ack to you by high demand, this twenty-fifth edition of Show Daily is as informative as ever. We have news about evening shopping parties, amazing dealers and sales, live music, free appraisals and more. It’s funny how every September the debate comes up as to which is better - the spring shows or the fall’s. Some doubt that the fall shows are as good as the spring events. To this day, I still have not been able to conclude one way or the other. Just as the question of what is my favorite dish - I always answer, ‘The one I’m about to eat’ -I believe they can go either way, depending on so many factors. If you fall down and break a leg tomorrow, you may remember this show as not being very good. But, if Cho Li Yamamoto happens along your booth just as you are setting up and decides to buy every item in your truck as you are unloading, how memorable would that be? Hobble along with a crutch as you must, but for you it was a most fabulous show. Show Daily Editor, Roberto Alvarado (middle), with That scenario I have personally witnessed here in Texas, as granddaughter Audrea well as at other shows. We are seeing it more often, I think. I and Suzy Kirchberg. welcome your input if it has happened to you. “Hey, can you give me a price for everything in the three showcases? I really like your style and everything that you carry. Just throw me a price, you keep the showcases.” Your answer should be, “Give me five minutes, don’t go away, here have a coke, sit in this comfortable chair.”

Get your calculator, and hurry, because this guy means business and if he walks, you may just lose him for good. A real player who asks a question like this isn’t going down the field until you give him a price, lest he think you might slip something out of the case. Yeah, sneaky, sneaky. They know the game. They usually travel along the dusty gravel roads in golf carts and roam quickly through as many fields as they possibly can. They don’t miss a beat. They zero in on a booth that

specializes in the certain style they perceive is trending and buy with the intention to resell in whatever remote part of the world from where they come. From Florida to their New York shops, or from the cow pastures of Texas to their shops in Hong Kong. One never knows. Don’t take their offer lightly or see it as a joke. They are as real as a high-roller behind a big-stakes poker game in Atlantic City and they mean business. Deals like these go down in 30 minutes or less. They will pay a handful of cash, instruct their underlings in tow to supervise the packing and continue their quest down the road. I’m talking about 20, 30 or 50 thousand dollar deals. Last September, there was a large group of Japanese buyers mission-bound to fill three container loads to ship to Japan. A shopping list to replace the stuff lost in the great tsunami of March 2011, perhaps. These facts are absolutely true. I know the guys who were commissioned to pack and load those containers. And who hasn’t sold to my crazy colleagues from south-of-the-border. These Mexicans are here with pockets full of money to buy high end continental furniture, French 18th and 19th century rococo (the more ornate the better), and their favorite - early American golden oak. They fill their trucks and trailers and they’re off - sometimes making two or more trips. With the advent of the high tech communications ‘gizmos’, they can sell their booty remotely, receive instant payment and the quest continues. So to that end, I can only leave the question of which season is better up to you. The fall 2012 show promises to be a watershed event. The presidential elections are not a huge factor for most people in our business. The upswing of the stock market, as well as the upswing of the stock of many vendors - who are buying inventory in a mad rush to replenish for the coming fall and winter seasons - tells me this. This fall season will be the best because it is the show we are facing here and now. It will be one for the ages. o MAIN OFFICE: 512-535-3705

When the shows are over and the cows come back home

he transformation that takes place in Warrenton over the course of a few days is an amazing phenomenon. During the last Saturday of the Antiques Week, all up-and-down Texas Highway 237, there’s activity galore. Traffic’s bumper-to-bumper. A tent city is in full bloom. Every building, barn, shack and chicken coop is occupied. People swarm on both sides of the road in a buying frenzy. The transformation from rural Texas town to Graze land and marigold bustling mega-fair and back again is amazing. patches are crushed by the wheels (Photo: Lou Christine.) of campers and other vehicles. The invasion is in full swing. They are lined up for eats in droves at Zapp Hall and The Legal Tender Saloon. The Cole Building’s parking lot looks like the mall two days before Christmas. Six packs, 12-packs and packs of whatever are flying out of Warrenton’s General Store and the Round Top Mercantile, and the gas pumps gush fuel endlessly into SUVs and pick-ups. Those pumps won’t stop until last cowboy’s gone. But then come Sunday, the transformation begins. “We’re packing up, gotta be at the Atlanta show by Tuesday.” “Gotta make Canton by sunset.” “Gotta get out of here!” And as fast as they hurdled in, so do they fly out. Suddenly, with no sellers and no buyers and no nothing, this stretch of highway turns into something we never see during Antiques Week - a quiet county road. Rumbling 18-wheelers come charging down 237 from time to time, but hardly anything else. I could run right out there, lie down on the white line and do my 25-a-day sit-ups and more than likely not be run over. One can hear bees and the caws of the birds. For long moments, they are seemingly the only living creatures within earshot. You look around, nobody’s there. It can be eerie. Rows of tents are still up, yet abandoned, flapping as the blustery wind whips through their emptiness the same way it rushes through the branches of the majestic oaks in Granny McCormick’s yard. Funny, how you might not have noticed those trees during the show. Worn grass walkways, once jammed-pack with shoppers, are totally deserted. Campbell Building is boarded up like it’s ready for a hurricane. The upstairs porch at Hillcrest shows no signs of merry-making life. One almost feels like a character in one of those “end of the world” sci-fi movies, It’s a queasy feeling and I feel a sense of relief seeing someone come out of Doris’ General Store, acting normal, maybe tooth-picking their teeth. Rest easy, things must be normal. Come around these parts “off show” to witness for yourself, but hey, not too many of you at once! Between shows, we like keeping it quiet around here. It is real and folksy and we’re back to peaceful country living. o SHOW DAILY FIELD OFFICE PHONE: 979-249-4149

This section is followed by Excess, Clutter, North Gate Field, Bar W Field, etc. in the same order as if you are walking south on Hwy 237, going all the way down to the end of town, crossing the highway and making the journey back north again. The same holds true for the Round Top, Carmine and Burton sections.

The virtues of advertising Lou Christine
hen Ted Turner was asked the secret to his success he boldly answered, “Early to bed, early to rise and advertise like hell!” I sense what some might be thinking, “Easy for him to say, he’s big Ted Turner, blah, blah, blah! Yet take heed Mr. or Mrs. Businessperson, ‘cause there’s pragmatic and proven wisdom to his words. Seasoned businesspersons will tell ya’ it’s absolutely essential -- a portion of a business budget should be directed toward advertising. While working the fields and speaking to dealers about Show Daily, I get an earful: “I don’t need advertising, I’ve been here for 20 years! “EVERYBODY knows me, EVERYBODY loves me. I don’t need more business, I have all I can handle! Plus, I have no competition either! People are knocking down my door and storming in! All I have to do is sit back put my feet up on this desk and they’re throwing money at me!” Now, if I didn’t want to remain polite, the smiling Johnnyof-a-fool that I am, not wishing to ever, ever ruffle a feather belonging to a possible future customer -- I could be apt to
MAIN OFFICE: 512-535-3705
say, “Liar! Liar! Pants on Fire.” But that’s not how the game is played. Facts are, Coca-Cola still does it, Apple Computers still does it, Exxon Mobile still does it, as does every successful company. Regardless, EVERYBODY does need to advertise in some way, if they’re proud of what they’re marketing. Begging to differ with those nayseers: “EVERYBODY” DOESN’T know that “ALL” are aware of your business or product. New people show up all the time. And believe it or not, after as much as 20 years, some customers die off or just don’t come ‘round anymore. And, Mister “I don’t need no more business” sure doesn’t act that way when he’s huckstering his “whisker biscuits” like they’re “the absolute most-est” to a family of Amish folk just tire-kicking and looking for a replacement horse-and-buggy. continued on page 24

