Texas Aprons

Texas' southern location allows it to have a longer grilling season.
Even when you are inside and cooking, an apron is a helpful tool in the kitchen too.
These Texas aprons are classic. There is even a very cute one designed for the ladies.

Texas Capitol Ornaments

One thing I love about Christmas in Texas is the ornaments that are put out for Capitol conservation and maintenance programs. These ornaments have been collectors items since they came out in 1996. Each year they create a new Texas Capitol Ornament that focuses on a single element in the Capitol building.  This year the ornament is designed to look like the chandeliers that hang in the Capitol.
Here is a picture of the ornament:                                   

And here is one of the actual chandeliers:
