Sure, you can get normal-sized pillows.  But if the subject is “Texas,” only Ann’s Texas-sized pillow fits the bill.  It’s really a work of art; 3 needlework artists hand-embroidered for 3 months to create this masterpiece.  And it will take you all over the state!  Makes a wonderful present, $695, 28″ x 28″.  (Regular-sized pillows with Houston and Texas embroidery motifs are $199, 18″ x 18″.)

Small purses with lovely details give Western style a modern flair!  Each is tooled embossed leather and decorated uniquely with Swarovski crystals, turquoise and other stones, leather stitching and metalwork.  Straps are long ball chain with leather at the shoulder for comfort, or tuck the strap into the bag to carry as a small clutch.  There is enough space for your iPhone, lipstick, keys and credit card.   (So you’ll need to tuck your flask in your boot, gals.)  Handmade, $269 each.

Wondering what to do with the kids this summer?   Pick up a puzzle from Ann’s for $19.95.   Travel the Lone Star State, sail a boat, ride a motorcycle, visit the farm, or blast off in the Space Shuttle!  It’s an adventure just waiting to happen, and you don’t need bandwidth or videos.  Lots more to choose from…come get a puzzle for your family to enjoy from Ann’s!

You don’t have to dance to have Texas style (but it helps) if you swing a western bag across your shoulder.  This one is tooled leather with pockets and a longer, adjustable strap.  It fits comfortably across your body and holds all your stuff.   $99.50. 

New at Ann’s are some quirky and beautiful pieces for the home you can use yourself or give as gifts.  In the category, “for the person who has everything,” Annie Modica decoupaged pieces are artistic as well as functional.  Each is handmade and can be used as well as displayed.   Wouldn’t they look fine in your home?