Speaking frankly, who doesn’t desire more business? Anyone who camps out here to do business who states they don’t need or want more business during the cold, or repressive heat, winds and weather, why they’re more than likely insulting common-sense intelligence. Thinking there’s no competition is foolery ‘cause competition manifests itself in all forms and shapes. Today, a prospective customer can call on the mighty and divine Google to ferret out similar products. Competition absconds with disposable funds by tempting potential buyers with a vacation, or a new truck or on something that we would never deem as being competition - after all, most of us only have so much money to go around. Lastly, what businessman today plops his feet on a desk and has cold cash thrown in their direction? Don’t give me that! OK, OK, OK. Before you begin to think that this heartfelt article is blatantly self-serving, penned by a guy who thinks he’s a slick Willie advertising salesman trying to get people in that there book, “Show Daily”.... Well, yes and no. Those flattering me by reading “Dealers Corner” for the last twelve years hopefully will attest I’m firmly planted in their corner. The purpose here is, and has always been, a way to help vendors do better in the long run. Vendors, big-timers or small fries, proud of their goods, wishing to develop further business, need to get-the-wordout. They DON’T have to buy an ad in Show Daily, but they
www.showdaily.us
should promote by having updated business cards, have an address, an email, a phone, visible signage, shout-out what they have to offer on Facebook or Twitter, invest in a web page, advertise in publications they sense their customers read, T-shirts, buy radio time, TV spots, billboards, placards on their vehicles, bumper stickers, hire sky writers . . . but do Something! Anything! Don’t believe that without advertising that drooling customers are going to come sailing in like drunken sailors who just got paid. If you do nothing, the only chance you have to make a sale is if a customer winds up by chance in front of your booth. Yet just a few yards away, a customer just might be looking for the type of items you‘re carrying and perhaps that prospective customer has no idea those goods are just down the path. Think about it. If you want to offer feedback, chastise, give praise or even talk about other forms of advertising during the show, just dial me at 512-940-4788 or email me at vipsma@gmail.com o

Dealer Profile: Meet David Pieratt
H
All that’s silver Lou Christine
e’s usually a mainstay, sitting there unassumingly at his card-table desk in the midst of his sterling silver hollowware and jewelry inside the Cole Building in Warrenton. David Pieratt, 67, of League City, Texas, says he has been in the business for 37 years. Getting into the silver business was more or less one of those nuances of life that create instant change. As a picker, David came across a treasure trove of silver years back. Such a deal. He snatched up the entire inventory, only to discover the person he purchased the goods for was no where to be found. What’s a picker to do? Left with few other options, with his own capital invested, Pieratt now suddenly found himself in the vintage silver business. He attempted to sell off as fast as possible. Yet, over the course of moving it “at all costs”, was a “silver lining”! David discovered a business for himself and an attraction to the metal. His family’s presence at the Warrenton-Round Top events spans decades. Norma, his wife, has been a “junker” for 45 years, and David says, “She might be one of the very first dealers who set up at La Bahia, outside of nearby Burton.”

Son Gregg operates the booth at La Bahia Hall these days, carrying similar silver items. Greg also runs the antiques event company Continental Shows. “Gregg writes more tickets than I do, and moves a lot of pieces during the show,” says David. “He’s a go-getter.” The proud dad says his son outsells him two-to-one. Yet, dad also states that his business has David Pieratt, owner of Gulf never been better. “All and all, Coast Silver, enjoys meeting business is good. We sell about people at his booth in half and half, or 60-40 at the Warrenton during the shows.

hen it comes to vintage architectural and industrial items, Excess is arguably the leading show area. Without a doubt, it’s definitely a prime spot to visit for those who want to delve into the world of the unique. John Norton, owner of Industrial Age Antiques out of Kannapolis, North Carolina, has some of the most distinctive and unusual items around and is stationed at the site. A veteran of 10 Texas shows, Norton is currently handling goods such as vintage jewelry, including masters and molds, as well as hubs and dies for a variety of ornaments from belt buckles to brass baseball cards. John Norton and his collection of Norton says his merchandise vintage jewelry masters and molds. is perfect for those who want (Photo: Derek Phillips.) to spruce up their home with some original artwork or don costume jewelry from the 20s. Collectors may even spot a rare item or two. “For those who want to see the unusual thing or want to have the unusual, I tend to have it,” said Norton, who has continued on page 29

been dealing in antiques for almost 50 years. “I think of antiques as art.” For the layman, masters are the original piece of jewelry made by the designer. The masters are pressed into clay, making the mold. The molds are used to reproduce the wearable jewelry. This method was used from the 20s to the 80s until it became obsolete due to computerized machinery. Hubs are metal originals. To make a coin, years ago an artist would actually carve it out of metal – making a hub. The hub is then pressed into another piece of metal, making a reverse mold. From the mold, the item is made. “There are many beautiful jewelry pieces designed from a lost art,” Norton said. “Coco Chanel really made it popular. She wanted a different piece to go with each outfit.” Norton said some of his items also make superb wall displays when mounted in a shadow box. This method of decoration is referred to as “objet d’art”. To make his finds, Norton buys the rights to clear out old mills and factories. In the process, he makes all kinds of discoveries. He currently has about 300 pounds of costume jewelry he recently recovered. He says about a third is wearable and the rest can be used to make repairs. “Every piece of jewelry is unique ,” Norton said. “It is perfect for those who repair or build jewelry. You can take the vintage jewelry and make it the centerpiece.” Some of his most valued items are rhinestones from France, Czechoslovakia and Germany. The stones can be used from adorning dog collars to building artistic creations like mosaics. “They are wonderful. They are hand-made and not made of glass, but of paste (the process),” Norton said. “Today’s glass stones don’t have the same depth.” His rarest articles may be the 60 or so Topps baseball card hubs he stumbled over at a jewelry company in Providence, Rhode Island. These hubs were used to make commemorative brass card sets that were given out to VIPs by the card company. He has player card hubs of such hardball icons as Nolan Ryan, Pete Rose and Roberto Clemente. “There is only one available,” Norton said, referring to the hubs. “You don’t have to collect… anyone interested in memorabilia would like these originals.” It is likely that shoppers will find no other place like Norton’s booth. If you buy something or not, it is definitely worth a visit to see these distinctive pieces. For more information, contact Norton at (207) 737-8119 or visit him at Excess in Warrenton. o

American Samaritan: The way to a heart is through the stomach
T
Derek Phillips
he American Samaritan is not a name that conjures up thoughts of Texas barbecue. However, that’s exactly what they serve at Granny McCormick’s Yard in Warrenton. Their top-notch smoked brisket sandwiches topped with a perfect sauce is the product of a driving force of spiritual inspiration to assist victims of natural disasters. Founded by Buddy Shipp, who passed away in 2011, the American Samaritan is now being operated by his widow, Wanda, and son, Jeremiah. The duo has continued Buddy’s selfless tradition by catering to hungry show-goers the last few years to raise funds to help those impacted by earth’s catastrophes. “My dad wanted to help people at what he was good at,” Jeremiah said. “He brought his love for people wherever he went.” Buddy originally began selling sausages on the side of the road in Waco in 1991
Bowie Table Rentals: 979-966-9260 We deliver!
and that eventually led to the opening of a barbecue restaurant in Baird, Texas, near Abilene. When wild fires struck in California that same year, Shipp, spurred by his remarkable faith, cleaned out a chicken truck and took clothes and food and anything else he gather along way to assist in his first major relief effort. “He picked up our youngest (Twayne) and oldest son (Ryan) and they drove with him with clothes and food,” Wanda said. Jeremiah Shipp was “He had no money, in Haiti recently, to but people would help help with continuing along the way. When efforts to rebuild after the devastating 2010 he traveled, he never earthquake. worried.” Before he passed, Shipp headed to Haiti after the devastating earthquake in 2010. Jeremiah said his dad was somehow able to get a container of medical supplies delivered and also led a group that erected a McDonald’s playground at an orphanage near Port au Prince. Jeremiah and Wanda have also made recent trips to the orphanage. “We dug waterlines with the help of the kids,” Wanda said. “We teach the kids how to set up drip irrigation and provide for themselves. They normally eat two meals a day; sometimes they might have a snack. We don’t try to change them. We try to make their lives better.” Jeremiah recently returned from the Caribbean island and said conditions are still poor, with some people literally starving. He plans on another trip soon with his son. At the shows last spring, the American Samaritan raised about $5,000. This year, Wanda and Jeremiah said they will have about 24 briskets ready to tackle shoppers’ appetites and to raise funds for future trips. According to Jeremiah, the family plans on doing everything they can to continue the practice his father implemented. “It’s a different take now, but we plan on being there when people need help,” Jeremiah said. “My dad always said ‘There’s nothing you can’t do with brisket in your hands’.” For more information on the American Samaritan and its works, contact Jeremiah at 814-270-0435 or Wanda at 979-200-9150.

