We both got too big for half a booth, but for several years still did many of the same shows. Dell and Leitha named their business Tejas Trade.
This past week I attended the grand opening of Tejas Trade. The store is located in downtown Texarkana, Texas in a cute little red brick building.

They've stocked it with clothing, some of Leitha's original art, and their jewelry.
The store was so packed with people when I got there that I had to wait until things were almost over to take any pictures.
Leitha's son Patrick manned the bar. This table will be their work table during store hours.
Leitha makes these horn cuffs and bangles. I tried on every one of them but I have a small wrist and they were all a little big. I love them.
This is my favorite one. It has turquoise embedded in the fissures.
This building was a wreck when they rented it. They did all the restoration themselves. They did a fantastic job!
And I did do a little Christmas shopping while I was there. Shhhhh--don't tell.

Oh, what a dream come true! I think we all dream of opening a shop one day. I wish I lived in the area...What fun! Thanks for dropping by and looking at my dress form, I am actually having a giveaway for a dress form, the post will go up tomorrow, hope you can stop back, if you won you could alter it for the shop to display jewelry!
