    Fort Davis, Texas Post Card

    Almost Spring Break in West Texas~ March, the first month of Spring, when the Calendar finally makes it official, and when everyone from families of school age children to college students take advantage of some time off to explore, is upon us. In West Texas, we will be ready to greet the many tourists that seek out this wild and wide open corner of the Lone Star State. Spring Break is a divider for us. The wind is still wild, the weather still changeable and unpredictable, but wildflowers and tree buds are showing up everywhere,…

    [New] Beginnings

    Crystal window

    New Year, New Dreams & Goals I can’t believe we’re already over half way through January 2023! However, that’s what the calendar is telling me, so I guess I just have to go along. In order to meet at least one of my goals for this year, I had better get this post written and published. I hope to be more forthcoming and interactive with my online presence this year. That means at least two Posts on this Blog every month.

    Wishing a Happy Thanksgiving

    Happy Thanksgiving

    Ode to the Food Holiday I can’t believe it’s almost Thanksgiving. However, it feels like winter outside in Fort Davis, Texas as I write this, so I guess I shouldn’t be surprised.  We at Somewhere Over the Rainbow would like to tell you all how much we appreciate you. We are Thankful and Grateful indeed.  And we want to wish everyone the best and happiest Thanksgiving, in whatever form you like to spend it.  For me, it is undoubtedly one of my favorite Holidays, and not only because it is a Food Holiday, though that figures…

    Essential Aromatics

    Over the Rainbow Texas

    It always makes me feel good when customers come into the shop and immediately ask what ‘smells so good?‘ Truth is, there are all sorts of great smelling goodies at Somewhere Over the Rainbow.  We carry a wide selection of incense, resins, candles, room and linen sprays, and the very versatile, Essential Oil. And this is the main reason the shop always smells (and I think, Feels as well, so Good). I have a diffuser that I use daily, choosing the Oil not only to smell good, but often to address our moods or how we’re…

    Go WEST

    Go WEST

    Here’s another post featuring a nearby #Small Business that we at Somewhere Over the Rainbow loves.  WEST is amazing! An Antique and Vintage shop just packed with trinkets, treasures and the unexpected. It’s every bit as offbeat and eclectic (maybe even more so ;-))  as we are and so much fun to visit. I could spend hours and still not take it all in. Join me today for a pictorial tour that doesn’t even begin to show you all there is to see at WEST. The Guadalupan Lady WEST. Fort Davis Located in the heart…

    Just West of the Rainbow

    Just West

    Seeing Past the Fear We come into Spring in West Texas, an unsettled time of year at best, in the midst of yet another unsettled situation. These last few years have wore on everyone— from Corona Virus or Covid, to an election that threatened to tear this country apart, and now a War half-way around the world— this country (and so many others) are stressed and divided beyond anything in recent history. I have thought deeply about this of late, and I am saddened that during a period when it seems that people should be…
