2 Night Stay at Seco Valley Ranch's Rustic Cabin
Seco Valley's Rustic CabinRelax, kickback and take it easy for 2 nights. Enjoy the peace, beautiful Hill Country terrain, take nature walks or just sit and watch the wildlife.

Seco ValleyThe Seco Valley Ranch consists of 1883 low-fenced acres in the Hill Country of Medina County, located 8 miles southwest of Tarpley, Texas. The terrain varies from rough and brushy limestone hills to open pasture broken by live oak motts with plenty of underbrush. The ranch is located on the Balcones Escarpment where the Edwards Plateau oak and juniper savanna, meets the South Texas Brush Country. Vegetation is a mix of species common to the two areas. Several wet-weather creeks run through the property and nine livestock/wildlife watering sites are spaced through eight pastures.

Dancing Waters Inn2 Night Stay at the Dancing Waters Inn at Jacob's Well in Wimberly, Texas. The stay would be for one house two nights for 4-6 people.
Step into a magical relaxing environment of lush meadows painted with wildflowers.

Imagine the white-tailed doe delicately picking her way past you, sitting on the screen porch, as she guides her fawns to a drink of the pure waters of the Well.

This is not a dream, but a real place, where you, too, can escape the pressures of life and relax back into the welcoming arms of Mother Nature.

Donated by David Baker of Dancing Waters Inn.


Photo Session for either Your Ranch or You by Peggy Cole
Photography by Peggy ColeAlways wanted a professional photographer to "shoot" your ranch, farm, animals or . . .? Here is your chance! With your winning bid, Peggy Cole will spend a half day session photographing your choice of subjects. Maybe a series of landscapes, a building or two and some people, pets and livestock portraits that you can put together in a book. Or maybe a photo collage or a photo with everyone and everything in the same picture. Or really anything you want.

You will receive a CD with all the shots and whatever Photoshop collage creations that you can talk Peggy into. You can then take the CD to any photo lab for prints of any size.

Due to the current fuel prices, you will need to pay for Peggy's mileage.









Wall Hanging by Christina Allday-BondyA Healthy Texas Whole - Quilted Wall Hanging by Christina Allday-Bondy

Fabrics and creatures were chosen to suggest a vibrant, diverse ecosystem supporting humans, domestic and wild animals. Sheep, horses, cattle, pigs, ducks and chickens; barn, house and fence were pieced among prints of wolves/coyotes, insects and owl. It is a 100% cotton wall quilt, machine-pieced and quilted, with hand embroidered details. Hand wash about twice a year for thorough dust removal. May be hung from a length of well-sanded and finished 1" lathe or a cafe curtain rod.
