It is highly possible that I may have lamented.
Anyhoo, I'd like to report that I did sleep considerably better last night, which I know is SUCH a huge relief to all of you.
However, after spending all day yesterday in Round Top and Warrenton (aka THE ANTIQUE/JUNK SALE OF NEVERENDINGNESS), I can also report that I still kind of feel like I was run over by some large piece of road construction machinery.
I feel a little better when I look upon these though,
These are my two new official marked #111 Texas Ware Bowls. And I am so excited to introduce them today to their new home and all their cabinet mates.
They will be happy here.
I do still have to name them. Perhaps this calls for a contest of some sort.
That reminds me! I have already contacted Gayla and asked her to send me the mailing address for her friend she suggested that we mail our first baked goods gift to. I drew her number this morning! The recipe for Almond Buttercrunch Bars will be posted tomorrow, and our first gift will be sent.
I hope that we can do this on a regular basis.
Thanks to everyone who sent in a suggestion.
I should also remind you that you can STILL ENTER the giveaway for your very own Texas Ware bowl. Just put a comment at the end of this post, (or you can go back to the Monday March 28 post) and tell us what your favorite bar cookie is! How simple is that?
Here's a preview of what you might win:
This one is a #118, the medium size, and is in almost mint condition. I think it would be a fine start to your collection.
I have loved it well.
Now I should go and make some Almond Buttercrunch Bars, go to the grocery store to stock up on essentials (before The Chief is forced to make some kind of ANNOUNCEMENT), and clean out my underpants drawer.
But I feel sure I will spend most of the day mourning the fact that because of my HORRIBLE TENDENCY TO INDECISION, I came home from Round Top without this little piece of scrap metal preciousness:
Please do not judge my level of yard art SOPHISTICATION.
The emotional turmoil of my indecisiveness is punishment enough.

That little donkey is cute, I would have kept on walking, after hearing my husbands voice in my ear..."what is that?". Some things are just too hard to explain to the men folk.
Thank you, Thank you,Thank you, for drawing my number in the bar cookie giveaway. I am constantly entering Pioneer Woman's giveaways for those candy apple red kitchenaid mixers. I never win anything on her blog. Winning this is so much better, because it is for someone who needs a pick me up more than I do.
Lu! I am wanting to go, and if I had known you were going, I would have tried to make it work to meet you there! It would have been so much fun, and I would have talked you into that sweet little donkey (I love him! btw) and he would now be loving life in your yard. :) I haven't been in years - like 28 of them, back when it was alot smaller - so I'm not sure of the ropes these days. But y'all are really, really making me want to go. We must plan something in the fall! :)
And my favorite cookie bar is the oatmeal caramelita - oh yum! And I think I should win, because - I have to admit, before reading about them on your posts, I had never heard of Texas Ware! I know, I know, where have I been hiding my head all these years? I think it would be most fitting for my first one to come from the one who introduced me to them. No better way to start a collection! :)
Love you Lu!
Lu, nice find, the Texas Ware bowls. I was there today for 8-1/2 hours, but I never saw even one Texas Ware bowl. Now I know why, you were there on Tuesday!! By the way, I like the little donkey and think you should rush back and grab him before someone else does!
