I have added two more items to my wardrobe of vintage clothing and accessories this week –
The purple-trimmed small late Victorian bonnet, and a small vintage-style handbag – all made by hand.
The bonnet is really not much more than rows of ruffled ribbon, lace, tulle and flowers all piled onto a small beanie. The bag is made of textured fabric made to look like patterned suede. Must get ready for the spring and summer author events!
Just finished Adelsverein Trilogy and Quivera Trail. As. a 20 year Boerne resident, I was fascinated by the history and throughly envolved with the family.
I am so glad that I met your daughter at the Boerne Holiday Market.
Thank you for hours of reading enjoyment.
Hi, Frankeen! I am so glad you enjoyed the books! I tried to touch on as many elements of local history and real people as I could! And to participate in as many local markets as I can.
Now – if you loved the Beckers and Steinmetzes – there is a kind of prelude – Daughter of Texas and Deep in the Heart which focus on Carl’s sister Margaret and her family – all of the things which he never knew about because she was minding the home fires. There are also two more books – Sunset and Steel Rails, and The Golden Road – which touch on Fredi Steinmetz and what he was up to as well…
