These young damsels also happen to be part of our very competent staff: Introducing Kyla and Claudia. And they “ The boss” and T. Moore. circa 1969 Army Engineers are highlighting this edition’s QuangTri, Vietnam feature, “remarkable collectors I have known,” a splash of real, native Texans plowing the fields of our shows. We hope to entertain you with all the nitty-gritty and the bountiful doo-dads to be found here. So do tell--we want to know--about that Golden Fleece you found. Our magazine’s mission is, of course, to be a competent shoppers guide, but it’s also a study of what man has invented to make life easier. It’s a record of those things that we used and collected because they remind us of periods in our life’s past. By and large, it falls dab-center on what scholars call anthropology. A noun, a word…it is the study of human societies; including their habits, their tools, and their implements. In more modern terms, it explores the buying habits of various civilizations. I think that means I’m absolutely certain this ediwe are all, in one small or large measure, anthropologists. We like old, good stuff. tion #38 will offer no less than any We collect to covet, to rescue society’s edition since our inaugural #1. things from the piles of the discarded (or where ever they’re to be found). Ultimately, a collection is formed, displayed, or sold to another collector who equally desires it. From ancient Mesopotamian artifacts to 20th century baseball cards, the examples could fill volumes. As we begin our 20th year of publishing Show Daily-- exclusively for Texas Antiques Weeks and for you, our reader--we realize how many of these fanatical collectors we have come across and interviewed. It is through them that we are learning so much more about our trade, our industry, and ultimately our livelihood. We are not the experts in this field by any measure, but we do follow the philosophy indispensable to any profession: the most valuable commodity to us is information-knowledge and hard data of what we are looking to buy or sell.

it? We have lined up some great stories for your reading enjoyment, all about exceptional, fanatical collectors I have known…and some not so great (but interesting none the less). One of the most prominent writers we have ever had is Charlie Vincent, a celebrated sports writer who retired after 40 years with the Detroit Free Press. Since finding him in Austin, we have had the honor of having a few of his collaborations. “From Left Field” is Mr. Vincent’s introductory confession to his failed attempts as a collector; but then he follows up by interviewing a very successful and prominent old photo expert, Mrs. Susan Toomey Frost. (read Benign Obsession-Page 22) From academia to arguably crazy and zany is what the millennials have recently embraced. Kyla Goebal, a millennial herself, contributes a piece entitled “Slobby’s World,” about a Netflix original series that may make many of you hardened cross-country pickers cringe. But hey! It’s our own fault, I know… we have tried to teach our children the virtues of collecting the finer trinkets found in shows like ours. But Slobby Robby is making a fortune selling collectables you would never imagine. Michael Jordan shoes…really? (read Slobby’s Worldpage 25) And from Warrenton to Carmine, who doesn’t know our hugely admired, steadfast writer, Lou Christine? Still threatening to retire, Lou comes back in this issue with more clever dispatch. Don’t miss reading his stuff on pages 15 and 50. I know we’ll probably end up waking the roosters after prom night at Zapp’s. Yeah, and we’ll also be merrily humming to Willies tune, “I ain’t dead yet,” again.

Mr. Bediko will also be on hand to witness year 50 of the shows. Read the story of this successful craftsman and long-time pal of mine, turned millionaire, who remains a humble and hardworking folk artist. I dedicate this issue to all my friends and readers. We are working for you and for the continued bountifulness of our great “Texas Antiques Weeks’ celebration. And mostly I dedicate this number to my dearly missed wife Suzy. “I miss you every single day.” And to all of y’all who have supported us throughout the years thank you so much. Heartfelt love and hugs go your way. R.

Collecting!...What About It? by Lou Christine
Snooping around this show enables one to discover interesting people, and often enables us to to find out things we never dreamed about. You know the old saying, “When you’re green, you grow. When you’re ripe, you rot.” Besides the antique and crafts people who attend are an important contingent--the collectors. They come in all types and sizes. Some have been collecting items for a lifetime. Other brand-new collectors may have woken up this very morning. Like me as a reporter, when given the privilege to view the magnitude, depth, and financial worth of somebody’s sumptuous whatchamacallit collection, I become spellbound. I appreciate the time, energy, and tenacity that has been invested into the process while gathering such Patrician pieces of perfection. I may even marvel at the appropriate display housing such finery. A hint of jealousy might arise. But then it happens. It happens to me. My admiration for what I have been observing begins to wilt. Not because the collector or collection doesn’t have merit. But further, in my case, I begin to cringe. My mind’s eye has me going back in time. Pangs of a wasted lifetime, pegs me as a sod! If only I had been better educated, observant, and patient, and foreseen the future. Maybe the collector is sharing with me their indepth knowledge of a particular do-daddy. It’s esoteric, stuff you don’t hear every day. They might be going on how they scaled mountains and crossed deserts to obtain such, at great risk and cost. Yet while they’re lips are moving I begin to have flashbacks. I can’t hear a word they’re uttering. I see myself. I’m kneeling at the curbside dressed in jeans, sporting PF Flyers, further dressed in a 1950s white T-shirt. I’m 10. I’m pitching baseball cards towards a brick wall 15 feet in front of me. I didn’t really want to play or risk my Mickey Mantle rookie card or my Willie Mays, but older
and scarier Ray McGreevy and Jackie Christiansen terrorized us younger kids and leaned on me a bit. “You want to hang out with us, or what?” growled Ray. The rest is history. Even when I began to assemble other collections, either twice or six times, I got bamboozled by Ray and Jackie or more so, just wasn’t responsible, my Hank Aaron got swiped or poor Warren Spahn got lost, Yogi got bent and ripped, or others got thrown in the wash with my jeans. As my host continued their attempts to dazzle me with the history and splendor of their life’s work, I’m thinking about those original 45 RPMs I bought with paperboy money and I can envision their pristine covers with Elvis looking young and vivacious. “You Ain’t Nothing But A Hound Dog” and “Don’t Be Cruel” were round paper labels glued onto each side of the vinyl. To think, I had ‘em all! Fats Domino, Little Richard, Guy Madison, Lavern Baker, Brenda Lee, Richie Valens and names I can no longer remember. I bought a record each week. Even that cheap, 45rpm turntable is probably worth a pretty penny today. I think I sold those 45s in one day for cigarette, Pepsi, and pinball machine money. And then I had those Indian head pennies and walking Silver Dollars. Somehow I possessed rolls of what numismatics called the 1960 Lincoln pennies with a “little o” minted on the face of the coin. Fiftycent rolls ballooned to $200 a roll. I think I lost them in a card game. The silver coin quarter collection wound up going into slot machines at the church carnival. I snapped out of it for a moment as my host cleared his throat holding onto something ultra dainty while my muffled hearing hears, “There’s only seven known in the entire world!” I give the piece a soso look and a nod, yet my focus shifts back to lost treasures, to the Lionel train set. That mighty, blackas-coal, lead engine flashed such power, accessorized continued on page 16

COLLECTING from page 15 by spiffy looking Pullman coaches, tankers, freight cars, and a caboose with inside lights. There was the big transformer powering the entire shebang with track switches while my Plastic-ville was alive and aglow with an electric trolley car and Plastic-ville houses teeming with life. I think I got drafted. In earnest I do admire the collecting done by close friends, associates, and those I have interviewed. Would they have let go of that Sony, reel-to-reel tape collection like I did? It’s embarrassing. Sometimes circumstance dictates events. A real kick in the stomach happens when I think of the 1800 LPs I left with a trusty soul back in Hawaii in 1995. Maybe they were trusty, maybe not, after a couple of decades, still no explanation. Why ask? Yet looking back, I can still see my one-time mentor Louie Zerillo, now gone, with the loop planted to his forehead peering at his stamps and coins. Louie safeguarded a gas-jet collection saying it was worth a fortune! After 50 years of collecting he lost the stamps, coins, and jets due to the track and casinos. They were sentenced to dusty, ill-kept pawnshop shelves. My friend in Hawaii, Tim Morrow, also now gone, born in 1911, was given a piece of jade on his 7th birthday in his hometown of Chicago. Tim became one of the world’s foremost collectors and dealers in fine jade and black pearls and other rare artifacts stemming from the Orient. Even the publisher of this fine Publication, Roberto Alvarado, starts to twitch, quiver, gyrate and might begin talking in tongues when he comes across an errant piece of Longwy ceramics, once produced in France. Figure gathering is one of the original professions. It’s noble and says much about the person. Some are hoarders, others admire beauty and preciseness, other collectors might be continuing a family tradition. Some see the likelihood of appreciated value, and with some, it’s strictly business. Collecting certainly offers a certain satisfaction of value and accumulative knowledge, perhaps justifies given time. Collecting, I suppose, pumps up assets. One thing is for sure, the folks manning the sales tables at this show surely appreciate them. o

Collecting Military Memorabilia by Lou Christine
It seems the most significant era in a nation’s history is the when that nation spilled blood: spent time and treasure at war. Discounting the gore and horror of it all, for historical reference relics of those times do continue to draw popular interest. Chris Denham, a military memorabilia collector and San Antonio attorney, is a fan of those times. His attraction to the relics first began when he was about eight year’s old after purchasing his first set of pilot wings at a show with his dad. Denham already had grandpa’s Korean War’s infantry helmet that survived along with grandpa. “Plus, dad was a collector and antiques dealer at the time, so I had an initial education about the value of items,” voiced Denham. After 25 years his quest continues by accumulating a plethora of products from past conflicts. “My interest leans towards U.S. Military, especially the WW II, Korean and Vietnam era type items, yet my collection continues to grow, is diverse, with arrowheads and artifacts from ancient Egypt. I’ve recently begun to acquire memorabilia from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Along with grandpop’s, Denham says he has over one hundred helmets. He collects uniforms, insignias, utensils, bonnie hats, arms, and Chris Denham items worn and used by past warriors. Denham and wife Cecelia are rearing their toddler, so much of his collection is housed at his parents’ home in Schertz, Texas. Denham has set COMMERCIAL/RETAIL up handsome and informative displays including manPRIME LOCATION nequins sporting uniforms of yesteryear. His most prized possession?

