The Velvet Bridge
by
Anita Stubbs
This true-to-life rags to riches tale, my first novel, is set during WWII and could have actually happened if not for one thing: Mattie Featherstone never existed, other than between the covers of this 381-page book. But the lifestyles, the culture of the time, and some of the places ring so true, you'll wonder. It's classic 1940's, Dallas, Texas, in and around Oak Cliff.
Too young to be
widowed and too pretty to be alone, Mattie Featherstone is both. Suddenly
impoverished, this confused, tormented woman abandons her children and seeks
refuge in an encampment for vagrants situated near the Trinity River on the
west side of Dallas during World War II.
When a twist-of-fate encounter eases Mattie out of destitution into the
genteel world of her paper doll dreams, she manages to conceal the truth
about her past from her benefactors. She even justifies - in her own mind -
the abandonment of her daughters.
However, everything changes when yet another unforeseen event turns her life
into sensational headline news, revealing more than even she could imagine.

I'm busy these days going to estate and yard sales, and any other place I can think of to find interesting items to list for sale or auction. I am always looking for collectibles and hard to find, out of print books. On the first of every month, I always list a good array of how-to and crafting books, as varied as there are kinds of crafts. The Velvet Bridge, my own novel, is listed as well, along with a variety of my own handmade pretties.
So, come on over and check out my stuff.
You might find something you just can't live without!
