During our Fall Collection shoot in Marathon, we got to meet practically
all 500 people that live within the city limits. Whether it was to see if we
could get some shots on their old rickety barn fence or during one of our (many) food finds.
.
Everything from yummy thin crust at Guzzi's Pizza, to the famous 12 Gagerestaurant, to maybe a drink or two at The White Buffalo Bar, kept our metabolisms rolling and our energy level high for a full week.

So when a local mentioned there was a bakery on Main Street "famous" for their fried pies, well we just HAD to check that out! And thank goodness we did. Apricot, apple, blueberry, mincemeat and many more all natural, handmade empanada-like-works-of-art fill Shirley's Burnt Biscuit and take it from us: you need these in your life.
.
Good thing they ship!
.
Jacquelin and Don, gave us a VIP (Very Idealistic Pies) backstage tour of the kitchen where these little morsels of goodness are formed, fried, and shipped.
..
Like we said, THEY CAN SHIP TO YOU!
Call them for your next party or event!
(Also, look for a spread on the Burnt Biscuit in
Texas Monthly in the near future!)

Mmm… My husband and I are living in SC so very far from our family and friends in TX. Wouldn’t it be lovely for some of them to ship us a down-home memory like this! Fried. Pie. Fruit filling. Sweet icing. Can almost taste the delectable…

Cheryl if you’re calling tomorrow…aren’t we due for a meeting between the two of us! I’m craving these little mouth watering things!
Our design inspiration comes in all shapes and sizes, in all forms, and from all angles. The Heritage Departure collections were born out of wanderlust. This transitional collection plays with colors and silhouettes that work beautifully in summer, fall, and beyond.
As the saying goes, “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure”, and no one brought more truth to that phrase than Santo Domingo Pueblo jewelry artisans. These masterpieces were made from whatever they could find.

We’ve gotta hand it to you ladies – you know what you like! While you live for a line launch and love to see what’s new, you also have some tried-and-true styles that we can count on to be fan favorites. Here are a few tops that always top the list. (i.e. Better act fast)