MILITARY from page 17 insignia clearly visible on the side. The back of the helmet has been welded back to whole, since being hit and split by a German 8mm shell in Italy in 1943. The owner, a major, earned a silver star and purple heart, retrieved the helmet having it repaired and wore it on the doorsteps of Berlin at the end of the war.” Denham has the incident all documented. Adding to the value of the said helmet, after 1943 the army ordered to no longer flash unit’s IDs on equipment for security reasons. Denham honchos his own military memorabilia show, “The Alamo City Military Expo,” put on twice a year in Schertz, near San Antonio, in late April and in late October. http://www.acmemilexpo.com/ When asked where is the best market and show for military memorabilia? “Hands down! “The Show of Shows,” in Louisville, is the biggest and best in the U.S. and it just might be in the world.” What advice would Denham offer a newcomer to the field? “My first piece of advice is educating yourself. Reference books become a must and for what they cost they are a small investment for the information they provide when it comes to memorabilia,” explained Denham. “It’s such a vast hobby and one can buy a shoulder patch for a thin dollar, or a Tiffany & Company Presentation Sword that could go for six to even seven figures!” Denham strongly suggests quality and condition when it comes to making buys. He personally sounds more interested in the asset nature of an item than an investment he hopes to move a show or two down the line. He classifies himself much more of a collector than a dealer, yet one shouldn’t ignore a sterling profit. WWII American, German, and Japanese helmets certainly have their popularity, yet Soviet helmets have recently come into vogue, probably because they have yet to be picked clean. Weapon of the same era are sought after like M1 carbines. Of my years spent chatting with collectors, I’ve discovered that military memorabilia often has a tasty story to go along with it—a tale of life and death circumstances. That gas mask could have saved a doughboy’s life somewhere in a trench in France. Who was behind that silver-star? Has that bayonet ever run through a human’s innards? One can look back in time and imagine the furious action some military memorabilia has been through and just imagine if that canteen, or ammo box or first aid kit could talk. Some items do tell stories with their knicks, smudges and tell tale signs that speak volumes. volumes. o SHOW DAILY mobile: 979-250-3319

From Left Field by Charlie Vincent
I shouldn’t make too much of it, but I am a collector. Have been a long time. I belong to a generation of men, no longer young, who still hold to blame mothers, most now departed for a better place for spoiling our collections. For not realizing their value to our souls or to our net worth. I had shoe boxes full, I am sure, of those valuables. There were hundreds of them, still bearing the faint smell of bubble gum. Pictures of Ted Williams and Mickey Mantle of Enos (Country) Slaughter and Sandy Koufax. They were in my bedroom, as I grew up in Victoria, Texas. They were in my closet. Then, I thought, they were in the attic, when I went off to school and then to marriage. And then, when I came back to claim them, once time had passed and some people my age were getting wealthy off the old baseball cards, they were gone. “Don’t know what happened to them,” Mom said. “I thought you took them with you when you left home.” Oh, I knew I hadn’t safe-guarded all of them. Some doubles mostly, or cards of undistinguished short-term major leaguers wound up as noise-makers between the spokes of my bicycle. It was cool. I was very cool as a teenager, but like the baseball cards, I lost my coolness somewhere along the way. The baseball cards were never found. They had just disappeared. Lost to the ages. All except for three of those Ted Williams cards. He was my earliest sports hero and I had kept them with me, even when I left all the others at my boyhood home. At some point I put the three Williams’ cards between the pages of a book, for safekeeping. To insure they would not get bent or dirtied. I have looked for that book for years now, without success. But I know I still have it. In a box somewhere, perhaps. Or on a shelf in my office that I have not explored. Maybe stuck way back in a drawer. That is my history as a collector. I am a failure. Treasures that brought smiles to my face will never to bring smiles to my sons or to my grandsons. Or to others like them, who would have paid ever escalating prices for those old baseball cards. Growing up as I did, not all that far from the Mexican border, I was not ignorant of the treasures from south of the border. I have always had an appreciation of fine things Mexican; of a well-sung version of Sabor a Mi, of a well-stuffed chile relleno, CELL: 979-250-1494

FROM LEFT FIELD from page 18 of Carlos Hermosillo’s artistry on a Mexican soccer field, and the tart pleasure of a frosty margarita. Oh, art? Real art? Well, I know Frida Kahlo’s name. And Diego Rivera’s. I’ve seen his magnificent fresco panels on the walls of the Detroit Institute of Art. But when someone mentioned Luis Marquez, I tried to look him up on the internet and found there had been a major league baseball player from Puerto Rico by that name, who played a few seasons for Boston, Pittsburgh and the Chicago Cubs in the 50s. So when El antiQuario’s editor, Roberto Alvarado, asked me to contact Susan Toomey Frost for an interview, I began my e-mail to her by admitting: “I am no expert on art, Mexican or otherwise.” After visiting with her at her south Austin home, on a hillside overlooking downtown, I am still no expert. But I have a new respect for a wide range of Mexican arts, for their beauty, their scope and, most of all, for the knowledge, the hard work and the tenacity of the people who forage the flea markets, the internet, the secret and elusive places where works of the past now rest far away from the eyes of the world. When Roberto asked me to visit Susan Toomey

Frost, he told me she was “an important collector”. I left her home knowing why that is so. And I left knowing I am going to enjoy this new look at things I have looked at for so long, but so often not seen. o

Benign Obsession by Charlie Vincent
Her user-name with the online auction service, eBay, makes a frank statement about Susan Toomey Frost’s addiction to collecting Mexican arts, artifacts and antiquities. “benignobsession”. On the world wide web site, that is how she is known. And in person, she says it is an accurate description of the hold Mexico’s artistic history has upon her life. “Nobody assigned me this,” says Toomey Frost, standing in the foyer of her Austin home, surrounded by 50 filing boxes, each containing approximately 800 Mexican postcards. “It’s just what I do.” There are postcards picturing palm trees and postcards paying homage to ancient churches, postcards of burros loaded with agave and postcards of women in traditional dress, postcards of roadside motels and postcards of beaches. Postcards that most would not take if they were being given away. “A great deal of this could be characterized as junk by many people,” she says, but what’s junk to some is someone else’s treasure. And the most treasured of her collection are the postcards bearing photos taken by Hugo Brehme, a German who recorded with his camera the Mexico of the first half of the 20th century, before dying

in 1954. Susan Toomey Frost became a collector of Brehme almost by accident, but she was destined almost from birth, to be a collector of something. Her paternal grandfather collected stamps and recruited her as a child to put them in albums and keep them presentable. An uncle collected clocks and coins. Her mother collects “anything and everything; the good, the bad and the ugly, all piled together. Mother simply accumulates and daddy builds another storage unit behind the house. When she fills it up, they lock the doors. They put numbers on the doors. They’re up to number seven.” So the question never was: “Will Susan collect?” but “What will she collect?” In Guadalajara, in the aftermath of what she calls a “hairy divorce”, she found the answer. Or rather, the first answer. She is either well-to-do or wealthy, take your pick though she isn’t inclined to talk about it. Her family has owned land in Austin for generations and the divorce that sent her to Mexico was from a man named Frost, whose family is the Frost Bank of San Antonio. In 1973, when she determined San Antonio was not large enough for ex-husband and ex-wife, she packed up her two children and took a teaching position at Universidad Autonoma de Guadalajara. There she began a collection of books on the AustrianHungarian Empire that now totals more than 10,000. “That was the beginning,” she says. “Then I began collecting Mexican art on paper and got very interested in that.” Her home is filled with the evidence. Paintings done by Mexican artists in the first half of the 20th century vie for space on her walls with black-and-white photos of a Mexico that no longer exists. One-of-kind Mexican tiles fill display cases and pottery and plates and more tiles hang in her kitchen and adorn her sun-dappled patios while bookcases sag beneath the weight of her literary acquisitions. By the time she remarried in the late “80s, her collections were so extensive that her new husband “ a newspaper reporter could only look at the house he had moved into and shake his head. “He is a minimalist person,” says Toomey Frost. “He had like one knife and fork and spoon, because “you’re going to wash them before the next meal, right?”. All his possessions, he could put in half a closet”. He said, “Well, what do you need that for?” I think he really thought that if I had the love of a good man, I wouldn’t need this substitute. But over the years he has

come to understand. Today she is recognized as an expert on Brehme’s work indeed, maybe, as the expert. And she came upon him by accident. It was one of his photographs of tiles that first caught her eye. Toomey Frost had become intrigued with San Jose tiles, manufactured in San Antonio. But identifying true San Joses was a problem. “Some Mexican tiles had been installed in San Antonio,” she says, so I had to have a way to identify which were made there and which were from Mexico. I decided if I could find pictures from Mexico of tiles with patterns on them, I could be pretty sure that those tiles were made in Mexico, because we didn’t make tiles that were imported to Mexico. “I started looking for pictures” and postcards on the internet to do research and I found one photographer Brehme with some beautiful tiles in the background, just gorgeous. I loved the composition and I thought: “Damn, this is a really fine photographer”. “I looked him up on the internet and there were two references to the photographer and art dealers. A dealer on the East Coast had one postcard that he was asking $250 for and the other wanted $150. Well, that got my attention. I had been buying these things for 10 cents, maybe a dollar. When I started, nobody wanted Mexico (postcards)”. “I had only been hunting for tiles and pottery and not the other stuff, but I decided then that I needed more of this photographer, so I started in earnest and it was purely thinking that I could flip things I found for very little sell it for more and use the money to buy things I really wanted.” She went to flea markets, postcard shows, networked with other collectors and, eventually, sought out stamp dealers, because they’re looking for the cancellation and don’t care what’s on the front. When they have a crummy stamp and a crummy cancellation, they toss it into a box, because it useless to them. What they throw away may be a really wonderful postcard on the other side. “One dealer sold me a whole box for $120 and I found three Brehmes in there, so it was a good deal . . . now I think I have thirteen hundred and fiftycontinued on page 24 SHOW DAILY OFFICE: 979-249-4149

BENIGN OBSESSION from page 23 some Brehmes. Photographs, Christmas cards he introduced the photographic Christmas card to Mexico and postcards.” Her study of Brehme led her to other Mexican photographers of that era, Luis Marquez, Rodolfo Montiel, Mauricio Yanez and Manuel Alvarez Bravo recognized as one of the greatest Mexican photographers ever who bought his first camera while working in Brehme’s studio. Those Germans and Swiss were trained in photography schools and then spread out to the world, because there was the fascination with the noble savage, you know, documenting the world’s people. Some of the postcards are worth money; others are worth memories. And Toomey Frost finds one as valuable as the other. She tells of a man from Mission, Texas, who came to look at her collection. His father had owned a small motel in a rural town in Mexico, and behind the motel they started a nursery. He was here with his kids, and they found a postcard with a picture of the family motel. He got so excited. He said: “There’s the balcony! And that’s my father’s truck. There’s the nursery sign! We lived there!” “When something like that happens it makes it all worthwhile.” Though the vast majority of her collection is not Hugo Brehme’s work, it is history. And it is irreplaceable. A lot of the postcards are unique. They are the only evidence of what something looked like at a point in time. The only records we have. That’s why I collect from beginning to end, urban history through the years, (so we can ask) did we do a good job . . . I collect from very old to chromes because this is a continuous world. “I collect things that I find attractive or beautiful, or for some reason, it’s important. That’s what motivates me.” She is a gregarious woman, easily given to laughter, quick to see the quirky side of life and the quirky side of what she does. But about her collecting she is intensely serious. And not in the least modest. “I am a good collector,” she says matter-of-factly. My premise is collecting something no one sees value in at the time. There is no price guide for it, the research hasn’t been done, the book hasn’t been written about it. It’s something that has been overlooked. Or they just haven’t recognized. I’ll see some kind of inherent beauty in it that I think is valuable. I start collecting it, I research it, I write about it, or get on TV about it, publicize it. “Then I defeat my own purpose because the price goes up, because other people begin collecting it too.” I told her I had been told that she was an “important collector” and as a novice in this field, I didn’t really know what that meant. “An important collector,” she said, without disputing that she should be included in those ranks, is one that has a good eye, in the first place. A sense of connoisseurship, intense focus on getting the objects, studying them, studying what’s behind them, who made it, when, why, what materials. What was it sold for? What was its intent? Cataloging. And an important collector shares that information with the world, either through writing articles themselves or lending the material and making it available to researchers, lending stuff to museums. “And promoting what those artists do. Honoring them and honoring their families for putting up with their manias. Share that with the world and share your emotions about it. What a collector brings to a collection is the knowledge and previous experience that gives a perspective that’s different.” She has opened her home to lectures and an occasional tour to display her collection. “I am,” she says, “only the temporary custodian of (these collections). I do not own them; they own me.” For Susan Toomey Frost there are many rewards in her benignobsession. I go to e-Bay every single day. I wake up and that is job one and the world comes to me . . . doing this, you meet the rich, the not so rich, all kinds of people . . . About her future as a collector, she is certain of only one thing. I want to go out running down the aisle at a flea market someplace in hot pursuit of the ultimate thing I’m missing . . .there’s no dumpster you won’t dive in, if you think your stuff is in there. “I will be doing this until my dying day. I can’t stop it and wouldn’t want to.” Circa 1930-1940 vintage post card, photo by artist Hugo Brehme Photographer Hugo Brehe caputred the essence of Mexico in his photos of the land and its people. ❏ SHOW DAILY mobile: 979-250-3319

