dexter house fruit bowls

on a road trip to southwest texas, there were votive candles purchased at a supermarket near the border in presidio. that was such an interesting and unforgettable experience. we were definitely in foreign territory. somehow i got to bring home the candles, maybe because i picked them out (clearly it was me, because there is a saint on a horse on one and a variety of small animals on the other). they have since faded, because they are sitting on my front porch.

every time i see the candles on the table at the dexter house, which if i'm not mistaken were purchased at the HEB on oltorf & congress, i am reminded of that morning, driving around the border, searching for firewood.
