ROUNDTOP CANCELLATION SALE!!!

Well, by now you have all realized that the whole world is closed....

Including my next two art shows.

This is a sad state of affairs for everyone involved.  The vendors who depend on these types of shows for their livelihood, the schools that depend on the percentages of sales for their art departments, the event co-ordinators who have spent literally hours and hours of grueling, grinding work putting these types of shows together.

But, obviously for the good of the world, we have to do what we have to do...however unpleasant it may be.

SO....

my loss is YOUR gain!

I, like many others have huge investments in my inventory.

So, I'm doing a sale!

All of this is fresh, brand new inventory.

Regular prices and sale prices will be listed and I will be adding to this on a daily basis.

***Please note, shipping prices will have to be quoted.  These prices do not include shipping.

Homemade Mac and Cheese

I have had a special request from my youngest to start blogging my recipes again.

And.....

since we are all stuck at home I figured this is the perfect time to gear this back up.

So....

Last nights dinner was:

Bean's Chicken Lickin Chicken

Homemade Mac n Cheese

Charred Brussels sprouts

Here we go.

First find some large chicken drumsticks

Drench with olive oil

Season with garlic salt, salt, pepper, and 

this

throw some lemon juice on that too.

Then put on a hot grill

finished product.

YUM.

Next up......Grandson's favorite Mac-n-cheese.

I will have to admit, I kinda stole this from Chick-fila but I did change it up a bit.

Recipe:

16 oz macaroni

1 T salt

3 T parmesan cheese

2 cups of milk

Wondra powder

1 1/2 lbs of velvetta cheese

4 oz Colby cheese

bread crumbs

heat milk in large pan (being very careful not to scorch

add velvetta cheese and stir at med. heat

add parmesan

and 1/2 Colby jack cheese

melt it all in together stirring constantly.  Again do not scorch!

add wondra to thicken

about 2 tablespoons should do it.

this is how thick it should be.

Boil and drain macaroni 

It should look like this

add the noodles to the cheese mixture

pour in a pan, add the remaining Colby cheese and a little shredded cheddar

add bread crumbs

I did half and half, because, well, I was trying to make everyone happy.

bake at 350 for about 20 min.

Brussels sprouts (OMG yummy!)

First get microwaveable Brussels sprouts.

Tear of the top of the bag. add oil and seasonings

Microwave for 4 minutes.

pour bag on to a baking dish and cut in half.

Add garlic, seasoned salt, and a little more olive oil

Bake for about 30 min. at 350.00

They should turn crunchy.

Everyone gobbled this up!

Stay safe everyone!

Cook comfort food for your fam!

Enjoy!

Have a terrific day y'all!

What to Wear to Roundtop!

What to Wear to Roundtop

_________________

This spring will be my 9th season showing my art in Roundtop, Texas.

The Arbors to be exact.

ahem....

Tent D

Kendall Boggs Fine Art

________________________

So....I have people constantly ask "if I go, what do I wear? What do I take? What are the essentials?"

First all it's very important to know that Roundtop is a Texas fashion show.

I'm serious.

You will see everything from cowgirls donning their latest "fringe" and leather to age 40 something girl's trips wearing designer ripped jeans, Gucci belts, Golden Goose sneakers, and the ever important Hermes messenger.

Don't forget the hat.

Okay, let's start with the essentials.

First of all the weather at the spring show can change in literally one hour.

It can go from 80 degrees to 50. We've seen that happen.  Storms also often come up unexpected.

Must haves:

Rain boots

The cuter, the better

Hunter for Neiman Marcus

Rain Coat

Something light weight like this Stutterheim is perfect

If you need to take it off you won't want something bulky to carry.

Or you can just get a pack of these

your friends will love you for this....trust me.

Hat.

I suggest you buy one when you get there.  To do that, go visit 

the Hat man at The Arbors. Go early to get his best selection.

https://theguayaberashirtstore.com

he is in tent C-1

or, you can spend a lot on a hat like I do and go down to

Badar Ranch and visit Sissy Light

❤️

***every year I tell Lisa "DON'T LET ME GO BUY ANOTHER SISSY LIGHT HAT"

every year she doesn't listen to me.

Now...if the weather is nice, and in the spring it is FAB...

let me digress....Think Bluebonnets

because you will see them everywhere and you WILL want to take a selfie with them.

The essentials you will need:

First, bring a large shopping bag.  Most vendors have bags but it is so much easier on you when you just have a large bag to throw stuff in.

Lightweight.

I like something like this even though it's really large.  Keep in mind that a lot of vendors have things in close space so a structured bag could knock things over.  I found this cutie on Etsy

https://www.etsy.com/listing/621687382/linen-bag-canvas-tote-bag-vegan-bag?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=wax+canvas+tote+bag&ref=sc_gallery-1-10&plkey=3a9f282046a644a963d9a697addebf0b54737f10%3A621687382&frs=1&col=1

Now. Comfort is THE NAME OF THE GAME.

But,,,,so is fashion.

Whatever you do, DO NOT wear heels.

Think sneakers.

The cuter the better

Also, bring a pack of bandaids just in case those cute sneakers rub blisters.

Jeans.

Everyone wears jeans in Roundtop.

Actually I think that is just a given in Texas.

The more ripped, the better.

Alice and Olivia

Also a casual black dress is a must bring item.

I like this one from Loft!

you can always dress it up with a cute scarf or jewelry!

These are some other great pieces I found for those of you who are still deciding what to bring!

Denim skirt from Free People.  

You will see SOOOO many skirts with boots

Casual tunic dress to go from shopping to night! Pair with sneaks.

Free People

This is a great comfy maxi to just throw on. Dress it up or dress it down!

Take the shoes from this:

Veja

to this:

Eileen Fisher wedges for the win!

White fray edged jeans will be literally EVERYWHERE. (don't worry about it being before Easter)

Anthropologie

Pair with:

Aviate baseball cap

https://www.shopaviate.com/collections/texas/products/dfw-dallas-fort-worth-hat

I am loving this little shirtdress!

Anthropologie

And if I may.....get a little personal.

Boy shorts...

are an absolute MUST BRING.

https://tomboyx.com/products/4-5-trunks-cupcake-print

Go ahead and throw some of this stuff in your bag as well.

Trust me. You are walking around on a lot of dirt and gravel fields.

Ulta

A cute jacket like this camo number from Wren & Glory

or this

#obsessed

wrenglory.com

Water bottles, water bottles, and more water bottles.

(personalized of course with your stainless straw)

To put your mixed drink in...

At 9 a.m.

Preferably if you are on a girls trip it needs to be imprinted with something like this:

Girls weekend:

Because life is too short to remain dignified.

At night in Roundtop there are SOOOOOO many fun things to do! Great wine bars, music literally everywhere, great places to eat.

Oh, and karaoke...everywhere.

And trust me...it gets fun.

Some of my favorites are:

Prost

https://www.prostonblock29.com

to relax and have a glass of wine.

Or eat.

What to wear?

jeans, a cute jumpsuit, casual, don't forget the hat

To be seen:

Ellis Motel

(a bar on Henkel Square)

what to wear?

Something cute

The Garden Co. at Roundtop

https://www.thegardencoandcafe.com

get the Brussels sprouts.

What to wear?

jeans, black pants, cute jacket, cowboy boots

casual dress with cowboy boots

(you never know who you may see)

Market Hill at Roundtop

https://markethillroundtop.com

some of the best food in Roundtop

oh, and they usually have THE best bands every night.

What to wear?

What you shopped in

or

you can dress up if you like!

You will most likely be eating with a lot of the vendors out there.

Bonus: great prices on bottles of wine.

If you are in the mood for Italian my very favorite is

Lulus.

Oh yummy.

https://lulustx.com

What to wear?

I would go a little dressier, maybe little black dress, heels

(but really everything is pretty relax in RT)

Now....I would be remiss if I didn't do a little self promotion.

So...if you need art, come see me in Tent D at The Arbors.

The 2nd big white tent right square in the middle!

I have SOOO many great new and unique pieces that will be available and I am just super excited about showing them!

Things to remember if you are looking for art:

*Please bring pictures of your space on your phone.  Have them on hand so you don't waste your time and get frustrated scrolling through your phone looking for them.

*Have your exact room and wall sizes available.

I cannot tell you how important this is.

*Have a budget in mind.

Hope to see you there!

The Arbors will be open March 25 - April 4

Have a great day y'all!
