This week my friend Susan of Permanent Posies and I get to go check out Christmas in Cowtown which opens on Thursday!  I can’t wait!

I always LOVE hanging out with Susan, she’s a long time friend and confidant and she and her hubby have always been there for us and given us the best advice!

So, when we get to have time together I am always thrilled – and when we can go to things like this – we have a great time!

Christmas in Cowtown is at the Will Rogers Memorial Center in Fort Worth.  It is a Holiday Gift Market put on by the Junior League of Fort Worth.

Christmas in Cowtown Holiday Gift Market is a juried show of more than 130 carefully selected exhibitors in a beautifully decorated and holiday-themed setting. Merchants from across the country represent a wide range of product categories including home décor, wall art and accessories, antiques, seasonal items, jewelry, children’s products, clothing and more.
