Thank You, Romantic Country Magazine!

I always love working with Fifi O' Neill 

at Romantic Country Magazine. 

And I love photographing all my good friends 

at Fredericksburg Trade Days. 

So it was a perfect marriage of beautiful creativity 

when Fifi wanted to publish a photo of Trade Days 

in RC's "Best of The Fleas" feature 

in the Fall issue!

Above is the photo that made the magazine, 

from Lori Allen of Lori Allen Designs. 

Her space is a complete oasis of beauty.

A few more photos from Lori's Trade Days space....

Although the top photo from Lori's space was the one

chosen for the issue, I wanted to include

others from the same shoot.

Below is my sweet friend Hollie.

Hollie Fairchild just opened a FAB shop  

here in Fredericksburg  called Farm Haus. 

It's the stuff vintage dreams are made of.

And below are the sweet sisters from ReDid.... 

 All these gals are located in Barn 0 at 

Fredericksburg Trade Days, 

and no matter the distance, you owe it 

to yourself to visit only one of the best 

little fleas anywhere!

Next few show dates:

August 14-16

September 18-20

October 16-18

355 Sunday Farms Road

Fredericksburg, TX 78624

And if you're in the area, 

give me a shout! I'd love to leet up 

with my blogger and Facebook buddies.

The One-Eyed Pup

Her gait is much slower than it used to be. 

Climbing and going down the back steps takes her 

a whole lot longer than it once did. 

She lost her right eye in a scuffle with another pup 

a few years back.

And we noticed only recently when we were calling her, 

that she is beginning to go deaf. 

Yep.

Getting old ain't for sissies.

She's about 12 years old, which makes her 

and old lady in Husky years. 

But her heart? 

Her precious, sweet, generous heart 

is as young and full of love as it ever was. 

Have you seen the bumper sticker or magnet 

which says 

"Lord, help me to be the person my dog thinks I am." 

That pretty much sums it up.

All she has ever asked for is food and love. 

And she has given us so, so much more in return. 

My heart is going to break in a thousand different ways 

after she leaves this earthly plane. 

I've never known such unconditional and unselfish love 

as I have received from this old gal.

Always smiling, always happy to see me, 

always winking at me with that one beautiful blue eye.... 

Thank you for sharing your life with us, Belle.  

And I hope with my whole heart that  

I've always been the sort of person  

that you think I am.
