| First Monday in Canton Texas We also sell our products at First Monday in Canton. First Monday is a gigantic trade days that occurs in Canton on the Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday preceding the First Monday of each month. Over 250,000 people converge on this little East Texas town of normally about 5100 people to buy all kinds of treasures from over 10,000 vendors. The practice started over 150 years ago. Canton is the Van Zandt county seat and people would come from all over when the circuit judge came to town to dispense justice. It became a gathering time and people would buy, sell and trade everything from animals to guns and it has been happening ever since.
We are located in the Canton Marketplace pavilion at 1455 Hwy 19 on Aisle D in Booth 142. We hope you will visit us on your next trip to Canton. And if you have never been to Canton for First Monday, you have a treat in store for you. You can find out more about First Monday at www.cantontradedays.com.

When John and I are at a show, we hear the same comments over and over, but recently we heard them all at the same time. We had several women in our booth looking through the hundreds of boards we have available in hundreds of subjects. One of them exclaimed, “Isn’t this cute!” After a short time another held up a board and said, “This is too cute!”, then the third one showed one she liked and said, “This one is really cute!” So John and I now say that we make our products in three styles: cute, too cute and really cute. We hope your purchase will bring a smile to your face and that you will come and visit with us often.

We are a small "Mom and Pop" operation and our greatest pleasure comes from feedback from our satisfied customers. 
In our “other life” John was an engineer and I was a Human Resources Manager. We retired from Houston and now live in the country on two acres about 4 miles east of a beautiful little town in East Texas called Canton. To the left of the house you can see our shop where I make the boards and push pins. John is very talented, and in his part of the shop he makes many things for the business and our home. John is a very good golfer and that is what he does when he is not doing our bookwork or shop work.
