It's The Land Of My People...

This West Texas girl just returned from visiting West Texas.

No one describes it better than Jack Ingram in

The Great Divide.

Enjoy.

I know I did!

More About Doug Smith...

Yesterday, I featured the video, West Texas,

with photos by Wyman Meinzer

and music by Doug Smith.

If you aren't familiar with the music of Doug Smith,

please allow me to introduce you!

After you view this video,

go read about Doug and his music

HERE.

Please note that you can order his music

direct from his website

or you can download it from

iTunes and cdbaby.

I hope you are enchanted with his music!

West Texas

I have been absent from duty for many weeks now...

and I have stories to tell!

As I settle back into the routine of life,

I want to share this special video with you.

Perhaps this video will help you understand me a little better.

I'm a West Texas girl through and through.

There is no changing that.

No matter where my feet are planted,

my heart and my roots are in West Texas.

West Texas made me who I am today.

I hope the amazing photography of Wyman Meinzer

and the haunting music of Doug Smith

will transport you to the land I love.

I will be writing more about these

two talented artists in days to come.

Join me in West Texas!

Watch Out West Texas...Pent-Up Photos Is On The Way!

Attention all mothers,

grandmothers, aunts, godmothers,

fairy godmothers or any other doting person!

Pent-Up Photos is coming to West Texas!

YEE HAW!

So round up your little ones,

wash the West Texas dirt off their faces

and bring 'em to us!

We will fluff them up

and put em' on the moon!

Here are some of the precious kids who

visited us at the Zapp Hall Antique Show last month!

Look at this precious angel!

Isn't she out of this world?

These two adorable kids joined their aunt

to pose on the moon

after a night at the Junk Gypsy Prom!

Guess how much this little cowgirl loves you.

She loves you...

THIS MUCH!

I didn't think this cutie pie could get any cuter...

until she looked at the moon like this!

That expression is priceless!

These sisters had just arrived in Texas

after fleeing the devastation in Japan.

They arrived with their Mom and ONE suitcase...

that's it...

that's all they were allowed to bring!

Looks like they brought their sisterly love with them though!

This young man wanted a top hat and bunny ears!

He was a rather sophisticated prankster...

until his brother arrived on the scene!

Seriously, these brothers were having

so much fun posing!

Cousins get in the action for the camera.

What a delightful family!

You calling the kids in the house yet, Mom?

You can wait a few days...

Pent-Up Photos won't be in West Texas

until next week!

Look for us here...

PETTICOATS ON THE PRAIRIE,

the premier vintage market in West Texas!

We are excited to be heading West!

Hope you can make it to

Black Locust Farm in Ira, Texas

on April 29-30!

Here is a poster giving you more details!

Please go visit Petticoats on the Prairie

on FaceBook

and visit their blog HERE.

Did I mention that Pent-Up Photos isn't just for kids?

Nope!

The majority of our photos feature grown men and women

acting like they are kids!

Fun!

Stay tuned...

you know I'm gonna have some good photos to share!
