We were blown away when Cowboys & Indians Magazine featured us on the front page of their holiday gift guide 2016. They did such a creative display with our Blesbok mounted on our Tradition Panel. They set it on a barn wall and surrounded them with garland and lights for a rustic holiday feel.
Then later in the holiday gift guide they featured our popular monogrammed Legacy that can be personalized for special trophy.
And keeping company with Tom Selleck ——!

Sporting Lifestyle: Run for the Roses
The Sporting Lifestyle
It’s that time of year. Horse racing and the cocktails to go with them!
The Sporting Lifestyle for me is not just hunting, shooting & angling. But all things outdoors.
It ‘runs’ in the family.
Thomas M. Toher, American painter 1868-1929 was a horse portraitist .
Each year in April I pay homage to the Triple Crown of Racing: the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness & the Belmont.
On my bar.
And wait for the 1st Saturday in May.
The Belmont began in 1867
The Preakness in 1873
The Kentucky Derby in 1875
With a collection of family memorabilia and vintage barware to make the perfect Mint Julep.
The right ingredients are a must.
I have done my homework and the BEST mint by far is a variety of spearmint called appropriately
‘Kentucky Colonel’. Some mints can cause the drink to taste medicinal- almost menthol!
As well as the drinking vessel.
I have my old favorite silver julep cup and just discovered a beautiful new pewter cup at Ewin’s Dry Goods http://www.ewinsdrygoods.com/products/equestrian-pewter-julep-cup
( they have other VERY handsome sporting lifestyle gifts as well)
For more ideas of refreshing cocktails using mint, pop on over to my friend & designer Courtney Price Design and see her recent blog

New Additions & Updates: New Panel for Elk & New angling/shooting Lodges
It’s been awhile since I have sent a news update-
Plenty going on and a couple of new blog posts- and best of all- what you have been asking for-
A new panel for larger game like elk….so I will catch you up!
February and March found us in very drastic temperature changes.
Early February found us in the Yucatan catching our first Tarpon and Bonefish on a fly at the
wonderful Casa Blanca Lodge.
See our related blog post of this fantastic trip

Then March found us tromping after quail in unusual 26 degree snow & ice terrain at another wonderful lodge at
Upland Bird Country in Corsicanna, Tx
I finally found a shooting sweater that was good looking, warm and suited for ladies
so I did a guest gear review for Ultimate Upland Lodge magazine
And then….
My new design- a black forest style panel for elk and stag has arrived!
We introduced the new design at the Greater Houston Gun Club in a fundraising shoot benefitting
the
Museum of Fine Arts, Houston
Turns out—it makes a pretty fabulous mirror too! Shown here in the Blackberry finish.
I think I need to paint one of my dog portraits on a panel too!
Can’t you see one of your canine companions on a panel?
We are in the process of updating our website so we can better showcase all our new
sporting art & accessories like:
Our collection of Texas made shooting pens- here is the 30 Cal Bolt Action writing pen.
The action opens and closes the pen!
