Pumpkins piled high, sweeping boughs of bittersweet, great folk art and lots of southern hospitality await you this Fall at the Hodges Farm Country Sale. Fall is our favorite time of the year and we have everything to dress your home for the season, says show managers Carol Turner and Dawn Hodges. Together they have been producing their Country Sale for over 10 years, and it just gets bigger and better every season. This year they added a large tent to accommodate the more than 40 dealers that bring loads of the best country antiques available.
Although Fall decorating items dominate the show, the Hodges 1860 log cabin also showcases Christmas decorations, many hand made right here in the good ole U S of A. Ornaments, linens, santas, snowmen, angels, garlands, trees, and everything one could possibly need are offered.
Visitors will also find sunflowers, gourds, jack-o-lanterns, dried garlands, bittersweet, sweet annie, candles and much more. Antique country furniture with emphasis on original finishes, farmhouse treasures, primitives, baskets, crocks, bowls and old time favorites are also highlighted.
This unique venue specializes in one of a kind handcrafted folk art and handmades. This year Frank Bielec, of Trading Spaces on TLC, and wife Judy, will be back with more of their original creations. They will be demonstrating many of the wonderful techniques they have mastered on Tuesday, September 29th, during the shows opening day celebration. Frank and Judy both are talented folk artists, each having their own niche. They love to visit and share their expertise.
Mildred Todd will be back with her fabulous hand made baskets. She will be weaving on the first day and visitors can sign up for lessons. Her baskets sold like hot cakes last show.
Excitement is high as Jill Peterson, of Frontier Homestead will be on site with her new book. She will be signing books all day on opening Tuesday. The book gives a private tour of many wonderful primitive and country homes from all over the country.
Blacksmith T. Hines will appear on opening Tuesday with his forge fired up and hammering out some great iron items.
Hodges Farm opens on Tuesday, September 29 and continues through Saturday, October 3. They open at 8 am and stay open late. There is no admission fee and there is plenty of close parking. The farm is located 30 minutes from Round Top and ten minutes south of Brenham on Hwy 36. If you have never been there before, make this a priority, as the show abounds with hospitality, authentic antiques, and a gorgeous country setting. Come and sit awhile and soak up some good old country atmosphere.
