Happy New Year to One and All!!!

The Texas Twosome has exciting news and lots of information to share.

We would like to introduce you to the new residents of Mt. Pleasant in Washougal, WA, who plan to host their first event there on March 16th - Aleta and Bill Breese. (You can find out about their new venture "Flourishes" on Aleta's blog: http://thesillybear.blogspot.com/). Be sure to give them the same warm support you have shown us over the years. They will be good stewards of Mt. Pleasant. Bill and Aleta have attended Willow Nest events for some time and Aleta, like me, fell in love with the grounds the moment she arrived. As time has passed she and Bill have put that initial feeling into action and are planning on continuing where we left off. They will have seasonal sales and summer flea markets with many of our vendors including a surprise visit from the two of us...to be announced!!!! We will bring our Texas treasures to share.

Ludmil and I continue to explore this great state of Texas; spending more time in the van than in our little doll house. (That's what I call it. Ludmul calls it a shoebox.) Next weekend we are selling at the winter show at the "Red Barn" in Round Top and this spring we’ll be in the mighty Canton Market and at Zapp Hall. This has been a wonderful time for us and we have heard from many old friends who are planning trips to see us. We have also made wonderful new friends who have delighted us with their enthusiastic support. All in all we are having a wonderful time.

We hope you and yours have a bountiful year and are enjoying the world around you and time spent with those you treasure.

Our love and blessing to all.

Linda and Ludmil Marcov
