Summer is here, and I have several antique shows scheduled. I will be set up at The Big Red Barn in Round Top June 27 and 28, so come see my booth and visit. As always, I will be heading off on some buying trips in search of wonderful old treasures, with a trip to England scheduled in August.
October will find me in Tulsa, Oklahoma, at the Arabian Horse National Championships, where I will have a large booth filled with old horse treasures, October 23-31.

Canine and equine antiques are a specialty and I'm always looking for the finest horse and dog things I can find. I have been collecting decorative tins for over 30 years, so you'll always find a good selection of old biscuit, toffee and mustard tins in my shop. But my collections and interests are varied, so there is no telling what I might find, and offer on Ruby Lane.

A lifelong horsewoman, my husband and I own a horse farm outside Houston, with over 80 horses in residence. He is a horse trainer and judge, while I mostly concentrate on my antiques these days. I travel both here and abroad searching for wonderful treasures, and I have a booth at antique shows and horse shows across the country. I'm set up every Spring and Fall on the back aisle of the Big Red Barn, part of the original Round Top Antique Fair. I love to offer interesting and unusual pieces of quality at reasonable prices. My Ruby Lane shop has just a small sampling of my inventory, if you are looking for something specific, do let me know. And of course, I am always looking to buy the interesting and unusual, so contact me if you have something fabulous to sell. And do follow me on Twitter, I am, of course, DexterGrass.
