Well...another new year...another season of shows...another kidding season [click for pic][pic][pic]...another host of resolutions...including one to do a better job of updating website. Calendar page with our show schedule has been updated. Have added items and pics here and there. Also added a Favorite Links category - if you have a favorite website, email or call us with the web address and we'll consider adding it to our favorites. As always if you have questions, suggestions, or special requests, please contact us. Yes, it's another year with the ever present sounds of the saws, tumblers, grinders, and polishers...THANKS for visiting!

FINALLY!! We have uploaded our new pages and all links are working! Go ahead - try one or try them all! We are still working on additional site content and optimizing features, such as loading times for pages and photos. Please let us hear of any problems, questions, comments, or suggestions. THANKS for visiting!

Certainly didn't intend to wait so long between postings! The Calendar of Events page has been updated. We no longer show in Seguin, but the remainder of our schedule is pretty constant. Rain and flooding created major problems in getting to shows in 2004 --even though the weather at the show site may be "fine", if both creeks are flooded at our place, we will not be able to cross them. So far 2005 has been much drier, except for the 7+" rain last week [and that was before the hurricane]. Had another 1" or so from rain bands associated with Hurricane Emily.

Enough about weather & excuses. Have more pictures & items to list and will update specials page "soon". For all you crafters and vendors out there, we have many items [lamp & electrical parts, iron stars & other decorative iron items, beads, jewelry & findings, pewter figurines, gift items, and more] available at dealer/wholesale pricing. Just contact us for information on pricing.

As some of you know, late this summer we changed to a new host for our website. We [finally!] have revised the site, and all links should be active. If you encounter any problems viewing or navigating on the site, PLEASE let us know the specifics so we can fix it.

We will be adding more pictures and listing more items from our inventory. We still have MANY items not listed. We have many one of a kind items, particularly fossil and mineral specimens. We have added many more items to our inventory, such as additional species of trilobites, ammonites, leaves, and crinoids. Also added more minerals including opal, septarian, pyrites [from several different locations], calcites, quartz, amethyst cathedrals, and too many more to list here. The calendar page has been updated to help you find us at our shows. THANKS to all of you who have visited us at the shows and to all who have visited our website!

About Miss Lily - click here to meet Miss Lily

Miss Lily is a Bethlehem Cross donkey, so called because of the dark brown stripe that runs from her neck to her tail and a second stripe - the crossbar - that runs across her shoulders to form a cross. She is a Guard Donkey [she is NOT a pet...], protecting goats and cats and wild rabbits and occasionally dogs from wild coyotes and other things that go crunch in the night.
