My darlin' friend Stan Williams, author of The Find, and I had a little Q & A session awhile ago. Today he has featured that interview over at his blog The Elegant Thrifter.
I'm so flattered by the feature on his blog! The other great news is that, as of yesterday, it's official, Stan is coming with me to Antiques Week at the end of September. Stan will be in my spaces at Vickie Davis' wonderful venue at "The Texas Rose Antique Show," located across from Marburger Farms, 2075 South State Highway 237. Your can find directions here. The show begins Saturday, September 26th and runs through Saturday, October 3, 2009. Stan will be in my space at the Texas Rose Antique Show signing copies of his book, The Find, and swapping stories about favorite finds on Saturday, September 26th and then again on Tuesday, September 29th.
To be honest, I feel a little bit like a drug dealer introducing Stan to this event. As I have said before, this event is just an "antiques freak's" Mecca. There are fields and fields and dealer after dealer, offering vintage treasures and it's my own little slice of Prozac!
Okay, so, this is how it goes every 6 months at my house. To thin my personal and professional collection of vintage textiles and other vintage goodies, I participate in "Antiques Week" in the Round Top/Warrenton area as a dealer/merchant - wink, wink, nudge, nudge. This is the equivalent to taking a compulsive gambler to Vegas or similar to 'make your own pipe night' at the crack house.
If you are planning on attending this Fall, please come by and meet Stan and get an autographed copy of his fabulous book. We will have all kinds of goodies to drink and eat on both days.
Perhaps you could even provide a little diversion, so that Stan and I can steal away for some shopping, because my family has already warned Stan and me that they may have to stage some sort of intervention to get us away from there!

I'm definitely going, if I can find my way around all of Round Top. Lol. Hopefully I'll see you two! (:
We dont have many events like this down under in Australia. How I would love to go. Thanks so much for dropping by Beach Vintage and leaving a comment.
Hi there! I just wanted to thank you for visiting my blog. Your blog is so much fun and you're just about the cutest thing!
How exciting for you. If time allows I am planning on trying to slip away from our tent at Zapp to pay you a visit. I don't usually get to much running around, but I'll sure try!

Hi Leann, I just completed the post on Stan and the book signing tour. I used some your verbage and I hope that was ok, I did give you credit for it. I'm so excited about the Book Signing Event. Thanks again for this opportunity, T
Hello Leann! Looking forward to meeting you in Warrenton, and wanted to invite you to stop by my booth at Marburger~~H15.
Hugs,
Shelley
"Make your own pipe night at the crack house"....I am dying here, you're a riot. I'll be going to Warrenton for the very first time this month, but I'm not sure I'll be there when Stan is. Huge bummer. Still, I'd love to meet up with you!
Have a great Tuedsay,
~ Anne
