WORK
"You never outgrow selling
at the smallest flea market."
|
Richard and Linda Hamilton have been
bending and welding steel since 1988. Their work is created by
hand and many pieces are one-of-a-kind. They describe their style as
whimsical, fun and uncommon. Most pieces have a horticultural
flare, but the couple enjoys the "folky-country" look as well.
Most of the material they work with is
"new." However, they incorporate old metal and tin whenever found.

Annually, Texas Trash & Treasures
participates in over 20 shows throughout the country. You can find
them at a variety of venues, including flea markets, craft shows,
wholesale markets - and the biggest flower show in America!
Recently, Texas Trash won 2nd Place for booth design at the
Philadelphia Flower Show.

FAITH
"We are definitely on a journey, learning
daily how to "deny self" and "grow up" as believers."
|
The Gospel was introduced to Richard and
Linda in 1992. They accepted Jesus as their Savior at that time -
"personal" savior, that is!
They are members of
Oak Street Baptist Church in
Elizabethton, TN.
Richard and Linda hope to one day be
involved in a "serious" ministry - maybe hiring felons to work who might
otherwise have a tough time finding employment (just a thought).

VISION
"The life of a nomad - it is getting old!" |
Perhaps a store? The couple
has been searching for the perfect "quirky" location for over two years.
"We're not giving up. We believe it is in Texas, somewhere!"
Maybe the new store will be called