Westbrook is a designer who has not only created her own line of home decor, bath and bedding products, but has also authored five books on interior design. “I have been decorating, renovating, and designing for many years. It was in 1994, when I was designing and manufacturing my own children’s wear line, that I designed chair covers to be used at a trade show in New York. It was then that I realized I was onto something. People began clamoring to buy the chair covers and a new business was born,” states Westbrook. Using a combination of antiques, fabrics and accessories, Westbrook works to inspire others to create their own home decor style that reflects their inner spirit. Beginning in September, her French-inspired products will also be available nationally through the retail chain Bed, Bath and Beyond. “We are so excited,” she exclaims. The book signing will take place at 3900 Highway 290 West, just outside of Brenham. For more information visit leftoversantiques.net Copies will also be available at her booth in Warrenton, Zapp Hall Field, during the show. o

The sweetest, toughest lady of Warrenton Lou Christine
he watches over her domain with eagle eyes. Her recall for names, places and dates is razor sharp -perhaps sharper than the barbed wire found in these parts. If provoked, she can be as tough as a tow truck driver, but towards those she cares for, the pint-size lady with curly, satin-textured silver hair is as tender as a pediatrician. She’s the one and only B. J. Renck -- a genuine tour de force. Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, the two-time widow relocated to these parts from Houston when she met and married her second husband, Smokey Renck, on June 3, 1978. That was three years before the newlyweds purchased the historic wooden dance hall now appropriately named Renck Hall. The country-folk atmosphere of Fayette County and tranquil setting seemed perfect for the precocious B.J., as most people call her, especially since admitting she has maintained a life-long romance with antiques. Almost right away she began to establish an additional venue for antiques, as Round Top was beginning to create notice in the trade. For three years, the Rencks rented Zapp Hall and began hosting one of the original venues in Warrenton. The family is credited as trailblazers who’ve helped parlay this show into one of the greatest antique shows on Earth. Renck’s organizational

skills and attention to detail enabled her to recruit quality dealers who matched her enthusiasm and foresight of things to come. “John Sauls,” she says, “the eventual founder and creator of the massive Marburger Farm show, was my very first tenant! That’s way back when the main antique show attraction was Emma Lee Turney’s Original Round Top Show at the Rifle Hall.” Not shy, B. J. knows the history, and is fast to tell and separate fact from legend. Listening to B.J., short for Bobbie Jan, rattle off dates and events in machine-gun fashion is a Warrenton history lesson in itself. These days, she’s the ringmaster of three popular venues, with backup coming from daughters Marlene and Sheryl. Her son, Marlon, and his wife, Michelle, rent out tables, and now tents, during the show all throughout Warrenton. Marlon now also heads a newer summertime monthly venue at Renck Hall Field. “If you haven’t been chewed out by B.J. Renck at one time or another, you haven’t experienced all the nuances that come with the show,” states one of her long-time tenants, who prefers not to be identified. Yet, at the same time it’s pointed out, “She can be very tough, but she is very fair and there is no doubt she is responsible. She treats all as her own.” continued on page 40

RENCK HALL, from page 39
One of the three Renck venues is Renck Yard, fronting Texas 237, just west of Granny McCormick’s building and field, where Ms. Renck rents to about 18 steady dealers. A couple of hundred yards across and down the highway is the established Renck Hall and its field of dealers who set up in front. One can’t miss the Hall, with R-E-N-C-K prominently spelled out on the front of the building in red letters. “I probably have 100 dealers in the front field, who carry a bit of everything. Some have been with me as long as 20 years. Inside the Hall, I have about 30 top-shelf dealers. They mostly showcase fine wooden antique furniture.” Her take on the current, immense show area: “If dealers bring good merchandise and market those goods at a fair price, people will continue to come.” She also acknowledges,

One can usually find B.J. at the sweets and coffee counter in Renck Hall’s rear. She’ll delight you with insight on how things are done in these parts and she’ll direct you toward goods you might be looking for. One thing though, whatever you do, don’t even think about parking your SUV or even your tricycle in front of the steps of Renck Hall during the show. Lord have mercy on ya’ if you do! o

uthor Maureen Stanton spent seven years tailing a roving antiques dealer, Curt Avery, to understand the passion, need for knowledge, the thrills, difficulties and disappointments involved in being a dealer in the collectibles and antiques business. The result of her extensive research is a fun, fast-paced and authentic book on the ins and outs of the trade: “Killer Stuff and Tons of Money”. The tome was picked as a Favorite Book of 2011 in the Chicago Sun-Times, the San Jose Mercury News, the Kansas City Star and the Seattle Post Intelligencer. Annie Groer of The Washington Post writes in her review of the book: “Curt Avery is the fake name of the very real hero of “Killer Stuff and Tons of Money”, which is too bad. Because after whipping through Maureen Stanton’s utterly engaging, heavily researched account of her old college buddy’s life on the yard-sale flea-market antiques-show auction-house circuit, I wanted to invite myself into his multi-state universe and hang out with all those dealers, collectors, sport shoppers, decorators, scholars and especially the pseudonymous Windsor chair restorer whose brilliantly altered and repaired pieces have fooled a number of top antiquarians and museums. Not since Larry McMurtry’s fictitious rogue “Cadillac Jack” has there been such a charming emissary from the world of the previously owned.” The book is available at Amazon.com in paperback and hardbound. o

Artist Thomas Andrew Findlay holds special exhibit with Johnny Loves June at Hillcrest Inn show Suzy Kirchberg

labama based artist Thomas Andrew Findlay will be appearing at Donna Fussell’s Johnny Loves June booth by Warrenton’s Hillcrest Inn (on the side porch of the Blacksmith Shop) for a special exhibit of his work and a meet and greet with shoppers on September 27, 28 and 29. “Tom is a well known artist Artist Thomas Andrew Findlay will from Birmingham,” says make a special guest appearance Fussell. “He has had many at the Johnny Love June booth by Warrenton’s Hillcrest Inn for a television appearances with meet and greet on September 27, ABC, NBC, etc. We are just 28 and 29. Findlay specializes in so excited to have him join us unique American landscapes. with his art.” Findlay was recently commissioned by the GOP and the state of Alabama to execute four large canvases depicting an elephant with the state flag or Old Glory in the backgrounds. The works were signed on the front by presidential hopeful Mitt Romney and auctioned at the past August Republican National Convention in Tampa, Florida. Findlay’s unique works blend acrylics, oil stains, inks and pastes onto wooden boards with a combination of palette knife and brush. The final pieces are rich in color and texture. “I am a true colorist at heart,” says Findlay. “I love color – or the lack of color - because it can conjure deep emotions.” The 45-year old artist is perhaps best know for his interpretations of the American countryside. His inspiration in large part for these works are based on the old and now forgotten barns and farm houses found throughout the nation. “These were homes at one time in our history. Their simple silhouettes gave me a haunting sense of serenity,” he notes. The historic buildings are the muse behind Findlay’s
“Somewhere in Time” series. He also enjoys painting horses and the female figure – especially as angels. “The female figure is a beautiful subject matter and God’s work of art,” he says. “Along with Tom’s visit, we have a TON of fun stuff planned at the booth this fall,” adds Johnny Loves June’s Donna Fussell. “We are doing dance-offs and karaoke singing for extra discounts on the side porch of the Blacksmith Shop all through the show. We’ll even have a disco ball! Plus, shoppers can draw for prizes and discounts to be used at the booth. Everyone is going to have so much fun!” Although Donna commonly hosts shopping parties at her Warrenton location during Antiques Week, she has additional reasons to celebrate this year. She developed a new line of jewelry this past January that has taken off, “like a herd of wild horses,” as she puts it. “Johnny Loves June’s jewelry can now be seen in Crowe’s Nest Trading catalog, Teskey’s and King Ranch catalog and stores,” she says excitedly. “I feel incredibly blessed.” Donna Fussell’s line of jewelry Stop on by the side porch incorporates inspirational at the blacksmith shop and elements like crosses and winged hearts. be inspired by these two very talented artists. o

he most ancient known fermented beverage to mankind is mead, or honey wine. Although still not a common drink, mead’s popularity is starting to take root in Texas and also right here in Fayette County. The Rohan Meadery, located at Blissful Folly Farm, half way between Warrenton and La Grange, is holding the state’s first annual Mead Fest this Saturday, September 22 from 11 to 8 p.m. A handful of other meaderies from around Texas will be joining in on the festivities. There will be Texas honey wine tastings, a mead competition, honey tastings (honey is the base ingredient in creating mead) and live music. Families are invited to come out to learn more what mead is all about, to sample some of the different honey wines produced locally and throughout Texas, and to get a better understanding of the ecology behind producing it as well. Rohan Meadery is owned and operated by Wendy and John Rohan, who began producing mead commercially at the farm in 2009. The Meadery’s large tasting room and outdoor deck that overlooks the countryside, will be open to the public during Antiques Week. Visitors unable to attend the Mead Fest are invited to stop by and sample their honey wines. LOCATION: 6002 FM 2981, La Grange, TX 78945. For more information, visit: www.rohanmeadery.com o

