This past weekend, Mark, Chance and I popped up to Bowie Trade Days. For those of you who aren’t from the south, trade days are similar to a trade market – a place where merchants could come together for a big outdoor market to sell various wares (flea market style) for willing customers.
Mom, a.k.a. Dusty Rose, has a new booth up there. Most of you know that she is an artist, and is always dreaming up some new type of creation guaranteed to make people ooh and aaah.
She loves, loves, loves cowboy and cowgirl things so is having a ball creating new collage art on tin with old-style, vintage photos. Since my dad is native american, and I resonate so closely with the spirit of my dad’s heritage, I found myself magnetized to one of mom’s latest creations – it is so simple,yet I found myself wanting this so much! This collage features a native american family and ALL of them are smiling! It perfectly matches the feeling I have when I meet with the grandmothers or the grandfathers… true resonance for oneness.
True to mom… she sent me home with this wonderful creation, an extra big antique-style heart for the back fence (watch for a post about the back fence in a few days), and two jalapeno pepper plants – all her gift to me. What a wonderful Easter to imagine a world where we are all one… and to feel that so much too.
This song reminded me of the rusty, dusty cowgirl as she refers to herself… love you mom. And, for those of you who don’t know Sara Hickman… wow… talk about a SAINT. She is one of my very favorite people in the whole entire world. What a HUGE heart she has for loving everyone!
Plus… WHEN my book comes out… she is in my book too!