Slobby’s World
Collecting for the Minds of Millennials
by Kyla Goebel Millennials are weird. And I can say that because I am one…whether I like it or not. Technically speaking, a “millennial” is someone who was born between the years of 1981 – 1996. Recently in the fashion world, styles from the 80’s and 90’s have gotten a resurgence in popularity thanks to “my people”. When I go into stores or browse my favorite clothing sites, turtle necks, stirrup leggings and chokers are suddenly listed as “best sellers”. Maybe it’s the “real world” that makes us want to revert to simpler times when our biggest worry was if we fed our Tamagotchi pet. Robert Hall – aka “Slobby Robby” – has made an impressive living by reincarnating collectibles from the 1980s and 1990s, and taking us millennials back to yesteryear. Tucson, Arizona, is the newest hotspot for millennial tourism, thanks to Slobby Robby. He coowns Generation Cool, a store that could be considered a museum of memorabilia from my youth. Toys, VHS Robert Hall, aka Slobby Robby tapes, jerseys from top athletes of the time – you can A short trailer for the series has me both captivated bet it’s all there.

Playboy, Inc. Magazine, and Forbes Feed the Frenzy Big league collectors taking notes: R. Alvarado Never before have mainstream publications like these, which have little to do with our business, extolled so much on the virtues of antiques, fine art, and collecting. Investment brokers often advise their deep-pocketed clientele to keep a minimum of 15% of their portfolio in coins, fine art, and antiques. While most collectors collect for the pure passion of it, these are purely for speculation purposes. As millions of baby-boomers reach retirement age, many with millionaire pensions, This “blizzard” onionskin type it is the former hippies of the 60s who are driving the market on what’s hot today. In with suspended bits of mica Forbes magazine’s collecting guide for 2005, with subtitles like “The Right Stuff,” was the top-selling marble in the Morphy Auction, “Through the Roof,” and “The Art of Grunge,” we get a peek into what direction March 2009 sale. buyers are laying out their huge fortunes. Eric Clapton’s favorite Fender Stratocaster, “Blackie,” fetched more than six times its high estimate of $150,000 at Christie’s. Namiki, lacquered fountain pens from the 1920s by the Japanese manufacturer, are going for astronomical amounts. The Namiki pictured went for $39,600 at a recent auction. Bloomsbury’s pens guru, Alexander Crum Ewing, says prices are soaring on these rare finds. Just a couple of years ago the same pen would have only brought about $11,000. Another hottie is the lure of early 20th century hand carved decoys by renowned artists like A. Elmer Crowell. Then there are marbles, some that go for as much as $20,500 bucks. The most sought after are from Germany, hand-made between 1870 and 1915. If the Art Deco style is your geometric cup-o-tea, be on the lookout for French master Andre Sornay, an otherwise unknown furniture maker of the 1920s that has been recently discovered. These pieces now command the likes of up to $150,000 for a dining room set that, five years ago, you would pass up at a garage sale. And the list goes on, even to include such sleuths as the zar of coin collecting, Jim Halpern. Self-admitted scoundrel and whiz kid since the age of 13, this rascal has to be known by every one of the estimated 130,000 coin collectors in America that trade approximately 3 billion dollars-worth of coins each year.

get away with murder by regrading coins (called “the crack-out game”). Lots of caveats are in order here. How about magazine collecting? A number one mad magazine was assessed at $50,000, so says it’s owner, the ominous Jim Halpern of coin flimflam fame. I, in my retro period, once owned the No. 1 and No. 2 Playboy magazines. At that time they were valued at about $5,000 and $2,300, respectfully. But that was 15 years ago, and I won’t bother to do any research on their value now because in a pinch I had to sell them. I’d shoot myself knowEric Clapton’s ing their value today. Please, Stratocaster by Fender don’t bother writing in with that info, thank you. “Never before has a single gold piece inspired such feverish desire among men or held such disastrous consequences. A rare look at the world’s most expensive coin.” The Forbes in-depth review on collecting, a 21 page cover feature, details these tendencies that for sure will drive buyers in ever growing numbers to shows like the Round Top Antiques Week. INC. Magazine, on the other hand, has recently featured such stories as the Lionel Train Dynasty and its importance in touching the life of just about every single kid in America for over a century. They also mention the recent court battle between that company and a relative newcomer, Mike Wolf. A prodigy of Lionel Trains, Wolf has built a company that makes far superior trains than his mentor. And for you guys, who (for years) have boasted that you really only buy Playboy for its articles, pick up the April 2004 edition and read The Curse of Double Eagle, written by Bryan Christy. This journalistic gem of a story details the FBI’s saga, dating back to 1933, when the alleged coins were minted, and then by presidential order, taken off the conveyers and melted back to bullion, due to a change in the gold standard. A quick-thinking employee is said to have snatched a few away before their final demise, continued on page 30 REMOTE OFFICE: 512-535-3705

BIG LEAGUE from page 29 thereby creating the coin’s desirability. One can only guess exactly how many he pocketed, but more intense then the search for Red October has been the quiet hunt to find those missing coins. Ultimately 11 were recovered and the case of the stolen government property was closed. Or was it? I won’t reveal the outcome so that you can go into the closet, look for that issue, and read it for yourself. It’s a must read, even if you aren’t into coins. Perfect example of cloak and dagger, back stabbing, conniving, stealing and justifiably why a novice should stay away
from this game. What these publications do assert is that collecting is a passion to many-and for many different reasons. To us in the business, it is all the more reason to do our A.

How to navigate the fields & shows with ease by Show Daily Staff
What better way to shop the labyrinth of tents and tables than with a pro who knows the ropes and a few insider tips and tricks? That is exactly what Show Daily is - the only guide to Texas’ most important antiques event, written by those who know the shows and love the antiques business. Follow us as we put some method to the madness and help you, dear reader, learn how to shop smart during Antiques Week. WHERE TO START?!? We hear that question all the time. The answer depends on what you are looking for. Crafts? Antiques? Food and Drinks? Live Music? The whole event area covers roughly 28 miles, starting from the towns of Rutersville and Fayetteville - to the south on Highway 159 - up through Burton on the north end of Highway 237 at the intersection with Hwy 290. That’s a lot of land to cover and most folks come out with only a few free days to enjoy all there is to shop, see and do. There just isn’t enough time to cover it all. Start by making a plan. Here’s how: First, as you look through Show Daily, understand that the magazine is color-coded into sections by towns. This will help you get around. The green bars at the top and bottom of the page are an indicator that the dealers listed here can be found in Warrenton. Red bars represent Round Top dealers, purple is for Fayetteville, Carmine is yellow and Burton is blue. After 20 years publishing, it is pretty safe to say that Show Daily has its finger on the pulse of what some call the biggest antiques fair in the U.S. Show Daily magazine starts with the town of Warrenton, which is where most of the earliest shopping begins. For a more polished look, some decorators prefer focusing on the Round Top area

and the paid admission venues. Both offer great and varied selections. The difference is often one of price and presentation. Do you collect old guns or Victorian jewelry? Maybe you’re looking for a place to park your RV or to unwind with a glass of wine? The answers to where these things - and a lot more - can be found right in the back of this magazine, in our Buyer’s Guide section. Simply take a peek under the heading of whatever you seek and you’ll find a list of dealers who specialize in those items or services, along with the page number where their ad appears and their Show Daily ID number - which matches the star number on their ad and location on the map (see centerfold). Start by using the color-coded bars to identify the town where those dealers with “the good stuff” set up. Warrenton alone has more than 30 individual show venues, most of which are called Fields. When the antiquers aren’t in town, our fields are full of country cattle. Show Daily has a big 8-page fold-out map at the centerfold. It pinpoints 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 continued on page 32

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 at the beginning of the magazine. 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 the published “official” dates on the calendar. Indoor venue dates are more exact.) Our Show Places section 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). 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? See our After-Hours notices. How about a place to do laundry or how to find someone to haul all those things that won’t fit in the SUV back home to Georgia for you? Check the Buyer’s Guide. Wondering how much that vintage gasoline sign might be worth? Or what is the hottest trend in collectibles? All of that information and more can be found within these pages.

Silver2Wear&More:
Carrying-On a Family Tradition
Kyla Goebel For Jeff Allmon, silverware provides more than just tools to eat with; the forks and spoons are an integral part of his life’s work. Eight years ago, Allmon took a leap of faith and left his steady paycheck behind to take his passion of making spoon jewelry on the road. Since then, his artistry has taken him across the country to festivals, antique shows and fairs. And every April and October he hitches up and heads to his second home at Zapp Hall. Allmon didn’t just happen upon the craft one day – it’s something that is in his blood. Following in the footsteps of his parents, Don & Patricia Bell, he has taken over the family business and strives to keep their spoon jewelry a priority. “A lot of people do this (make silverware jewelry). My parents taught me to go the extra mile; make it shinier or prettier. Make it look better. It’s the old school way of doing and making.” Allmon “Make each piece better than says, with a fondness in his voice as he speaks of the memories he others. Going the extra mile is shares with his step-dad, Don, in the shop working together. “My parents are my mentors. I learned most of this from them. And I more than just the jewelry; thank my parents every day for getting into this and teaching me,” it’s the way you live.” says Allmon. Allmon’s first time selling was on a Wednesday night during bike night. He set up a table, opened a beer, and started selling his wares. He remembers, “I thought I might be on to something. I started to make more things – and had to get a bigger table!” Like many great artists, Allmon’s designs aren’t always drawn out on paper ahead of time; it just comes to him as he goes. Aside from jewelry, Silver 2Wear&More also creates other pieces of art that you won’t find in any store. Windchimes, back-scratchers, bowls and vases - just to name a few. He takes pride in his creative ideas and likes to keep things interesting to help stay motivated. His most popular items? Without a delay he knows for sure - the hummingbird chime and bud vases. “I can’t keep up with them!” he says. One of his proudest accomplishments in his spoon jewelry career is instilling the love he has of the craft in his youngest daughter, Sara. “I’m quite proud of her for stepping up”, says Allmon. Together the duo create new and exciting pieces of art and make new memories traveling from place to place. Following in the footsteps of his parents, he’s been a vendor in Warrenton for several years now. “I always set up at Zapp Hall,” Allmon says. “It’s like a big family reunion each time; we spend time talking about shows and sharing stories from the road.”❏ Near the parking field, just beyond Warrenton’s OLD GIN (past fire station) Orders: Or O rrders: ders: 51 5 512-308-7443 12-308-744 12-3 30 08-7 74 443 4 43 4 3