hings have changed when it comes to women in business. That change is evident when venturing around the show areas at Texas Antiques’ Week, as it appears that at least half of the booth and field proprietors are ladies. According to Dr. Christine Williams, Chair of the Department of Sociology at the Center For Women’s and Gender Studies, University of Texas at Austin, this change is being seen nationwide. “The number of women in entrepreneurial positions is growing,” Williams said. “Many go that direction due Emma Lee Turnery, to barriers they encounter entrepreneur and matriarch of the Round Top shows, kicks up her heals in the workplace. It also enables some women during a recent outdoor concert. Over the years, she has been honored to stay in the traditional by three Texas Governors for the domestic role due to economic impact her shows have had schedule flexibility.” in the State as well as the region, When exploring women and has been listed in “Who’s Who in American Women,” a publication and business at the shows, that profiles important leaders of it would be hard to start American society. anywhere but with Emma (Photo: Show Daily Staff.) Lee Turney – the originator of what is now arguably recognized as the largest show of its kind in the U.S. – Texas Antiques Week. Raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma, the spry 84-year-old queen of the shows was brought up more like women are today. “I was raised to work,” she said, recalling the days of watching her entrepreneurial minded father run a variety of businesses. “He insisted everyone in the family work.” Emma, as she insists being called, attended Massey Business School in Houston and eventually became involved in the antiques business in the 1959, operating a successful show near Cleveland, Texas. From there the idea to start a show in Round Top came to fruition in 1967.
During her tenure at the Round Top shows, she built the Big Red Barn, which she has since sold, and she now operates Round Top Folk Art Fair & Creative Market. She was also one of the first to install air conditioners in show facilities. Emma did say she encountered some difficulties being a woman in the business world, but she improvised. “When I wrote a business letter, I signed it E.L. Turney,” said Emma, author of two antique show related books Summer Cullins and of over 160 articles on antiques and opened her retail collecting trends. “When I went to see women’s apparel and the man at the show facility, he was accessories business, Yaya Gurlz, in 2008 surprised, but I did the show.” along with her As a business leader, Emma’s mother, Julie Young. longevity is grounded in basics like operational simplicity, quality and strict awareness of costs, but she does acknowledge that to be competitive, a good idea is a must. “It’s the American way for someone to do exactly what another does successfully,” she said. “You should watch what your followers do and think of something better.” Over at the Marketplace show area in Warrenton, Summer Cullins, 30, is an example of the current generation of women who are starting businesses without a second thought. Cullins co-owns Yaya Gurlz, a “funky” women’s apparel and accessories business with her mom, Julie Young. A graduate of Hardin Simmons University, Cullins decided to pursue the entrepreneurial world by opening the shop in Tuscola, Texas, in 2008 and simultaneously going on the road selling at places like Las Vegas. “I was out of school and I wanted to travel and see different places,” Cullins said. “In my family dynamic, my mom, grandmother and step-dad all owned businesses or were selfemployed. I have grown up with it.” continued on page 53

I have a dream job that is also a creative outlet for me, and profitable,” says Penny, who has been a crafts person and artist for 40 years. “I began creating and selling my pieces when I was 18,” says the bubbly blonde. “Being a stay at home mother, those years gave me time to develop my skills.” Over the years, Penny’s work has been featured in Country Home Magazine, Country Decorating, and on San Antonio Living on several occasions. Gaudy Chic Boutiques wholesales to many upscale and unique shops throughout Texas. She is in the process of developing a website for her unique art style, which she hopes will give more people the chance to enjoy her work (www.gaudychicboutique.com).

Surprises on the auction block
Navajo blanket brings 1.8 million
A
new world record for a Navajo textile was set in late June when the “Chantland Blanket”, a First-Phase chief’s wearing blanket, realized $1.8 million (including 20% buyer’s premium) at John Moran Auctioneers’ June 19 Antiques Auction. After a pitched battle between phone and floor bidders from across the country, the well-known dealer Donald Ellis of Donald Ellis Gallery in New York and Ontario, bidding from the floor, emerged the victor as the stunned consignor looked on. This sale price eclipses the previous record for a Navajo blanket when a similar example sold for $522,500 to a buyer at Sotheby’s New York in 1989. It is the second-highest price ever realized at auction for a Native American artifact of any type. The Chantland Blanket embodies the sought-after trifecta of exceptional rarity, exemplary provenance and fine condition. Consigned to Moran’s from the descendant of a Norwegian immigrant turned tradesman, John Chantland, who acquired it in the 1870s after settling in the town of Mayville, Dakota Territory, it remained in the family until the present day. Maintained in remarkably good condition and never exhibited, the blanket excited a storm of interest upon its reemergence to public view. Only four other First Phase blankets incorporating lacdyed red stripes are known to exist outside of public collections, and this design variant of the 19th century artifacts is considered the holy grail of Navajo textile collectors. One example nearly identical to the Chantland is a star exhibit of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian. During the 1850-1860s, the First Phase chief’s blanket was one of the most prized trade items in the Southwest, sought after by European settlers and Native Americans alike, and selling for large sums for the time. The earliest type of design in the Navajo weaving repertoire, of which archeological examples date to the mid-1700s, First Phase blankets commonly feature a simple pattern of horizontal stripes of natural brown, black and ivory and indigo-dyed handspun wool. Fewer than 100 First Phase blankets are known to exist. Notes Jeff Moran, Senior Vice President at Moran’s: “For centuries, the Navajo Indians were among the most advanced weavers in North America. This wearing blanket not only displays that talent in simple utility for the period, it offers proof of how sophisticated the weavers were by incorporating the red lac and blue indigo colors into the linear composition. It’s Navajo art in purest form.” John Moran Auctioneers, Inc., was founded in 1969. Based in the greater Los Angeles area in Altadena, California, the company conducts monthly sales featuring American and European fine art, decorative arts and jewelry. All auctions are held at the Pasadena Convention Center in Pasadena, California, with bidding available from the floor, by telephone and absentee, or online via liveauctioneers. com and artfact.com.

his is an earth-trembling cover illustration and an equally magnificent price,” said Todd Hignite, Vice President of Heritage Auctions. “McFarlane’s art brims with the raw energy that sky-rocketed McFarlane to the top of the industry and, now, the top of the auction world.” Hignite is talking about the record breaking $657,250 paid for artist Todd McFarlane’s original art for The Amazing Spider-Man #328 (Marvel, 1990) on July 26 as part of Heritage Auctions’ Signature Comics and Comic Art Auction. The artwork was part of the Shamus Collection of Modern Masterworks, a collection of late 1980s and early 1990s original comic book art put together by Martin Shamus, owner of a comics and memorabilia shop on Long Island and the father of the founders Wizard Magazine. The drawing tops the charts as the single most expensive work of American comic book art sold at auction. Prior to the July 26 sale, the record was held by a page from issue no. 3 of the 1986 comic book “The Dark Night Rises.” It sold for $448,125. o

Dear Editor, I’m a regular shopper at the Antique Festival. I hate having merchants offering me a discount before I start looking, then hover over me. I’m looking for something only I can find. Pre-discounts always makes me think the products are priced wrong? I just want a “fair” price. Don’t sell too cheaply and don’t hover. Many of us have shopped for years and we can recognize a fair price! It needs to be a win/win for both. Kay Thomas via email Hello Kay, Perhaps just politely say that you’ll let them know if you need any help or that you’ll call them if you have a question. Some dealers think that offering a discount right away helps break the ice.

