Exciting Features for 2011 THE TEXAS GOVERNOR’S MANSION
The Houston Theta Alumnae Chapter was honored when we learned that the Board of Directors of The Friends of the Governor's Mansion had chosen the 2011 Theta Charity Antiques Show to commemorate Texas' 175th Anniversary, its Terquasquicentennial. Our loan exhibit will showcase selected antique treasures from the Texas Governor's Mansion collection. This is a unique opportunity to see things that rarely leave the Mansion and we are thrilled to share this unprecedented opportunity to view museum-quality antiques with fellow Houstonians and visitors.
MARTHA STEWART
The Theta Charity Antiques Show welcomes TV Host, author and dining/entertaining extraordinaire Martha Stewart to this year’s show lineup. From her award-winning magazine to her bestselling product lines, Martha Stewart shares the creative principles and practical ideas that have made her America’s most trusted guide to stylish living.