Where’s The Beef?
Confessions of another failed collector: Michael White It’s not at all unusual to find out that the shiny nugget you found in an obscure corner of the attic is really fool’s gold. Collectibles can be like that. Many peak in value and then fade with time. Their ship has sailed. And then again, with time, they can come back into favor. Checking different sources can be frustrating, as they tend to contradict each other. Some conclude that the value of your mother’s Wedgewood China has tanked. Those vinyl albums you kept from your hippy days? They’ve lost their luster. Yes, there has been a resurgence in vinyl’s and turntables, but the records have been reissued and turntables upgraded to modern tech standards. The attraction of stamps, Beanie Babies, Cabbage Patch dolls, comic books, sports trading cards from the 80’s and 90’s - just to name a few popular items - have seen their value decrease quite a bit. My 40-year-old son has shoe boxes full of baseball cards, and nearly all of them are worthless. This is not to say that rare items in these categories like a 1985 Mark McGwire Topps baseball card rr classic treasures like a David Bowie – Diamond Dogs LP or Bob Dylan’s The Free Wheeling Bob Dylan do not fetch high prices. I have cases of my classic old albums from the late 60’s and 70’s…but I wrote my name all over the front of them, rendering them pretty much worthless; I guess my autograph doesn’t help their value after all! Many sources still sing the virtues of such hard to find gems. But they are exactly that…hard to find. It seems predicting future trends is best done in hindsight. Who would have thought manual typewriters would one day be in demand? These days all the old video games as well as other vintage electronics are becoming popular once again. Vintage cars, old advertising signage and unique items from World War I are being actively sought out.
REMOTE OFFICE: 512-535-3705
I guess the bottom line is this: collect for the fun of collecting - not for speculating. Look for particular items to complete or add to your growing collection. Look for undervalued items; unique items that please you. The market is fickle. Items marketed as “collectibles” often are not. Some say wait to buy collectibles; I say buy collectibles and wait. The search is the joy, and the thrill is in the hunt. ❏

Vintage Cigar Label Art Billy Shields
History seems to move in a circle, but seldom repeats itself. The swing music popular in the twenties has been reinvented, baseball is regaining its place as America’s premier sport, and cigars --as well as smoking-related memorabilia-have once again become a stylish if pungent accouterment to a good time. Fascination with cigar art is not a fluke. The quality of the vintage labels used to adorn cigar boxes is almost undisputed. A new art form stone lithography was just finding its range during the late-1800’s, and the timing for a cigar boom was perfect. Master German lithographers were coming to New York after being driven off by problems on the home front caused by the new regime of Otto von Bismarck. Not surprisingly, many famous U.S. lithography houses of the day had names like Voight, George Schlegel, Krueger, and Moehele. Similarly, master Cuban cigar makers were relocating to southern Florida to avoid being conscripted into the Spanish army during Cuba’s Ten Years War. By 1885 Key West was the 13th largest port in the United States, thanks largely to its proximity to Cuba. In order to compete, manufacturers needed to create visible, catchy packaging without using too many 700
23/37
words. After all, in just the United States over 55 percent of the public was illiterate. Cigar makers employed flamboyant label designs which, along with the use of stone lithography, attracted many customers. It may be the only time in history that fine art sprouted out of a lack of formal education. By 1870, cigars surpassed all other tobacco products in sales and were a relatively inexpensive status symbol. Large corporations and “mom-and-pop” operations alike spent indiscriminately on the ornate labels that would help bolster sales. In 1900, each design had an average start-up cost of $6,000 American dollars, and took a team of 12 highly skilled specialists a month to design. Despite these daunting figures, on a good day a crack team could churn out thousands of cigar labels. Art on the labels ranged from the bawdy to the sexy to the downright racist, but they all seem to have one thing in common: regardless of the themes they expressed, they were absolutely beautiful works of art. The more “forbidden” themes are often more valuable collector’s items. In the United States for example, there is always the risk that the sale of art employing “samboyish” images of black people will be outlawed just as buying or selling slave papers is currently illegal.

WARRENTON This makes labels with derogatory images of blacks (and there were a few) all the more coveted by collectors. Cigars with Jim Crow namesakes included Little Niggers, Nigger Head, Little Alabama Coons and Coon Skin, just to name a few. A tremendous number of labels depicted Native Americans, who first introduced the tradition of smoking tobacco to early settlers of the United States. Ironically, while some cigar companies could have had more taste in their depictions of black, they made Native Americans look proud and distinguished almost universally. This is an incredible disparity, especially when one considers that the ruthless destruction of many tribes in the American west was still going on through much of the cigar boom. Liberties companies took with these labels usually involved the brand names, Uwanta and Cheekawgo were both word games companies used to name stogies. The Cuban connection was another prominent influence in cigar label designs. The arrival of Cuban manufactures in Florida turned the U.S. cigar industry on its ear. They had a product that resembled the Cuban puro in every way except the price. These cigars, called “clear Havanas,” sold for two-thirds the amount-- causing some makers hailing from the northern United States to move their whole operations to places like Ybor City and Tampa just to compete. There are several labels partially or completely in Spanish from manufacturers in northern states. In fact, one U.S. cigar brand showed three U.S. Presidents Lincoln, Washington and Grant but had a Spanish name: Los Inmortales. Unfortunately, this period of beauty could not last forever. Labor-intensive and time consuming stone lithography made way for the cheaper and faster fourcolor photomechanical process. Also, cigarettes soon superseded cigars as the premier tobacco product, gaining a wide following among women, a market cigars never quite captured. The era of gorgeous cigar art had come to a definitive end by 1930. For economic reasons, it will probably never again be feasible for corREMOTE OFFICE: 512-535-3705

porations to produce cigar labels of equal or greater beauty. Collectors usually look for a combination of indicators when purchasing vintage cigar labels. Better cigar labels incorporate 10 or more colors. Those dating before 1880 often have visible crayon marks from the stone plate imprint, lithographers later used random stippling as a means of saving time. Also, many quality old labels used bronze or 24 karat gold leafing and were embossed. Embossed labels, which is the acid test of a quality label, are among the most sought after by collectors. An unintentional effect of the embossing process is that it retards aging. Paper that is not embossed has shorter fibers, making it more brittle. Embossing requires elongated fibers in the paper, expanding the life span of the label. It is not impossible to find brandnew looking embossed labels that are over a 100 years old. Modern labels have fine, uniform dots, blurred colors around shapes, and are rarely embossed. Printed on photomechanical off-set presses, they use only four colors as opposed to the ten or more colors often found in high quality, stone lithograph produced labels. Interest in collecting labels in Mexico is less feverish than in the United States, but there was a time when Mexico also had its own ornate array of lithographed labels from homegrown cigar brands. “It would be difficult to find them,” said Miguel Eschiavoni, who is in the Mexican cigar industry, “because Mexicans are not really that used to saving them.

tained a collecting tradition like there is in the United States.” Nonetheless, brands such as Balsa Hermanos from Veracruz created some beautiful lithographs around the turn of the century. One label, “Las Glorias de Colon,” (The Glories of Columbus) depicted the sailor as he set foot for the first time in the New World. Balsa Hermansos labels also used the aforementioned techniques of gold leafing and embossing. Historically, the Mexican labels have a story as well. One turn of the century brand, “El Buen Tono,” was actually started and maintained with French capital. Labels from this manufacturer, including one which depicts several angels, are among the more valuable from Mexico. Some hope the use of elaborate labels will mirror the renewed interest in fine cigars, and cigar makers will once again contract master lithographers for flamboyant masterpieces. While such optimists will almost certainly be disappointed, it may be a good thing that such advertising art is a thing of the past. The price of quality stogies would skyrocket beyond affordability for most aficionados. continued on page 47

Not surprisingly, the vast and varied array of regalia associated with cigars has become quite valuable. Fancy clippers, speciality lighters and the vintage sterling silver or tooled leather cigar cases are also popular items among collectors. Besides unused cigar-box labels, the often discarded paper rings that encircled the robustos of yesteryear also find themselves carefully framed and displayed in stylish living rooms from Dusseldorf to Durango. Cigar bands came out of a more utilitarian purpose. During the beginning of the 19th century cigar hawkers in Europe were passing off low-grade German and Dutch smokes as authentic (and more expensive) Cuban puros. To combat this early form of copyright infringement, a Dutchman working in the cigar industry in Havana came up with the paper rings as a way to discern the genuine article from imitations. For some reason, Europeans tend to concentrate more on bands than labels, and today there are modern rings made in Europe solely for the purpose of being framed. ❏

Payne’s Panes Kyla Goebel
As many great stories do, this one started in a pub. Decades ago, Cathy was working in a pub in the United Kingdom for a man named John Payne, who was the pub owner and a furniture buyer. John’s clients were seeking stained glass windows, so he set out to find them, traveling to flea markets in Amsterdam and Germany. He grew an appreciation for stained glass, and invited Cathy to travel to Florida with him for his new business. Who knew that John and Cathy Payne’s adventures would eventually bring them to Round Top, Texas? In 1986, John opened his first United States-based business in Ridgewood, New Jersey. He had previously been selling at antique shows in the north-eastern United States, so he already knew the market. Over a decade later, the business was still going strong. You could always find John and Cathy on a plane - flying back-andforth between the United Kingdom to the states - selling stained glass at antique shows. The couple decided to make a permanent move west, and opened a shop in Asheboro, North Carolina in the spring of 1999. In 2003, the Payne’s moved down the road to Pittsboro, North Carolina to open a new store front, which is the same building where they reside today. They split their time between running the store and traveling across the Country to antique shows; Florida, North Carolina,
Massachusetts, New York and Texas are some of the places they frequent. And depending on their schedule, they will often try to hit smaller festivals in between.

