Meeting Carolyn Westbrook

On Saturday David, Bentley and I drove up to Round Top to

visit the Winter Show inside the Big Red Barn.  It was a beautiful

day and there was lots of activity in Round Top despite the fact

that not too many venues are open at this time of year.  It was

however, much easier to get around without all the typical

crowds of the Spring and Fall shows.

The show in the Big Red Barn was busy.  Lots of great vendors

from Texas and states beyond showing off their treasures.    I 

knew that Carolyn Westbrook would be there and I was anxious

to visit her booth and hoping that I would be able to meet

Carolyn in person.

I was in luck.  Carolyn was in fact present, although she was

swamped with customer questions and sales.  As you would

imagine, her booth was beautifully staged with all sorts of 

fabulous items as well as her signature bed linens.  

During a brief moment, while a customer was adding to her

already large order, I did get to chat with Carolyn.  She's

very open, friendly, energetic and full of fun.  

I was able to purchase two linen euro shams with down filled

pillows while I still had the chance.  Carolyn told me that she 

will be back for the Spring Show, so that I can see more of her

items then. 

She let me carry the shams outside in the daylight to make sure

that the color was just what I wanted, and it was perfect!  Here

they are.  I have placed them on the loveseat in the guest room

so that you can see how sweet they are.  I am looking for a 

queen size bed for this room and will be deciding what other

pieces I want to finish the look of this bed.  By the end of 

March, I should have all my decisions made and will be

ready to make my purchases at the next show.  Hooray!

I will be so happy to get this room completed.

More photos of the show later this week.  

Big Texas Hugs,

Susan and Bentley
