Texas Wine Country !!

I guess you think of France, Italy, Germany, Argentina, or California as the meccas for good wine. And I do love their wines!!
But, I was surprised to learn that Texas is the 5th largest wine producer in the U.S.A.  The town of Fredericksburg in the Texas Hill Country for years has been know for it's wine festivals and tasting events. Also big is the limousine wine tour for bachelorette parties, girls night out, birthdays, and anniversary parties.  Brenham Texas has an annual wine stomping event. But I didn't realize how many winery there are in Texas or how large the wine

business is in Texas.

I love a glass of wine in the evening and a light sweet wine is my favorite.  My daughter calls it sissy wine- she likes the rich dry wines that cost a weeks wage!

 Six reasons you should drink wine for your health:

1. Wine could help preserve your memory

2. People who drink wine have a lower body mass

3.  Drinking wine boosts your body defenses

4.  Could  guard against ovarian woes

5.  Wine helps build better bones

6.  Helps prevent blood sugar troubles

Ok, I didn't make this up- I read it on a research on wine benefits.

Being Creative Again!

I must be a real Artist- I have to be inspired to paint, write, create my eclectic jewelry or do anything that's at all creative.
Last week I remodeled the house by moving things from room to room? Looks better and I purged- got rid of "Stuff" - and I do have allot of "Stuff". Some day I'm going to group all my collections and take pictures so I remember what I have collected!

Anyway I was in the mood and did some worked on jewelry last week-

 

I have also worked on my Facebook page at last!

so now you need to visit -

Ok- So I lost my iPhone and had jaw surgery!

I haven't been writing much due to a few issues. First I lost my iPhone and was so lost couldn't communicate with anyone!! Who writes do phone numbers any more???  Then had a painful jaw surgery! Ouch!
Now I'm back- The good new is- while I was home with a swollen face, couldn't eat, couldn't call anyone,

 I made jewelry! Yes, I was inspired !!
I don't know about other artists but I can only create jewelry, paint, or do anything creative until I get a vision like a bolt of lightning!  I have to see or picture in my head.  Sounds weird but it's true-
I have gone months without working in my little studio.

Being house bound- I got very creative-

Now I'm posting some of my jewelry in Etsy Shop mostly under Native American and Handmade sections. I did a few Western styles too.

 Any way I still have allot more jewelry to list in my Etsy shop.  So check it out----------------

Last Friday I was on my way to pick up a girl friend - Then I was it- an Estate sale sign in my neighborhood!!! Wow, I had to turn in and of course search every room in that house for treasures!! Found several items I wanted to buy but didn't have my check book and my cash was limited- so I could only buy my favorite. I forgot all about my girl friend for a while but finally picked her up.
My Estate sale finds!!!
The lesson I learned was don't get to excited about Estate sales - I lost my iPhone that day - Friday the 13th!!!