“We’ve been doing the Round Top Antiques Show for the past 10 – 12 years or so. We talked to someone at another show years ago and they told us we needed to get into this one,” says Payne. Meeting other vendors and new customers is a big perk to the lifestyle the Payne’s live. “We’ve met a lot of great people along the way,” she says. Both vendors and customers make their jobs fun. “You just take people as you find them.” When asked how they look for the right stained-glass windows, the Payne’s say it depends on the client. “Everything has a buyer,” is the couple’s motto. Cathy notes one of the hardest things about traveling from show to show with stained glass windows is the elements – you never really know what you’re going to get from Mother Nature for the spring antique show. “The wind is a big challenge” says Payne. “That, and hail.” But the Payne’s are no strangers to traveling, and they will once again come a long way to Texas with their panes. o

There was big money in “them there” store shelves Lou Christine
There’s a focus in this issue on collecting and collectors. I’ve expressed in one piece somewhere in this rag about pangs of guilt that occur within my innards for letting items slip away foolishly in my youth that I once possessed, that are now worth some serious coin. Show Daily is looking into this collector thing. That has me doing some investigating. The pangs of guilt have gotten worse! It seems that a Chinese-made, frivolous toy that my kids (or even my spoiled-rotten grandkids) talked me into buying in the past, which may have cost a mere 50-cent then, might now go for a whopping $50K. I kid you not, Johnson. I mean, while you and I were buzzing through Wal-Mart or Charlie the Grocers’, looking to score some smokes or Viagra, there was potential Oprah money sitting right in front of us, on store shelves or checkout counters…and for cheap! Don’t believe me? Garbage Pail Kids’ Cards are up to $3,000 each. 1978 Luke Skywalker Action Figure: $25K. PEZ dispensers as Mickey and Santa, yet, the 1982 Astronaut B. dispensed at the World’s Fair in Knoxville went on eBay for a cool $32K. Monopoly game sets in mint condition from the ‘40s, over $3K. Hot Wheels! Hot stuff-some for over a step on the gas $100K. Action Comics and Fisher Price Toys are highly sought after. Lionel Trains, Barbie Dolls, even Kens, Atari Cartridges and even Furby, a nothing of a cuddly thing, born 1998, can bring 900 bucks. 1989’s Game boy cashes in for a G-note. Hasbro’s Transformers bring more than a pretty penny and a couple more nickels if in the original box.

The Cedar Man Kyla Goebel
“The Cedar Man” was born three years ago, when Shane Boyd was hired to build a cedar pavilion in Dripping Springs. It was at that moment he realized how much he enjoyed the work, and others saw his true talent. A move to Fayette County took his cedar work from hobby to profession, coining him The Cedar Man title. Passing by his shop on Highway 159 with the windows down, you can smell the fresh cedar being milled. One of the most interesting aspects of his business is that he is there from start to finish. He cuts down his own trees locally and “limbs” them on the spot. “It’s relaxing,” says Boyd. “It’s hard work to most people, but for me it’s just life away from the fast lane.” Once he brings the trees back to his shop, he begins the milling and building process. “People will come to me with what they want, and I just take it from there. I never write anything down or draw anything out; I just build it how I see it in my mind,” says Boyd. Selling his work took a little push from Howard Konetzke, who convinced Boyd his creations were good enough. “He got me this shop here and told me to get to work!” explains Boyd. So he did. In three years, Boyd has built tables, chairs, beds – even tiny houses for customers. Each piece is a unique work of art, and he doesn’t cut corners. A table in progress in his shop has received over 20 coats of polyurethane so far and it’s not quite finished. He said his attention to detail is worth it to see his customers smile. Before becoming The Cedar Man, Boyd spent his
time riding bulls. At seven years old, his love for the sport took center stage, so he spent the next years of his life traveling to compete in rodeos. In 2008, his career came to an abrupt halt when he broke nearly every bone in his face after a riding accident. Although he did not compete in any other rodeos that year, he had still managed to earn enough points to become the 2009 WSPBR Reserve Champion – without ever riding in the finals. “I’ll get back into it,” says Boyd of bull riding. It’s the thrill of the ride that keeps him wanting more. “I’ve been doing it all my life it’s a part of me.” Until the day comes when Boyd gets back on the bull, he has plenty of projects to keep him busy. Aside from his building projects, he also does custom milling at his shop and tree service on the side. Along with this, he’s also working on a special project – a “She-Shed” made entirely of cedar with a screened-in porch. Boyd’s cedar work is true artistry; his projects portray his passion and craftsmanship. What began as a post-accident hobby has become a labor or love for The Cedar Man, Shane Boyd. o

William Spratling:
A story of the father of American silver Kyla Goebel To many silver jewelry enthusiasts, the name William Spratling carries the coveted title of “Father of Mexican Silver.,” and certainly carries it decades after his death. But the story of how he earned the designation took a winding and unexpected journey. After the deaths of his mother and sister, the New York native and his family made the move to Alabama. Years later, Spratling attended what is today known as Auburn University and focused his studies on Architecture. He spent several more years there as an instructor, and then moved to New Orleans where he taught at Tulane. Spratling authored several articles in numerous architecture and travel publications including Scribner’s Magazine and the Journal of the A.I.A. He could be found in New Orleans’s literary scene and
spent time with the likes of Natalie Scott, Sherwood Anderson and well-known author, William Faulkner. A trip to Mexico in 1926 changed Spratling’s life forever, as he realized his true calling. He was enamored with the culture and arts, and over the next few years, his efforts were spent promoting the art of Diego Rivera to many New York galleries. This led to his involvement in several other exhibitions that featured many talented artists – including his own drawings and illustrations. After learning of the silver mines in the Mexican city of Taxco, Spratling headed south and hired a silversmith to create his designs.

work gained popularity, he purchased a larger shop which employed over 100 craftsmen and artisans. The effects World War II had on trade between the United States and Europe were a benefit to Spratling, in that stores began to turn to him for the luxury goods they once received from Europe. This, along with word of Spratling’s talents, launched his business in Mexico and became a true gift to the Taxco economy. Spratling’s jewelry designs were representative of his appreciation of the Mexican culture. Lines of different dimensions adorn his pieces and add a deep contrast that is unique to his design. Some pieces even took on a mythical feel, with animals he his imagination created. His works were predominately made of silver mined from the Taxco area; however, gold, copper, bronze, amethyst and turquoise were all incorporated at different times during his career. His strong style slowly transformed over the years into more stylized and refined pieces, and then took on a new flare after working with Alaskan apprentices in the late 40’s and studying the new culture. The works of William Spratling are that of true artistry. Today, his pieces can be identified by the “WS” hallmark stamped on the back in various fashions. While his company continued on after his death in 1967, his original works are in greater demand. Field guides to recognizing authentic pieces are studied from cover-to-cover by true jewelry connoisseurs in hopes they will come upon one of the coveted pieces. Spratling’s artistry is something that cannot be overlooked or forgotten. o

The Art of Owning a Gallery Kyla Goebel
Gallery at Round Top serves as a cultural hub in a quaint town, housing over 100 different artist’s works. Husband and wife duo, Ken Muenzenmayer and Karen Vernon have spent the last 13 years adding to the rich arts culture of Round Top one painting at a time. Both Ken and Karen hold art degrees, and Karen was an accomplished artist at an early age. The two met at an outdoor art festival, and years later, helped grow an art gallery in Miami, Florida. When they moved back to Texas, rather than taking a much needed break, they were recruited to build yet another art gallery in their The rural location. Karen said they had planned to retire as “gentlemen farmers,” but instead they reluctantly agreed to take over The Gallery. Their vision for The Gallery has always been to create an inviting space for both the experienced art buyer, as well as for someone who has just popped-in while visiting Round Top. Since they have been in business, The Gallery has grown from housing seven different artists to close to 150. And they definitely don’t discriminate when it comes to the artists they showcase. While several artists from Texas are featured, the region is not a qualifying factor
The couple wanted to create an inviting atmosphere for regional and world class art, with a constant theme of color. They also strive to provide a price point that makes art readily available, offering original works and paintings for as low as $90. “We don’t want people to whisper when they come in. Art is essential to life. Essential to health. Overall, it should bring joy,” ex-
plains Vernon. Guests are encouraged to stop by The Gallery even if paintings aren’t what you’re necessarily going for. The store is home to several different art mediums including fiber art, pottery, handmade pillows, handmade candles, wood, sculptures, jewelry and glass. This broad selection follows along with the bright and colorful theme to match the art work on the walls. “We both love having people come in during the antique fair. And even when it’s not show time, we would love to have people just come in and discover us!” said Vernon. “We can sit with people and find out what they want and what they like. We have very established collectors that come in, but most people that come in here are just buying what they like and we want to validate that. That’s what art is all about .” o

The Compound Continues to Grow in Quality Ways Show Daily Staff
Since opening its doors in 2015, The Compound Antique Show has grown in size and stature. The show opened with three barns and a handful of premier dealers. Today, with the addition of 12,000+ more sq. ft. of exhibit space, and a large gazebo, the facilities host top quality dealers. Vendors include European antique furniture, fixtures and decor from French to English, and European and American mid-Century modern, and dealers in fine art, architectural treasures, estate jewelry, antique weapons, and linens, silver, and even gold doubloons and pieces of eight. All but The Compound’s Stables Barn are designated for antiques, while the Stables plays backdrop to both antiques, vintage, repurposed, artisan, and just a bit of new furniture and decor. Show producer/ director Kathy Johnston relates that she concentrates on creating an interesting and diverse mix of truly fine quality, no matter the genre, so that designers and shoppers, in general, receive a quality and enjoyable shopping experience. “We have a large designer following,” says Johnston, “so, it’s important for us to have a broad mix to satisfy the way these individuals wish to resource for their clients and projects. The antique weeks span miles of shopping opportunities. Our focus is to have The Compound a muststop on anyone’s itinerary.” The Compound, by design, is a different shopping experience entirely. Within the creative land plan by local Round Top owner/developer Mark Massey, The Compound’s big barns span 20+ acres and are connected with pathways, greenspace, and courtyards with fountains appointing the plazas between buildings. Visually, it’s a wonderful place to shop and stop, indigenous to its design. During the show that begins on March 23 and runs through the 6th of April, The Grove, with its picnic tables and
shady oak trees, and the Gazebo feature delicious food. Eateries include healthy choices, espresso, and sweet treats by always popular Simply D’Lish and Picnic on the Green, as well as BBQ by Teton Camp Creek. Vin 114 of La Grange keeps everyone in reach of fine wine and craft beer selections. For this show, music can be enjoyed from noon to 3:00 daily. A variety of groups and individuals perform everything from folk to country, and jazz. The offerings are as eclectic as the shopping experience. Two “later night” shops have become a Compound tradition. Each Wednesday of the show, the gates remain open until 7:00 with live music, cocktails and tasty nibbles available (from 4-7).