Divine insipration from behind a power drill Show Daily Staff
K
athleen Wedemeyer is a firm believer in Divine inspiration. As a precocious girl, she loved to draw and had a tendency to collect odd little bits and pieces of salvaged objects. Becoming a young woman, she found herself attracted to the idea of perhaps being an art teacher or maybe a graphic designer. She knew she had a fervor for the arts and she enjoyed people. Deep down, she wanted to somehow merge her childhood passions and create her own form of art - to build something from the found treasures she was inclined to collect. Kathleen took a plunge and enrolled in a high school shop welding class. Being the only girl in a room full of boys with a bunch of power tools was not easy at first. “Lonely-ville,” she says. But the longer she hung in there, the bigger her sense of achievement. Soon, she couldn’t wait for shop class. She was hooked. The hum of the woodcutting saw, the buzz of the power drill, the bellow of the blowtorch became music to her ears. She grew into a master in handling power tools, alway using profound concentration and respect, but with great enthusiasm too. She realized she suddenly had the means to create artistically what she had never thought possible. Kathleen soon began fusing and coupling this with that, welding and soldering and gluing that-upon-this. Her art, under what she refers to as ‘heavenly guidance’ was emerging. It turned in to Hope and Glory, the name of Kathleen Wedemeyer’s inspirational art company. She greatly credits her husband, Ron, for being a mentor and steady influence in the creation of her business. He constructed a studio/ workshop for her at their Katy, Texas home. “He can build anything,” she laughs. The enterprising woman now has her own space where she can freely build her crosses, shadowboxes, angels and inventive wall hangings. Business is fairly brisk, she confides, but she still hasn’t completely given up her day job. When not putting together unique pieces of art for Hope and Glory or attending shows (she’s a regular at the Canton, Texas monthly First Monday Trade Days), she’s teaching Multi-Media Collage/Power Tools 101 to area women. During Antiques Week, Kathleen’s work can be seem in the rear of the Campbell Building in Warrenton. She enjoys talking about her creative process with others, and may even be inclined to give a tip or two on the use of a particular tool or how to affix juxtaposing objects. o SHOW DAILY mobile during the shows: 979-966-7820

Following the local wine trail

he number of vineyards in Lone Star State is growing fast. With over 200 wineries now in operation, Texas is the fifth largest wine producing state in the nation. For those who want to enjoy the Texas wine experience, Show Daily has created an unofficial trail right in the neighborhood. The trail meanders some 60 miles, linking seven wineries in Brenham, Burton, La Grange and Weimar. Starting from north to south, the first vineyard is the quaint Windy Winery (1) located on the northern outskirts of Brenham. Owners Linda and “Auggie” Meitzen have been developing their Texas grapes and wines for 24 years and have seen things change. “Texas wines are maturing,” Linda said, “and wine connoisseurs are too.” The winery features 11 wines, including the
most recent harvest of Blanc du Bois. While enjoying a taste of wine, cheese and crackers are also available. The winery hosts an annual “Grape Stomp” event where guests can get into a barrel and squash the juicy, round fruit with their feet. Tours are offered as well. Heading south about 15 minutes or so through historic downtown Brenham, the destination is Pleasant Hill Winery (2). Owners Bob and Jeanne Cottle’s winery has produced a number of award winning wines, including its Rosso Forte and Dad’s Red Blend. The winery also offers a free wine club. Members and a guest receive samples of four wines, including tasting notes and food-pairing suggestions. Small production and prerelease wines are available, as well as some wines made exclusively for the club. Participants receive a 10 percent discount on event fees and purchases and are invited to special events. Stop three is Saddlehorn Winery (3), located on a 390acre ranch about 20 minutes away to the west. Owner Stephen Morgan’s first grape “crush” was in 2009. According to Morgan, his winery produces 12 wines, featuring estate grown wines Blanc du Bois and Spanish Black. Guests can enjoy their wine in a 12,000 square-foot renovated barn while looking at the tanks where it is made. A variety of live music is also available at different times of the year. Driving south about a half-hour, Rohan Meadery (4) sits just west of the show areas. Owned and operated by Wendy and John Rohan, the meadery is one of a handful of honey wine producers in the state. Mead is makind’s oldest known alcoholic beverage. “We have 10 hives and we also buy some honey, but only from local Texas producers,” said Wendy, a biology and chemistry degree holder from Texas A&M. The tasting room, called the “Hive”, provides guests the opportunity to sample the honey wines only feet from the chambers where it ferments. The meadery features infusions flavored with spices and fruit, like blackberries and kumquats. continued on page 64

How to Taste Wine Wine tasting is a time-honored art anyone can enjoy. Enrich your satisfaction with these easy and entertaining steps. Seeing the Wine Look at the wine in a glass. Pay attention to color (Is it red? Or more maroon?) and clarity. Tilt the glass and swirl. Is it clear or cloudy? Any sediment or bits of floating cork? Remember, an older red is more translucent, a younger red is opaque. Smelling the Wine Smell the wine. Gently swirl the glass to release the bouquet. Stick your nose into the glass and inhale. Notice the complex aromas. Is it floral? Fruity? Oaky? A pleasing bouquet is a wonderful indication of a good wine. Tasting the Wine Take a small sip and roll it around on your tongue, then take a quick breath and mix the wine with air. Did the flavors open up? Reds often have an oaky or berry flavor. Whites are more likely fruity or floral. Swallow. How does the wine finish? Does the flavor linger or pass quickly? Consider the texture--is it light-bodied like water, or full-bodied like milk. Your evaluation of the wine depends on your personal taste, but this technique gives you the best overall reflection of the wine’s elements. -Wine is a subject often shrouded in mystery for the novice. Connoisseurs talk about body, must and tannins, while some of us are left wondering whether to have red or white with dinner. For some fun wine basics to give you a nose for wine, visit the Go Texan Wines website www.gotexaswine. org. It is a great guide to food and wine pairings, appellations, Texas varietals, vintage terms, how to buy wine, decoding the wine label and how wine is made. You can also learn about the health benefits of wine, or read on for some fun Texas wine facts and trivia. The above passage is from the Go Texan Wines website. o

The Inaugural Mead Fest is being held at the meadery on September 22 from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Movies are also shown on Saturday evenings during the summer. Fifteen minutes away is stopover number five: Rosemary’s Vineyard (5), Fayette County’s first winery. Owners Beatrice and Emmett Schulze, began growing grapes in 2000 and opened for business in 2006. Rosemary’s Muscadine Wine is made from the grapes that are known as “The Grape of the South” (not to be confused with Wild Mustang). It is a sweet wine, slightly aged with oak. Rosemary’s is also noted for its Ruby Port which is aged for 3 years. Also, a new social event building has been added to the property. The final stop is only 20 minutes away, and is the trail’s newest winery – The Weimary (6) -- a casual yet elegant vineyard situated just west of Weimar on Grohmann Farms. The vineyard features a spacious wine tasting room and an event venue, Grohmann Haus, for intimate weddings or private parties. The vineyard grows two types of grapes -- Blanc du Bois and Lenoir and there are 10 wines available for purchase. Some of the wines come from small boutique wineries throughout the country to give tasters different options.

Round Top to honor Ms. Emma Lee Turney Suzy Kirchberg
“S

Over the years, she has been distinguished by three Texas Governors for the economic impact her shows have had on the state of Texas, and the region. The town of Round Top, backed by the Chamber of Commerce, will recognize Emma’s influence on the community with a gala in her honor this November. “Mink, Martinis and Manure” will be held in the Pavilion at the new Henkel Square Market in Round Top on November 10, beginning at 6 p.m. The Chamber is looking for stories about Emma from over the years, as well as photographs. The gala is being catered by Royers Round Top Cafe and chef Nancy Sullivan. Dux Deluxe Swing Band is providing the music, and dancing is encouraged. “Mink, Martinis and Manure” is a quote from Ms. Turney’s book, “Denim and Diamonds: Emma Lee Turney’s Round Top Antiques Fair”. The book chronicles the early years of the show and the society ladies, bedecked in jewels, who used to frequent the semi-annual event. “We are encouraging everyone to come wearing minks and cowboy boots,” said Royer-Steele. The Round Top Chamber has put out a call for items to be included in a live auction that will take place during the evening. For more information, or to share photographs and stories about Emma, please email: events@roundtop.org. Tickets for the gala, which are on sale now at the Chamber’s office, are $30 single, $55 double and $200 for a table of eight. The Round Top Chamber of Commerce is located in the new Henkel Square Market, 205 N. Live Oak. Phone: 979-249-4042. Come on out to pay your respects to the matriarch of Round Top. ❏

Original Apple computer expected to fetch up to $125,000 at auction
hristie’s London auction house is slated to offer a rare original Apple personal computer, now known as the Apple-1, serial number 22, from the estate of Joe Copson, a former Apple employee, during their October 9 “Travel, Science and Natural History” sale. Realised in 1976 by the Apple Computer Company, the Apple-1 machine was designed and each model hand-built by Steve Wozniak. His friend Steve Jobs suggested a number of improvements, and handled its sale and marketing. The pair famously invested all they could to finance the first Apple creation, with Jobs selling his only mode of transportation, his VW and Wozniak his HP-65 calculator to generate enough funds for the

project. The Apple-1 is expected to fetch between $80,000 and $125,00 (£50,000 and £80,000). James Hyslop, Scientific Specialist, Christie’s commented, “This is the computer that started Apple, now recognized as the most valuable company in the world; its significance in making computer technology accessible for all cannot be undervalued.” Introduced in July 1976, the Apple-1 was sold without a casing, power supply, keyboard or monitor. Priced at $666.66, the first Apple-1s were sent to purchasers direct from the garage of Steve Jobs’ parents’ house. It is not clear how many Apple-1s were sold, but by April 1977 the price was dropped to $475. It is estimated that less than fifty are still in existence today.

