Small Shops

We went back  to the little town of Granbury, TX on Saturday to take Tom's great grandchildren to see a play in their old Opera House.

Arriving early, we decided to visit the small shops that are around the city square. I am not real sure exactly what these are...I guess works of art?

I really did like this Indian Headdress

and since there are a lot of cotton fields, here in this part of Texas...is it any wonder that someone had made a wreath out of cotton bolls?

Hard to see through the window, but there was a lady in this shop sculpting a clay figure.

Taylor Beth was fascinated by the artist

The artist, Margaret Drake, told us that she had done the bronze horse and rider, displayed in the window. I told her it reminded me of a Remington. She said he was her inspiration.

She and Taylor Beth became fast friends. I was touched at how she took time to explain to this child the process of how a piece of clay became a sculpture.You can see more of  her work: HERE
If you ever make it to Texas, put Granbury of your list of places to visit. There is so much to do there...and the natives are very friendly!