The Low-Down on Collecting Antique Dolls Show Daily Staff
Dolls have been beloved members of the family since the beginning of time. Thousands of years ago, dolls were made of corn husks, wood or clay. Over time, the materials and designs have evolved; from rag dolls, to porcelain China dolls, to today’s models made from rubber and plastic. Regardless of the material used, they are still loved by children and adults alike. The origins of the rag (cloth) doll can be traced back to the Roman Empire. These first dolls were hand made by sewing together old rags or fabric scraps. One of the most well-known rag dolls came years later in the early 1900’s. Illustrator Johnny Gruelle brought back to life an old doll after finding it in the attic at his Grandmother’s house. He added a fresh face of paint and two button eyes before giving the doll to his terminally-ill daughter. After she passed in 1916, Gruelle began to journal the stories he and his daughter shared and added some illustrations to the tales. Thus, Raggedy Ann was born. The doll was known for her characteristic painted face, yarn hair, dress, bloomers, and striped pants. Shortly after his stories of Raggedy Ann’s adventures were published, a childhood friend of Gruelle sent him a package with a boy rag doll that his own mother had made many years before. This doll was introduced in 1920 as Raggedy Ann’s brother, Andy. At the same time, across the ocean, the Kokeshi doll was gaining popularity in

Japanese culture. The Kokeshi Dolls were just as beloved, but very different from rag dolls. These Japanese wooden dolls are most notably recognized by their shape – similar to that of a spindle on a chair. Kokeshi dolls have no arms or legs, and are brightly painted with floral designs, reflecting the heritage of Japanese women. Originated in the 1800’s, it is thought that the Kokeshi dolls were probably introduced by farmers who remained inside during the long winters. At the time, they were thought to bring luck for bountiful harvests, and fertility to women. Tourists began taking note of these dolls – particularly during the World War II era when American soldiers’ wives and girlfriends discovered their charm, and their popularity grew quickly. Today, Kokeshi dolls are made in larger versions, and rather than toys for children, they are mostly collection pieces sought after by visiting tourists. Raggedy Ann Circa 1916 The popular Antique China doll was introduced in the 19th Century. The French and Germans took hold of the dollmaking reins, and honed-in on their crafts. While both Kokeshi Dolls Circa 19th century to early countries often used porcelain or bisque to make the dolls, their purposes were a bit different. Parisienne dolls, crafted by the French, were 20th century originally used to model high fashion designs. Parisienne dolls were traditionally clothed in luxurious materials like silk or velvet, and sported undergarments, shoes, and wigs made of real human hair. Dolls made by the German’s were less for luxury and more for enjoyment. Hundreds of dollmaking companies were in business throughout the country. One of the most wellknown companies, The Gebrüder Heubach factory, designed dolls with notably expressive faces. Some dolls were even made with whistles in their chests, known as “Whistling Jim” dolls. A Feast of True doll collectors employ a few tricks when trySight and ing to figure out a doll’s origins.

Captain Richard Ford:
Texas volunteer fireman at ground zero/9-11 Lou Christine
“Never Forget,” could be Richard Ford’s mantra. We’re talking 911, here! It was September of 2001 and the (then) recently retired Captain of the Houston Fire Department Richard Ford felt helpless. He was witnessing, from his Houston TV, the horror, the devastation, and the immediate aftermath at the World Trade Center in New York. Hearing Ford voice the moment with his rich Southeastern Texas accent, he clearly knew more than most the task at hand for the battered New York City Fire Department--how devastated they were with more than 300 of their own going down inside those buildings. Men like Ford just couldn’t sit back in Texas. He had to get there. “There were no flights due to the nation’s fleet being grounded, so I gathered my gear that I held onto since my retirement, and jumped on the bus!” remembers Ford. Three days later he arrived in the Big Apple, but the
bus company lost his gear. He approached ambulance drivers, getting as close to the site as he could to identify himself. Soon enough, the out-of-town fellow fireman was right in there, going through the rubble with New York’s finest, determined to fitfully recover remains of victims--especially the ones of their firefighting brethren. Ford says the recovery team erected a makeshift HQ right across from ground zero. It was located on Hudson Street within the ruins of a nearby office building with blown out windows. Texas-friendly Ford naturally assimilated with fellow firefighters, mostly New Yorkers, but many from across the nation. They never left the site; they slept in debris, in blown out doorways, on hard cement with maybe a tarp to cover themselves for warmth. According to Ford, the talent and skills employed by his brethren amazed him. No obstacle held them back to retrieve, and the “can do” spirit was contagious. One team leader, not realizing Ford wasn’t from

New York, ordered him to secure a big tent. You see, the debris was so thick with litter, errant concrete and bent steel it was nearly impossible lugging wheel barrels, concrete cutters, drills, and a slew of other gear to sift through the rubble. Ford, without resources, employed a fellow fireman to help him acquire the tent, thereby placing their HQ closer to the site. It’s impossible to properly describe what Ford had to witness while recovering the victims. Every kernel of decency and respect was afforded those souls in the mix. “I slept in litter and debris for two weeks.” Ford said. While he doesn’t grumble or bray about the effect of such, he can still bring back the stench of death and the immense sadness perpetuated by the horrific event. Yet the way Ford tells it, one senses a certain pride imbuing that duty called. The silver lining: He befriended and worked with great people, all hell-bent on doing what they could do. Not that they weren’t appreciated, but the volunteers were told it might be a good idea if they go home once mustered and organized teams were developed.

Ford seems like sort of fellow you might want to have in your lifeboat or foxhole. Later on, same as before, he hopped right to it, to another New . . . that time New Orleans just before Katrina hit. He’s no stranger to fires in California either. Like minutemen before and despite being retired now for almost 20 years Ford seems to stand ready if he can help. These days, in a more tranquil setting, Ford and his girlfriend, Jennifer Pierce, are honchoing the relatively new Old Town Market show, just across from the Cole Building in Warrenton. Pierce’s parents have set up in Warrenton for years. Pierce and Ford came to the conclusion they desired to have their own venue; the couple has strong feelings about the show. They look at their venue from a shopper’s perspective. Important to them is to provide clean and easy access restrooms, indoor showers, and offer good dealers a place they want to stay for years. More than anything, they desire a Café that will be dedicated to the memory of 911. Ford says he has a slew of memorabilia and photos he took. He wishes to share with those who will visit their Never Forget Café that will be situated in the 25,000 sq, ft. of selling space he’s renting to dealers for the Spring Show. He expects business to take care of itself by doing the right thing. At the same time, Ford will never forget. His easy cadence and deep voice dictates that he doesn’t want you to forget. He doesn’t want me to forget. He doesn’t want any full-blooded American to ever forget what took place on that horrible day. He reckons he won’t forget how his fellow Americans came from all parts of the nation, to lend a hand, to provide their expertise and compassion for the victims who perished that day. No doubt, Ford’s a businessman. But more than that, there’s no doubt, Ford’s a patriot. o SHOW DAILY OFFICE: 979-249-4149

My mother was the one who did all the cooking for church, funerals, showers, and for friends. Anytime someone needed a casserole, she would happily provide. She had a big heart and she was always taking in people who needed a mother
in one way or the other. I get my love of entertaining and hospitality from her.” says, Bonnie.

Stone Cellar/ Old DePOT The Hearbeat of Round Top Kyla Goebel Round Top is known for two things: antiques and a good time. You can get both at The Stone Cellar, known as “The Heartbeat of Round Top.” This venue keeps visitors entertained with beautiful antiques, delicious wood-fired pizza, a great wine and beer selection, and musical guests every Friday and Saturday night. Owner Jon Perez arrived in Round Top over 15 years ago, after living life as a successful business man in Houston. “Before moving here (Round Top), I was looking on the other side of the county around Flatonia for land; that’s where all of my rodeo buddies were so I was familiar with the area.” With his brother and mother-in-law having local ties, he decided he liked it here. After making the big move, he began helping the previous owners of The Stone Cellar with their business. “I was the eyes and ears for them,” he said. “Two-and-a-half years in, they didn’t want to do it anymore. I had worked in the restaurant business from 1990 to 1994 but I swore I would never do it again...I always told my brother to shoot me if I ever threatened to get back into the business,” he joked.
Thankfully he ignored his reservations and decided to take on the adventure. The restaurant was better-than-ever, but the lease in the building on Bybee Square was coming to an end. The owner of the Old Depot knew he was interested in the property, and after the completion of the antiques show, they made a deal. In August of 2014, The Stone Cellar debuted in its new and improved location on North Washington Street, just a quarter mile down from the square. The move to the Old Depot meant more than just a different address; it was a chance to start from a clean slate, to fulfill the dream of bringing something big to a small town. The move meant a different business plan. The restaurant would keep going, but the old dance hall on the property needed a change. The wooden floors and walls with carefully-placed windows to catch those summer breezes are guaranteed to hold years of secrets and stories. Voted as one of Texas’ top 10 dance halls in the state, the 1907-building has a certain charm that takes you back. Previously located in Wesley, Texas, the prior owner of the prop-
erty moved it to Round Top over 20 years ago and utilized it as vendor space during the spring and fall antique shows. Since taking over in 2014, Perez has taken special care of the hall; it is once again filled with dancers and concert-goers. “I told my general manager ‘we’re going to be a destination entertainment venue’”, said Perez. Talent to the likes of Asleep at the Wheel and Gary P. Nunn have performed to sold-out crowds. And that’s not all – the hall has played hosts to several couples celebrating their nuptials as well. Today, The Stone Cellar keeps guests coming back thanks to the continued on page 80

delicious pizza and refreshing beverages. The woodfired pizza is one-of-a-kind, and Perez wanted to enhance it to perfection. “I took our pizza recipe to four different commissaries until one of them could refine it. We make our sauce from scratch. We use nothing but premium ingredients,” said Perez. In addition to the pizzas, the new location called for an updated menu featuring nachos, salads and sandwiches. The beverage selection is about ninety-five percent Texas-made, and Perez has distributors keep him abreast of what is coming in and out of Austin. Behind the bar sits a tap with 25 different beer selections ranging from the well-loved Shiner beer to more unique brews like Rocket Fuel - Vietnamese Coffee Porter. Patrons are also encouraged to select their own bottle from an extensive wine collection and enjoy while listening to the musical entertainment. Perez’s secret Sangria recipe and peach Bellini’s ensure guests remain satisfied. And let’s not forget about the atmosphere – the pub’s wrap-around porch and huge sliding doors are perfect for those warm Texas nights. During the antique show, the Stone Cellar is known

for more than just the food and music. The property houses over 30 dealers in the front parking lot and pavilion. Although there aren’t any specific types of dealers, the authenticity is of utmost importance. “I don’t allow replicated items or stuff made in China. We like handmade furniture, artesian craftwork, handmade jewelry. My really big one out in the front is really popular with the recycled signs out in the front,” said Perez. “Dealers from Philadelphia, New York, just all over come and set up here both weeks.” The back of the property has over 40 RV spots for both dealers and guests – but spots are filling up. “We’re already booked solid for one of the weeks,” said Jon. “I think this is

going to be a good show because people are jumping on these spots a lot earlier than they usually do.” The annual send-off concerts will be held the last Friday and Saturday of the show – but this year with a new twist. The popular Black Cat Choir always performs those nights, but this year they will be performing on Friday. On Saturday night, Perez booked Easy Money out of Houston, which he said is a great band that’s been together over 20 years. Whether you visit during the antique show or just a weekend out, you’ll find The Stone Cellar is more than just a pub or music venue, it’s a little piece of Round Top’s legacy. ❏