The queen of candles Lou Christine
“Y
ou can get plenty of sleep when you’re dead!” That’s what Warrenton’s Little House on the Hill’s energetic dealer Tanya Walker’s all-inspiring grandmother and mentor used to preach. Tanya holds true to a work ethic soulfully handed down by granddaddy, Pappy, and grandmom, Dolly. The 21st century’s model, who’s sometimes referred to as Dolly Jr., has a twinkle in her window pane blues when she speaks of her hard-working grandparents, whom she credits for providing her with an entrepreneurial spirit and a way to make a living. “I’m 46 now,” says Tanya. “I’ve travelled across the country, junking and picking with my grand parents from about the age of five.” When speaking with the dynamo lady, who could be called Warrenton’s “Queen of Candles and Potpourri,” it’s evident the positive influence those close relatives handed down to her, including the efficient way she conducts business. Walker says when she and the family first set up in Warrenton there weren’t more than 10 dealers on hand. She marvels at

The Fosters, located at the Gone To Texas Antique Show, hand pick the antiques and collectibles, and grow all the flowers, pumpkins and gourds they sell. The Fosters met in 1957 and spent their dating years going to auctions to purchase antiques. They married in 1960. Donna said she started drying flowers shortly afterwards and they eventually opened Carriage House Gardens, where they offered unique garden antiques, dried flowers and herbs, candles and freeze-dried fruit. The shop also specialized in freeze drying wedding bouquets. They closed the business a few years ago in order to focus more on participating in antique/art and garden shows in the Kansas City area, maintaining their permanent booth at the Greenwood Mercantile in Greenwood, Missouri. This year the Fosters grew close to five acres of flowers. With the extra dry summer, it was a challenge and in one

The Fosters hang dry the Hydrangea, but use a freeze drying machine for the Peonies. The machine is the same type of equipment used to freeze dry food for astronauts. “They (the flowers) come out looking just the same way as before they went in,” Donna said about the magic results of the freeze dryer. The blooms first go in a traditional freezer until enough trays of blooms are collected and ready for the freeze dryer. The Fosters freeze dry about 10 trays at a time. A tray holds the equivalent of a flat of flowers. The freeze dryer is set for 30 degrees below zero. Once the temperature is at that mark, the trays are inserted to begin a 10-day curing process. The temperature is slowly increased up to 50 degrees. The flowers are then ready to be removed and packaged.

On Monday, October 1, corks are popped, platters of cheese abound and all dealers stay open until 9 p.m. The extended hours allow area dealers an opportunity to get out and do a little shopping too, something which many are unable to do during the day. Davis recently opened the Texas Rose Cafe on the venue grounds. The eatery features items that health conscious foodies will love. The sandwich breads are all whole grain and artisanal, and the dressings for their variety of salads are also homemade. The Cafe has a nice selection of wine and beer as well. The Texas Rose Show is one of the earlier opening venues in the Round Top area. Dealers are set up and ready for business the weekend of September 22 (through Saturday, October 6). Parking and admission are free. Texas Rose has both indoor and tent spaces, and is located directly across the highway from Marburger Farm -- 1/4 mile south of Round Top Square. ❏

hree young girls lined up at the frozen lemonade stand at the Marburger Farm Antique Show. Dressed head to toe in Magnolia Pearl-Cowgirl attire, they each carried a small purse with their own saved-up money. Nearby their mothers and grandmother shopped in concert, part of the family rhythm that has become a phenomenon at the twice-yearly Marburger Farm show in central Texas: multiple generations shopping for antiques together at the blockbuster favorite. On Tuesday October 2 through Saturday October 6, the Marburger Farm Antique Show in Round Top will welcome shoppers from across the US and around the world. Among the thousands of designers, store owners and collectors will be families shopping together. “I always see family groups at Marburger Farm,” says Kentucky exhibitor Tricia LeTempt of Red Door Antiques. “Each generation buys different things, but they are creating time to have this experience together at Marburger.” Just back from shopping in England, LeTempt will offer ironstone, industrial lighting from an old European factory and a collection of French rosaries in silver and mother of pearl, as well as American garden and farmhouse antiques. “Marburger Farm is our favorite show,” says shopper Maggie Castleman who leads her tribe of daughters, daughter-in-laws and granddaughters into the 43-acre show with over 350 exhibitors. “Marburger is big so that we all can look for different things, but it’s also easy,” says Castleman. “Everything is in one place. It’s relaxing. It’s fun for us to wander up and down those aisles together.” While Castleman collects vintage jewelry (Marburger exhibitor Virginia Pierson in the Silver Dollar Saloon is a favorite), the next generation buys to decorate their homes. Daughter-in-law Laura Castleman has brought along her girls and their cousins for six years. “They want to be with their grandmother in the environment that she loves. The girls shop for charms, for antique doll clothes and for vintage cowgirl boots.” Laura Castleman once brought her husband along too. “He fell in love with a dining room table that is now in our house,” she says. What else is in the house from Marburger Farm? Well, chairs for the table from one show, a hutch from another, a Marburger coffee table, lighting and a huge piece over the mantel from Marburger artisan exhibitors Sundie and Brad Ruppert of Vintage Sculpture from Iowa. Sundie Ruppert looks for the Castleman clan at every Marburger show. “It’s fun to see the children shopping at Marburger Farm,” she says. “With their purses and boots and hats, they remind me of me.

Recalling yet another family of Marburger shoppers, Sundie Ruppert remembers selling a life-size Indian maiden sculpture to a shopper who now collects their work. “Then her daughter came and surprised her mother for Christmas with one of our big flashing arrows. It hangs in their kitchen at the beach.” Exhibitor Julie Harris, of Missouri, also sells to family groups with her inventory of antique and vintage college memorabilia, trophies and sporting equipment. “Sometimes I’ll have three or four generations all wanting pennants and photos from the University of Texas, A&M or other Texas schools—I save those up for Marburger. I’ll have antique paperweights and the framed vintage banners, swimsuits and sports uniforms that families use to decorate their kids’ rooms, dens and man caves.” Harris will also offer a collection of antique trunks, some large enough to use as tables and kitchen islands. At the fall 2012 show, Marburger Farm will debut its own man cave. “Bring your husbands and dads,” says show coowner Ashley Ferguson. “For football season, we’re turning the Marburger Bingo Hall into an air-conditioned man cave with a big screen TV so they can watch the games. And it’s just across from the Blacksmith Bar.” The Marburger Farm Antique Show is open for all ages on Tuesday, October 2 with Early Buying from 10 a.m. through 2 p.m. for $25 for adults, free for children 15 and under.

Edvard Munch’s ‘The Scream’ brings just under 120 million at auction Suzy Kirchberg
ne hundred and nineteen point nine million is a heck of a lot of money for anything. That is the amount paid for Edvard Munch’s famous painting, “The Scream,” brought at Sotheby’s this past May. It made the Guinness Book of World Records as being the highest price ever paid for a work of art at auction. Bidding lasted for a breath-taking 12 minutes between five potential buyers. The figure is so surrealisticly high that one can not help but wonder -- is any work of art really worth that much, or is this just a case of rapacity on steroids? Munch painted four versions of The Scream, three of which hang in museums in Norway. It is an iconic work that has appeared on everything from coffee cups to tee shirts. Some say that it is as well known as the Mona Lisa. The piece has a proletariat feel to it. Who has not come home from an especially frustrating day at work feeling like the figure depicted in Munch’s painting at one point or another? Perhaps that is what makes the sale price so disconcerting. Protesters gathered outside of Sotheby’s on the day of the auction, upset about the company’s long time lock-out policy against art handlers. Posters, with the words, “Sotheby’s: Bad for Art,” were angerly waved.
MARTA’S
While the mood outside was one of indignation, inside it was one of awe. The New York Times reported that when bidding paused at 99 million, auctioneer Tobias Meyer smiled and said, “I have all the time in the world.” When the 100 million mark was reached, the crowd broke into applause. Is $119.9 million the value of this painting, done in 1895 by the Norwegian artist, or does the price represent something else? The winning bidder was New York billionaire and Apollo Global Management chairman Leon Black, according to The Wall Street Journal. Forbes estimates the man’s net worth to be in the neighborhood of $3.4 billion. They also report that his art collection is worth $750 million. (It is unclear if that figure is before, or after, the acquisition of “The Scream”.) People have the right to spend their own money as they please, and I normally applaud record breaking sales. But somehow, this sale just doesn’t seem quite right. It is difficult to say if it is because of the subject matter, the price or the fact that the buyer is a corporate multi-billionaire and that we have been hearing about the 1%-ers so often in the news of late. In any case, there are three more original versions of The Scream that can still be viewed by the general public. R

