that one never knows what to expect. Kat’s Korner, and their sister store, Kat’s Too, also located on the square, are both well stocked with always changing, nifty finds. Looking for a big feathered hat? Hand embroidered tea towels? Vintage holiday decor? How about 19th century ironstone or transferware? You just might find it at one of the Kat’s stores. Katherine Svatek, owner of both Kat’s Korner and Kat’s Too, says, “We have late hours during the spring fair so people can come out and shop us after doing the fields. We’ll be open from 10 a.m. until 8 p.m. from March 17 through April 8. We always look forward to the spring and fall shows. So many interesting people!” Prices are reasonable at both shops and the service is very country-friendly with the sales staff more than happy to answer questions and interact with shoppers. There are few things worse than shopping a place with a grumpy sales attendant! No worries on that at either of Svatek’s boutiques. Stop by and take a stroll through both stores. Chances are good you’ll walk out with a smile and a great deal. o