Bediko’s Folk Art Master Turned Hotelier Kyla Goebel
Kwaku and Barbara Bediko planted roots in Warrenton over fifteen years ago. Since then, they have watched Bediko’s Fine Art grow into more than they could have ever imagined. What started out as a few wooden sculptures was transformed overnight into a presence at Chuy’s Restaurants--a well-known food chain across America. Roberto Alvarado, the editor of Show Daily Magazine, was the first person to introduce me to Bediko’s work. I had passed by his property several times, but never in my dreams would I have imagined the interesting story that awaits behind those metal tulips and crazy sculptures! Alvarado has known Kwaku for going on 35 years. He spoke of their crazy adventures in Austin “goin’ junkin” together with fondness. “I had my camper and he had his old pie wagon. We would go to the Citywide sale in Austin.” The two met through a mutual friend, Mitchell Edwards, after he brought Kwaku to Roberto’s glass shop. The rest is history. Alvarado describes his friend as a character and a hard worker. “He always had scarred and burnt hands from working and welding. I always told him he needed to wear gloves but he never would. Said he wouldn’t be able to feel the beads.” Years later, both men are now living near Warrenton – an act that happened separately, but simultaneously; Alvarado here with the Show Daily Magazine and Kwaku with his metal art and sculptures. I decided I had to meet Kwaku, so I called Bediko’s and was introduced to Kwaku’s wife, Barbara. She explained to me how she and Kwaku met in elementary school in Houston. When she spoke of her husband and his artwork you could hear the awe in her voice. “It all just comes naturally to him,” she said. “He’s never been to art school, you know? He’s a metal sculptor and wood carver. He sculpts in stone, paints, and he can cook too. Just an overall artist.” Originally, the New Orleans native started selling wooden sculptures at his tent in Warrenton. The couple, who resided in Houston at the time, came to the show for 16 years before

making a permanent move to Warrenton in 2004. He tells of the day he decided metal would be his next medium like it was yesterday. “I was set up in Warrenton selling my sculptures. A lady saw one of my pieces and she was really gung-ho about it all. But her husband told her they weren’t going to get it because it would rot. I immediately went to a pawn shop and bought a welder (to begin crafting metal).” Within a few months, Bediko had gotten the hang of his new metal craft. He began working on his art pieces and honing-in on his unique style. One of his most notable creations – his metal coconut trees – can be found across the United States in Chuy’s Restaurants. This international fame originated from Kwaku’s booth at the Warrenton Antique Show. “I was set up in my spot and a guy wanted two big tiki heads. His name was John Zap. John asked if I could bring the heads to him, and the next time we were in Austin and he would take us to dinner,” said Kwaku. “We were in the restaurant and I looked around at all the antiques and started thinking about my trees. I told him I had something for him that would put him on the map. He called me a year-and-ahalf later.” Today, Kwaku’s trees “shade” diners as they eat at over 100 Chuy’s Restaurants across 19 states. This year, Kwaku and Barbara are opening a bed & breakfast, “Bediko’s International Hostel.” The hostel has four buildings available that will accommodate up to 14 guests. At the grand opening on March 25, guests will get another rare treat: Kwaku will be unveiling a special commissioned piece he’s been working on – a metal-sculptured bat with a 10-foot wing span. Kwaku says his artwork is rarely planned. “Most of the stuff comes from my own inspiration. I see it afterwards and REMOTE OFFICE: 512-535-3705

decide if I like it. It’s not a blueprint, it’s just from one inspiration to the next. But that’s how it is in life just to be able to do anything. The name of the game is ‘just get started.’ Like a baby walking. One step, then the next and another. And then they’re actually walking. It’s the same thing.” Bediko’s Fine Art is a rare treat and a definite “must” when heading to the antique shows. Each piece has a unique story of its creation. Kwaku and Barbara share a warm friendliness about them that makes you feel very welcome. They hold a definite sense of pride in Kwaku’s creations that is a testament to him truly living out his passion in Warrenton. ❏

A Chili Story – The Round Top Family Library’s Annual Chili Cook-Off Kyla Goebel
For the past decade-and-a-half, locals and visitors alike have flocked to Round Top for the library’s annual cook-off held in January. Hours are spent perfecting chili recipes in hopes of leaving with not only the top prize, but the small-town bragging rights that go along with the victory. This year’s annual Round Top Family Library’s event marks its 15th consecutive year. The cook-off began in 2005 by Cheryl Dergins and Wendy Beaver, and was held in Round Top’s town square with 10 teams participating. “In a few short years it became a major social event for the area,” said Susan Ellis, the event’s current Chairman. Since then, the location has bounce around from the town square to the Old Depot, now known as the Stone Cellar. Over the years, the cook-off has continued to gain momentum, sometimes hosting over 30 teams! “It is a non-sanctioned event, meaning that ‘anything goes’ for the chili, and it does not have to be cooked on site,” says Ellis. And chili isn’t the only thing guests are treated to – teams bring an assortment of sides and samplers to go along with their chili. Cornbread, crackers, Photo courtesy of ilovetoread.org and even hot dogs are served with the chili. It truly is an event where Photo of Round Top Family Library Photo credits: Valerie Hinze creativity trumps all. One of the best – and most unique - parts about the cook-off is the crowd involvement. A ticket to the cook-off gives you the chance to sample each team’s chili and vote for your favorite recipes. There is a live auction and silent auction, and live music performances. There is no entry fee for the teams, who are asked to donate a silent auction item instead. Judges award the 1st,2nd, and 3rd place prizes, as well as the Battle of the Classes contest between the Junior and Senior RTC High School students. Ballots are cast for the crowd’s favorite chili recipe, as well as for the Showmanship award – which is based on the team’s decorations and set-up. The Golden and Silver Spoon awards are also given out to the teams that raise the most money for the library. All proceeds raised go to the Round Top Family Library. “My favorite part about the chili cook off is the people that care so much about their community and the Library,” says Emily Siemsglusz, a yearly cook-off competitor. “The library does so much for the community and it’s amazing to see everyone coming together; giving their time and talents to give back to the library. And, of course, the friendly competition. You never know what the judge’s taste buds are going to say!” This year’s top winner is no stranger to victory – Round Top Real Estate “Chili Chicks” took home the 1st place Judge’s

Choice, making this the fourth consecutive year to take home a prize.

Pop-A-Top Bottle Shop
The First Liquor Store Hand Picked to Open in Round Top Show Daily Staff The magical puzzle that forms the antiques weeks in Round Top doesn’t pop out of a hat…it comes by a carefully orchestrated design. The newest owners of Pop-A-Top Bottle Shop in La Grange were more than willing to be the first liquor store to open in Henkel Square--Pop-A-Top Bottle Shop Too—with the agreement that they will be a destination, and not just a store. But this place is like no liquor store you’ve ever seen. It is a warm, inviting liquor lodge that’s as appealing as it is convenient. “Mark (Massey) and I had the same vision for this concept, so when he asked us to open a store at Henkel Square, we were all in.” said Tiffany Reid, co-owner of Pop-A-Top Bottle Shop in La Grange. “We will have a Scotch/Whiskey/Bourbon Room, a Wine Room, a large cigar humidor, a place for everyone to feel welcome to browse for anything they need.” In addition, the store is all-inclusive, meaning supplies like glasses, set ups, and everything you need to enjoy your beverage at Henkel Square can be found inside Pop-A-Top Bottle Shop Too. Since acquiring ownership of Pop-A-Top Bottle Shop In La Grange last year, Tiffany and her husband Britt have been planning their new location while updating the La Grange shop with new counters, shelving, and paint. As flood victims from Hurricane Harvey in 2017, the Reid’s were able to salvage their (then) newly installed granite countertops from the flooded home, along with other prized possessions, to build a new business and a new life. It is bittersweet for the couple to have these remembered pieces of their tragedy adorn the new location. “Britt made these shelves. We have an old phone booth that he completely restored. To have some of this back is awesome for us and for our kids,” says Tiffany. “We lost so much. Now we are getting to have it again like new.” Pop-A-Top Bottle Shop Too will be open on Wed.-Sat. through February. Show date times will be Mon.-Sat., 10 am to 9 pm.

Perez Imports A Family Business by Kyla Goebel The United States of America is the home of the free and the land of opportunities. Luis Perez, his wife and six children, have found themselves right where they need to be - the small, but tourist-attracting town, of Round Top. Perez has always had roots tied to Texas thanks to his mother, a George West, Texas native. His life changed after deciding one day to make a move to Houston and start his own business. After happening upon the Round Top – Warrenton Spring Antique Show, he knew this was where his art and design needed to be showcased. To his delight, his hand-crafted stone fountains and rustic furniture were a hit! Perez packed up his family and they moved to Carmine, Texas, where they now own and operate their own business. Having heart in the business seems to run in the Perez Family. Both of Luis’ sons, Elvis and Adrian, handle much of the wood-working side of Perez Imports. “My favorite thing is creating a table or bed frame with feeling, making it something unique,” said Elvis. Most of the Woodwork is done in Texas by the Perez Family themselves. While on those trips south to pick up wood or stone fountains, Elvis is tasked with also bringing back palm leaves from Tampico, Mexico. The palm tree boughs are used to thatch their eye-catching palapas - open-sided structures that they build using Texas cedar for the main frame. An example of one of the family’s large palapas can be seen at the Perez Imports outlet, located right in the Find us at the show area on Hwy 237, just south of Carmine.

My Long Journey To Antiques BIll Moore How did I enter into the world of antiques? It’s a long story, but let’s face it, you haven’t got anything better to do or you would be doing it. So, get comfortable, have a drink, and read on. It started with my sister, two years older than me, not quite as good looking as me, but not bad. Anyway, she and her hubby were going to an antique auction one night and said to come along. I consulted my calendar and as luck would have it, I was free that evening, there wasn’t anything good on TV. I was 30 years old and it was the beginning of a 40 plus year adventure. That night I purchased my first antique--a deskbookcase combination that had the door to the desk broken off and some other small items wrong with it. I fixed it, sold it, and was thrilled. From that night on I attended every antique auction I could. One night after an auction, I ventured out to the dumpster and sifted around through the trash. I found an auction list they had thrown out. Probably broke the law doing it, but it gave me an idea of what they paid for each item. I was astounded at the container from England, and they paid about 25 percent of what it sold for here. I was hooked, I had to go to England. The trip to England was my first. I landed in London, rented a car and headed out--on the wrong side of the road! After some very rude people honked and said some very rude words at me, I quickly moved the vehicle to the other side of the road (apparently these folks had not received word that this was the wrong side) and continued down the road. I looked up the address of a couple of wholesale
REMOTE OFFICE: 512-535-3705
antique dealers on the Internet and decided this was where I would start my search. The first one was about twenty miles out of London. I was very excited upon entering and quickly lost my enthusiasm. Prices were almost as they were at home. Ok, I thought, don’t get discouraged…probably too nice a place, got to look for a less fancy place. The next one was certainly not as fancy, but still too much money. I noticed a truck unloading in the back and checked it out. All the pieces were from up north. Obviously, things were cheaper up there, that’s where these guys shopped. I headed up north. In York (about four hours north of London), I decided to stop and check things out. Prices were about half as much as London. A dealer told me things were even cheaper up in Scotland. I headed north. He was right; Scotland was where I wanted to be. I bought enough to fill a couple of 40-foot containers. I was a European wholesaler. Things were going along just fine when I met a guy who buys on the European continent. He told me of deals that were better than my English ones. “Why don’t you come over and look around? I’ll help you and it won’t cost you much”. He offered. What the heck? I might as well. I headed over to the mainland, and he was right, it was great. Well to make a short story out of it, it was good, unfortunately the person that told me of it died, but by then I had established enough contacts there of my own to carry on. And there you have it. If you want to be a big successful antique dealer, all you have to do is follow those steps and carefully do the opposite.

Bandit was Singleton’s trusty sidekick when they took his vintage lighting on the road. “Wal-Mart never had a better greeter.