es, well I was in India yesterday, but I’m in London now,” states Sean McLaren, in a way that really only the Brits can do well. “A few new containers in the works for Round Top, you know.” I can almost imagine him spreading orange marmalade on his toast and pouring another spot of tea, casually rumaging for something to jot a note on. Sean’s natural scene of wanderlust got him started in the antiques furniture business some 30 years ago in the UK. During his time roaming for unique treasures, he discovered Houston and soon set up a retail outlet there - McLaren’s Antiques and Interiors. “Well, about twenty years ago, Sean chanced upon Round Top,” notes his colleague, Helen Jones. “It was in its infancy then.” “I did Round Top for a bit, but I drifted away,” adds Sean. “We started doing new imports and moved away from antiques for a while. We opened a manufacturing plant in China for unique reclaimed wood tables and other furniture.” But Sean has come full circle over the years, returning to the Round Top area with his unique selection of hand-picked old treasures and an offering of new and innovative decorator items as well. “After visiting Round Top last year, I realized how much bigger and better it had become, with everyone from around not only the U.S., but the world, making the time to visit,” he adds. “I felt it was the time to invest resources in the show and I am still able to spend time traveling the world to bring pieces to the show not shown by any other company.” Sean’s eye for style, and easy conversation, can be enjoyed at his new local Round Top roots during the events, just north of town, across the highway from Chelsea’s Meadow show and Emma Lee Turney’s famous Round Top Folk Art Fair. “We hope that what we can bring people is a vast choice of quality and unique pieces that they will cherish for years to come,” adds Helen. If the selection from this past spring season offers even an inkling of goodies for the fall show, we are pretty sure her wishes will be granted. Come take a tour of one of the newest places in town for cool old stuff. o

Ale to the Chief: President Obama’s White House home-brews beer
I
nspired by home brewers from across the country, last year President Obama bought a home brewing kit for the kitchen. After the few first drafts, we landed on some great recipes that came from a local brew shop. We received some tips from a couple of home brewers who work in the White House who helped us amend it and make it our own. To be honest, we were surprised that the beer turned out so well since none of us had brewed beer before. As far as we know, the White House Honey Brown Ale is the first alcohol brewed or distilled on the White House grounds. George Washington brewed beer and distilled whiskey at Mount Vernon and Thomas Jefferson made wine, but there’s no evidence that any beer has been brewed in the White House. (Although we do know there was some drinking during prohibition…) Since our first batch of White House Honey Brown Ale, we’ve added the Honey Porter and have gone even further to add a Honey Blonde this past summer. Like many home brewers who add secret ingredients to make their beer unique, all of our brews have honey that we tapped from the first ever bee-hive on the South Lawn. The honey gives the beer a rich aroma and a nice finish but it doesn’t sweeten it. o

Romance is back! Show Daily Staff
D
id you hear? Pink, ruffles, lace, even the word ‘pretty’ is BACK! What’s interesting about this new turn of events is that MEN are actually leading the pack on romance. “Apparently, it’s time for a lady to have a beautiful Boudoir,” comments textile dealer and designer Pandora de Balthazar. “To do so, one must utilize sensual colors to enhance and soothe in this very special room -- where the mind, body, and soul begin and end the journey of restorative sleep.” Pandora de Balthazar, a long time dealer at the Round Top Arbor Antiques Show who hails from Pensacola, Florida, has long been a believer of romantic bedrooms. “Everything you see and feel when you go to bed and wake up should be comforting and nurturing,” she notes. “Instead of dressing bedrooms from the typical view that a photographer would capture from the doorway, we design the room from your position inside the bedding, all to caress and cradle the body for continuous cycles of sleep.” “The bedroom is the most intimate room in our homes. It is were we share secrets, laughter, love and sometimes even tears,” says Pandora. “Men and women both realize that deep down. Today, the trend is turning towards men wanting romance and nurturing rest in the bedroom too.” Pandora and her lively staff of Sleep Coaches offer Trousseau Sets and her famous European Sleep System this fall, which have the makings of the beginning of a beautiful room designed to accomplish the goal of restful sleep and happiness. Elegance, subtlety, timeless yet romantic softness prevail in these extraordinary new ‘boudoirs’, designed for women~~ with the men in their lives in mind. “If you haven’t renovated your ‘Boudoir’, or your sleeping rooms, it’s time,” says Pandora de Balthazar. Check out her sensual sheeting options, fall in love with your own initials embroidered into beautiful textiles, and dream of that perfect room for yourself. “After all,” she comments, “you have to experience the difference to KNOW the difference!” Pandora can be found in Round Top, just one mile northeast of the square on Hwy 237. “Make time to experience the difference,” she says. “Bring along a friend, a mate, your spouse or best friend. After all, sleep and feeling great about yourself is what it is all about.” Most importantly, Pandora and her staff have techniques SHOW DAILY mobile during the shows: 979-966-7820
to help you achieve “The Perfect Sleep” -- to lower the temperature in your bed; cooling down your sleeping environment; the use of textures to ‘massage’ your skin during the night and ways to dress your bed or sleeping room to remove aggravating distractions such as noise, light, snoring, and more. o

of rations so I could walk around without tripping or stepping on a box of something. There were times I thought I would need an extra fridge, floor freezer or have to call a friend for storage or at least to be second eater. However, I never went hungry, nor did I die. Mission accomplished. After the giant shopping trip, I would take the necessary first-things-first action any Texas man would. Rather than attending class, I spent the majority of my day after “the trip” safeguarding the coveted items like Twinkies, Ding-Dongs, and of course, all fresh beef. I hid the snacks in an area no friends would discover – under the sink and behind the cleaning gear. The beef was hidden in the back the freezer behind plenty of chicken tenders and French fries. This noble action of mine was developed by my step-dad. One of his major thrusts in life was to ensure that I never ate the last of anything. It was a hard-and-fast rule, but I quickly learned a way around it. After eating the last cookie, I would clear the pantry of any crumbs and take the wrapper to the trash in the garage. The garage trash was different than the house trash. It had remnants of failed “projects” like lumber, duct tape, nails and such. There I would discretely and carefully hide the wrapper at the bottom of the container after tearing it to pieces, ensuring that identification would be near impossible. I had to be deft, as any wound from reaching into the garage trash could spell the end of my secret move. He never found me out. Not in 20 years. Mission accomplished. Married now, there is no doubt the female food influence wins. I have more chow in the cabinets than ever before, and I am happy to serve my wife and share. The most common words I utter to her are “Can I get you a snack?” or “What can I cook you for dinner.” For a woman, I think that’s better than “I love you.” o

seem like a long time for the return, Bretch is thinking farther down the line as he and his wife Michele, another co-owner, plan on passing the business on to their son, Andrew, also a co-owner and their nephew Matt, the store manager. “It’s all tied together,” Bretch said, referring to helping the environment and saving the business in electricity cost. “It obviously helps everyone.” Bretch’s path to solar power began in the late 50s in St. Louis, Missouri when he began working on TV sets at a nearby repair shop. Following that, he was a radio repairman in the National Guard and went on to opening his on electronics store in Houston in 1985. In between, Bretch, who has a master’s degree in curriculum development from Southeast Missouri State University, taught high school industrial arts/ electronics. Before the Industrial Country Market became a reality, Dan tested his solar power dreams on a weekend camp house on 42 acres in Columbus. “For five days during the week no one would be at the house,” Bretch said. “On the weekends we would stay there for two days. The experiment was a success, and when we finally bought the additional 45 acres on Hwy 71, we had no doubt it would work there.” The market opened in 2010, but the solar equipment was installed and operating in 2009.