The Little Gin That Could Steph Jarvis Can you say a building watches over a community? Well, I think it can and I know one that does. These days in a part of Texas where most people don’t naturally think “cotton,” sits a building whose history was dependent on it. The 1914 Burton Farmers Gin is in little Burton, Texas, population 300. I am proud to say that it’s preservation is part of my job every day. As museum director at the Texas Cotton Gin Museum, I help care for the gin along with one fellow staff member and some great volunteers. With the gin as our amazing tool, we share its history and connection with the larger story of cotton in our state and across the United States (and really the world). But I get ahead of myself as I often do. First let me backtrack and share some of its history.

From the late 1800s onward here in central Texas, cotton gins were in every little community. Often there were several gins in one place, as is the case for Burton. In 1913, there was enough cotton being grown that the two existing gins in town weren’t enough and a third was planned by a group of German farmers. Aug. 3, 1914, Burton Farmers Gin opened for business and operated until the ginning season of 1974. So for 60 years, the gin was a central part of the community and outlasted all other gins in town. And in fact, thanks to a revival in 1986, it’s outlasted even more “Burton Farmers Gin is now the than that. It’s truly one of a kind in the United oldest operating cotton gin in the country.” States. Because of its unique situation of being in its original location, having its original ginning equipment, and being run by the largest engine of its age and type, it is now the oldest operating cotton gin in the country. The gin is run at least twice a year with the most activity being at our annual festival where 3 or 4 bales are ginned in the same way they were for 60 years. So after 104 years, this building is still doing what it was built to do. What an amazing feat! And while the gin doesn’t operate commercially, I would venture to say it operates for a “higher” purpose. It offers both its body and soul on a daily basis for the purpose of history and to share the story of cotton and ginning for future generations. Over the course of the year, we have about 6,000 total visitors come through the museum and grounds to experience this history. Along with the preservation of the gin itself, I am always thinking about how we can best pre- serve the history and share it with our visitors. And as is true for so many museums these days, finding the best ways to do this can be quite challenging. So I take a walk through the gin and think. Really, what better source of inspiration is there than the gin itself with its hearty cypress beams and corrugated tin panels? And as I walk through the gin, my mind wanders not only to all those who worked there but also to all the families and people who picked the cot- ton that was brought here. My grandma, Dorothy Landua Schulenberg, was one of them. She and her family were paid to pick the cotton grown by their neighbors and it was part of what she did to help her family. One of the saddest things for me is that I never asked her many of the questions I would now, partly because I didn’t even know what to ask at the time. But each time I visit with folks and mention my grandma, I share what I do know — that she was a part of the cotton history of this area. One of the things that helps me quiet that sadness is to remind myself of what I can do. Every day I try my best to keep this history alive, and by doing that I am honoring her memory and the memories of many others. And I feel blessed to have this chance.

Sisters Stitched Together Kyla Goebel The Texas Quilt barn is a relatively new addition to Fayette County, opened full time in August of 2018, by sisters Kerry Spiers and Joy Draughon. For the sisters, quilting has always been a family affair. “I spent a lot of time with our Grandmother growing up and I learned from her how to hand quilt,â€? said Joy. “In college I received a machine quilter and I learned to machine quilt after that. After retirement my mom took it up as well.â€? In 2011, Joy and her mom convinced Kerry to tag-along to a state-wide “Shop Hopâ€?, Quilt Across Texas. For 15 days the trio covered 4,025 miles and visited 66 quilt shops perfecting – and for Kerry, learning – the art. After their trek across the nation, Kerry and Joy continued to hone their craft. Joy began teaching classes LQ 7HQQHVVHH DQG VHOOLQJ WKH QHFHVVDU\ VXSSOLHV WKDW VKH QHHGHG IRU KHU VWXGHQWV 2YHU WLPH VKH EHJDQ EX\LQJ more, and she knew she needed a place she could call her own to host these classes. “I always joked about having my own shop, and then one day Kerry just said let’s do it,â€? said Joy. The Texas Quilt Barn began as an online store housed in Tennessee, where Joy lives full-time. In the meantime, Kerry was taking care of details and ironing out logistics in Texas. The Texas store opened as a pop-up shop from February through August, and then opened full time on August 25, 2018. The Texas Quilt Barn is more than just a showroom, it’s an interactive space for anyone from beginner to expert quilters. “We cross both skill levels,â€? said Joy. “I’ve been quilting for several years so I’m considered an expert level and she is considered a beginner. We’re able to talk and relate to people of all ages and really meet them where they are.â€? There is a wide range within the quilting industry – from hand-quilting, to machine-quilting, to the designs – and all the supplies you need are right there, along with a beautiful fabric selection. Kerry said the sisters only buy what they like. “When people come in a lot of times we hear how it’s such a cute shop,â€? said Kerry. “We’re not modern, we’re more traditional because of the style and designs, but with bright and happy colors.â€? The sisters say the best way to get into quilting is to take classes and to surround yourself with the local community of quilters. According to Joy, there are so many great groups in this area of La Grange and so many SRVLWLYH LQĂ XHQFHV EHFDXVH RI WKH 7H[DV 4XLOW 0XVHXP 7KH VLVWHUV RIIHU SHUVRQDO DQG JURXS OHVVRQV DQG FDQ WDLORU Ă€W WKHP WR DQ\RQH¡V VNLOO OHYHO “First you have to learn all the rules.

Six shops in the area will be participating in the event, where guests receive a passport and must get it stamped at each location to be entered in to win a grand prize.

Appreciator-Purveyor-Collector-Dealer? Lou Christine Harrell Hough shows at The Big Red Barn during the Spring and Autumn shows. The San Antonian, reared in Mississippi, is known to be amicable, seasoned, knowledgeable, and he loves making deals. As a youth, he was outgoing and ambitious while quick on the uptake. Starting at around 10 years-old, Hough perched outside what in their time were elegant southern mansions that became museums. These museums featured household items coined “antebellumâ€? (pre-Civil-War). Even at his tender age, Hough was eager for action. He had already eavesdropped on the tour guides, memorizing dates, tidbits, and buzzwords about the contents of those relics of the past.

A Connection through Collection Kyla Goebel I’m not a collector of any sorts. In fact, it’s quite the opposite; I’m a tosser. The only real thing that I “collectâ€? is dust on my bookshelves.

But is there something ,¡P PLVVLQJ RXW RQ" :KDW LV LW DERXW Ă€QGLQJ WULQNHWV ZLWK VLPLODULWLHV WKDW SHRSOH Ă€QG VR DSSHDOLQJ" , PXVW admit, the thought of traveling across the nation, the ZRUOG HYHQ ORRNLQJ IRU RQH VSHFLĂ€F LWHP VHHPV WR Ă€UH XS WKH ZDQGHUOXVW LQ PH &RXOG FROOHFWLQJ EH D way to escape from the mundane tasks of everyday living? It seems to me, the collecting “bugâ€? is one that is hard to get rid of. Just ask Charlie Vincent and Susan Toomey Frost.

collections. Whether it be one of her 10,000 stories covering the Austrian-Hungarian empire, her ornate San Jose tiles, or beautiful postcards of Mexican photography captured by the likes of Hugo Brehme, Mauricio Yanez or Manuel Alvarez Bravo, just to name a few. Collecting is more than just gathering things with similarities. It’s about diving deep into the culture of the piece and gaining a true appreciation for where it came from and how it got here. Charlie Vincent and Susan Toomey Frost live seemingly opposite lives. But there’s a connection that brings them together - a connection through collection. R 566 2/37

Kyla Goebel Hi! I’m Kyla. I’m a wife, mama and Realtor.

In 2016 I became a licensed Realtor and have worked for RE/MAX Advantage ever since. I specialize in Washington, Fayette and Austin Counties and absolutely love what I do! Early mornings and [some] of my late nights are spent eating dry cereal out of the box and unwinding with some nice, trashy TV. I also love to write! I chronical the mom life on my blog, The Natural-ish Mama where I talk about trying to keep things in the home as natural as possible‌most of the time. I use oils, eat clean, make our own baby food & cloth diaper.

All while having the entire house cleaned, laundry done, and healthy meals made by our live-in maid. But alas, I get up before anyone else, make my own coffee and breakfast, sometimes squeeze in a run/walk (I live in Texas so we don’t get 77 degree days; it’s either 99 or 45), and I am the maid. But I absolutely love it and wouldn’t change a thing! I recently started writing for Show Daily magazine and have loved getting the opportunity to meet different artesian that come to the show.

Claudia Torres A little bit about me. As you will see in the next couple of lines. I am not a writer. So why am I even writing this, well for starters I woke up one morning to an email from my boss saying I needed to do this. Well here I am breaking my head on how to even start. Can you imagine having everything in life? The best car, clothes, house, being able to shop without checking your bank account. Yea, well that is totally not my life. I kind of wish it was but it’s not. My life is not exciting at all but in the next couple of paragraphs I can pretty much sum it up for you. I have lived in La Grange for 23 years and love this amazing little town. There’s not much to do here but for some reason I love it anyway. Maybe I love the fact that everyone knows you. I had to grow up sooner than most kids my age. With my parents working all the time it was up to me to help out with my younger brothers. Seeing my parents work so hard made me have so much respect towards them. I graduated from La Grange Highschool back in 2009. Towards the end of my sophomore year I started waitressing at La Marina. For some odd reason I loved being at that place. Little did I know that early on in my senior year(08) I would meet my now husband Miguel. Not too long after we decided to get married and start our family. Many people always say that we should have waited a couple of years, but in some odd way it just felt like the timing was correct. Everything used to be about me back in the day, but with a family everything is about them now. I no longer get sleep or time to myself as I’m sure many of you know how life goes after kids. Most of my days start out with me going to the gym as early as possible mostly by 2:30 am. If it’s not done early I will never be able to get a workout in. I have my 9yr old son Yair, 5yr old Lesly, 4yr old Alexa and 2yr old Lilia. As you can imagine my days are, for the most part extremely busy. There is no stopping to do anything not even breathe. So I decided to incorporate Show Daily into my already busy schedule. Working here has been an amazing journey. This is the 1st issue that I help out with and I actually feel like a pro at this point. I hope to keep learning so much more and I hope that I can continue to be a part of this magazine for years to come.
Mike White I was born and raised in Houston. Went to Memorial High School. Graduated from the University of Houston with a BA in English, Creative Writing, and a touch of Psychology. Through High School and College, I was in several Rock Bands, Loose Ends, Glass Kans (business card read “For a Wild Timeâ€?), Michael and Spatz. Good times. Real good times. Recorded some singles and ½ an album. These are very rare now, as nobody bought ‘em! Married my High School sweetheart and started a family, two boys. Both were State Football Champions from Katy High School. They both graduated from Baylor University. At the time, my bumper sticker read “Both my Boys and all my money go to Baylor Uâ€? Music played out, so I wound up in the Insurance Business for 35 years. Had some fun, made some money. We have owned property in La Grange for 40 years and loved going there every weekend we could. We loved it so much, we built our dream home and retired there full time about 3 years ago. I do a little writing now, and work part time at the local golf course so I can play twice a week. I “workâ€? our land and collect scars and trips to the emergency room from being a dumbass with all the new tools. We love the area, the people, the pace of life. Now, my bumper sticker reads “I am spending my children’s Inheritance!â€?