Texas Quilt Museum showcases a historic artform

he Texas Quilt Museum in La Grange is one of the hottest spots in the area to visit. It opened last November and so far in 2012 more than 5,000 people have stopped by to experience the amazing artistry displayed here. The museum is one of a hand-full of its type found around the country. Currently, it features more than 60 quilts, ranging from antique to contemporary, in three galleries. On October 4, in conjunction with the International Quilt Festival in Houston, the museum will be featuring a 3-month exhibit of quilts made from 1825-1940 called “Celebrating Great Quilts”. All the works are testaments, women’s contributions to art, history and culture, according to Nancy O’Bryant Puentes, co-founder of the Texas Quilt Museum and executive vice president of Quilts, Inc. “The body of quilts that have been made throughout the centuries are a reflection of their times and of the lives of the
women who made them,” said O’Bryant Puentes. “Quilts are a reflection of women’s lives and their interests, and as such, they are wide-ranging and diverse.” Cindy Ramming, a quilt artist from Bakersfield, California, recently visited the museum with her sister, Mary Fuller, of Houston. Her goal was to gain a few new ideas for her own work. “I came to this venue to see what other artists were doing,”

said Ramming, a 35-year veteran of quilting. Ramming also appeared on Simply Quilts – a HGTV production. “I started because my grandmother made quilts, and I took a quilting class with about 50 other women who wanted to recapture their heritage.” In addition to the superb designs, many visitors may relive a time that’s been lost as our society has changed. “It is often very moving to listen to comments of visitors to the Museum talk about quilts they remember sleeping under as a child, or of watching their mother or grandmother piecing a quilt together,” said O’Bryant Puentes. “The museum is not only for ladies. Men may also enjoy the trip.” Earl Minnis from Santa Barbara, California, recently paid a visit with his wife, Claudia, a quilt artist. “The building is unbelievable,” said Minnis, who drove the 1,500 miles from the Golden State. “From a guy’s perspective

Rare decoys top the $30,000 mark at auction Show Daily Staff
n extremely rare miniature great blue heron made by renowned American carver A. Elmer Crowell (1862-1952) sold for $31,050 at a Summer Decoy Auction held July 15-16 by Decoys Unlimited, Inc., at the Cape Codder Resort & Hotel. It was a new auction record for a Crowell miniature, breaking the previous mark set about five minutes earlier. That’s when the lot immediately preceding the blue heron – an American egret standing 8 ½ inches tall and boasting the superb original paint – changed hands for $25,875, breaking the previous record of $25,300 (set at a 2004 auction, also held by Decoys Unlimited, Inc.). Where it took eight years for the egret to enter the record books, it took minutes for that record to fall. The great blue heron, at just over 8 ½ inches tall, was about twice the size of a typical Crowell miniature bird of this species, which no doubt drove up the price. It was mounted on a carved “rock” base with subtle undulations and the piece was signed on the base in Crowell’s hand (“Blue Heron”).
The surface of the decoy was flawless, with nicely blended feather detail. “All the Crowell carvings in this sale were strong, as were miniatures by A.J. King and George Boyd,” said Ted Harmon, owner of Decoys Unlimited, Inc., based in Barnstable, Mass. He added, “The market is much stronger than it was in 2008 and 2009. Things are bouncing back. The back-to-back Crowell miniature record-breakers are indicative of a healthy demand.” continued on page 117

The investment is then removed and special tools are used to repair any imperfections. Once the sculpture is finished in metal, chemicals are applied to the surface to create a patina -- a tarnish produced by oxidation.

hese days many smaller business owners are diversifying, which can be a very good idea. The usual reason behind that is to increase market share thus increasing revenues. However for one local proprietor, diversifying is fulfilling a sincere desire to support area ranchers and create an opportunity for people to eat healthier. Trish Duhe, co-owner of Barn Birds antique shop in Schulenburg, with her husband Colby, offers shoppers Fayette Cattle Company beef in her store with zero mark-up. The cattle, all Longhorns, are grass-fed and raised in a stress-free environment. “I was a vegetarian for health reasons and due to the way cattle can be treated,” she said. “However, I stopped because it became increasingly difficult for me to find organic food to fit my lifestyle.” So when company co-owner Joan Herring met Duhe at her store recently, thanks to a connection from the Schulenburg Chamber of Commerce, a new, beefy relationship was born. Now, Duhe has the cattle company’s ground chili meat, ready-to-cook hamburger patties and sausage for purchase. With no mark-up, prices are very reasonable ($6.50 for a pound of the chili meat), so customers can eat healthy without taking on a huge grocery bill. “I like knowing the meat is local and organic and I can look at the cows and know they are treated well,” Duhe said.
“I can also shake hands with the man who takes care of the cattle – it’s personal, and it supports the community and local economy.” Is the meat good? Well, the verdict is in with one consumer. Jeanne Reavis, an oil-painting artist from Houston, recently lugged a brisket on her plane flight to Colorado. Reavis buys about 10 pounds of beef a month. “We don’t eat that much meat, but when we do, we buy it from Leslie Penello,” she said, noting it was the first time the airport screener had ever seen a cut of beef in the terminal. “It (the beef) makes fantastic meatloaf and meatballs for spaghetti. The rib eyes are great and the meat doesn’t have a lot of junk in it.” According to Leslie Penello, co-owner with Herring, the cattle receive no hormones or antibiotics. Also, the beef contains one-third the fat and half the calories of regular beef. So, essentially, the beef contains 3.7 grams of fat per 3.5 ounce serving compared to 12-20 grams in commercial beef, and approximately 120 calories per 3.5 ounce serving compared to 190 calories in commercial beef. Visit The Texas Longhorn Cooperative website at www.txlonghorncoop.org for more on beef and health. For more information or to purchase the Longhorn beef, call Barn Birds in Downtown Schulenburg at 979-743-3185 or visit fayettecattleco.com. o

ome see, hear, and play at Diamond in the Rough at Tietjen’s in rusty Rutersville, Texas! In 1915, grandpa Hermann Tietjen bought a horseshoeing and blacksmith shop in ‘downtown’ Rutersville. And in 1981, grandson Larry and his wife, Leah, took over the business with a concentration on what they still love best (other than each other) - designing and manufacturing steel grill guards, headache racks and truck bumpers in their own signature style. They called their family-owned and operated business, which is still going strong in 2012, Tietjen’s Lone Star Truck Equipment. Their son, Chad, joined the business in 1993 and daughter, Holli, participates as well. And now, with one of Holli’s best chums, Leigh, the Tietjen clan has created “Diamond in the Rough at Tietjen’s”, a mega-booth (well, a whole venue) showcasing Holli’s Pipster Accessories and LHTX by Leigh K. Hajovsky. Each antique show season, the “DITR” venue grows by Some of the fun and funky stuff found at Diamond in several vendors. This year it the Rough, in Rutersville. also includes Outlaw Glitterati by LHTX tees; Shabby Junque Couture by Endlessly Fabulous furniture and decor; Electric Feather Co. with leather and accessories; Tietjen Lone Star Truck Equipment, Fire Pits & Industrial Chic Findings; Country Contessa organic soaps and Sweetheart Body Art henna. Tietjen’s is proud to represent not only original works in clothing, furniture, art, accessories and metal, but an old and talented country-loving-and-raised Rutersville family of nearly 100 years. Join them for a unique, rollicking, rusty, eye-popping time during this year’s big show, September 27 – October 7. If you’re heading towards Warrenton on Highway 159, they are on the left in ‘downtown’ Rutersville (just a stone’s throw away from Show Daily Headquarters). Larry, Leah, Chad and Holli Tietjen, Leigh K. Hajovsky, Crystal Wiatrek, Philisa Giannukos, Cheryl Schmidt and all their pals will be lookin’ for ya! o MAIN OFFICE: 512-535-3705

t was by chance - an impromptu opportunity, that Lupita and Monica were walking in front of the Institute of Indigenous Affairs in Guadalajara, Mexico, when they noticed The gals hand weave and a group of Huichol Indians assemble their sandals gathered at the door. Dressed in their small Tonala in colorful and festive native workshop. garb, the group attracted (Photo: Show Daily Staff.) a handful of onlookers. Curious, the life-long friends converged with the crowd. They learned that this group of misplaced natives from the foothills of Jalisco had been invited to give a course in Huichol embroidery to younger Huichols from a different region. Somehow or another, the two young ladies were able to sit in on the teachings of these craftsmen, normally reserved only for their colleagues. They went the following day and again every day until the course was over. Before long, they had learned all the finer points of this guarded trade. The pair of enterprising women had been working on several assembly lines manufacturing womens shoes and it didn't take long before they realized that the indigenous technique could be adapted to a line of footwear. The result of that idea is their new line of colorful, hand woven sandals, or chancles, with leather soles. They weave sturdy but soft nylon cord with colored beads and stones into delightful patterns and affix that work to the base of the shoe. The pair have since recruited most of their siblings and neighbors just to keep up with demand. At this time, their output is just over 50 pairs a week. We are amazed at their creativity and want to share with you. This is a first! Look for their unique sandals at the Rutersville Convention Center with Mexican Masters Galeria. Look for their signage. o SHOW DAILY FIELD OFFICE PHONE: 979-249-4149
