Hey to my friends and pickle people! I got back into the State Fair of Texas!!! Remember last year I could't enter becuse I was considered a professional since I was in a few stores. Not fair. I won 1 blue ribbon on the hamburger sliced pickles and 2 3rd place ribbons. Grand total is 61 ribbons now!!! I didn't know I could enter until about a week before the deadline. So I threw it all together and they didn't even have time to "sit". I'm selling my products from my house now. If you want anything please call me. I've heard from a lot of my customers that you can't find me. I'm here and live right off the square in Granbury. I can meet you , mail them , or you can come get what you want. I'm out of pickles and okra but going to be pickling this Thursday. Please call first. 817-368-7257

Well I’m sad to say that Charlee’s and Bee Healthy had to close their doors. If my friends or pickle people want my products please get in touch with me. I had decided that I needed to get out of stores the same week they closed. I’m old — ok!! Loading and unloading was getting harder. I have pickles, okra, and lots of vegetables. I will keep making them as long as my customers still want them. Cindy the pickle lady/wueen. 817-368-7257

Well here is my baby girl on the front page of the Hood County News!! She won the contest!! She is being very humble about it but not her mama. This little girl is the most affectionate and sensitive baby I’ve ever had. If she wakes up in the morning before I do she puts her little paws on my chest and gives me kisses and lays her head on my face wanting me to kiss her back. She knows the names of all our family and friends. If I or anyone is sick or upset she goes right to them and is in their face obsessively kissing whoever it is. I noticed that about her but ask my friend Tracy. There has been 2 times Miss Prissy tried her best to help her. If you met her you would love her too!!
I’m still doing the pickles. My next door neighbor Kristy, Bob, Cayden, and Skylar helped me and we made about 82 jars Wednesday. Got to restock the stores I’m in!!! I will be making the chow chow real soon because it has become so popular and sold out at the stores!! It might become my best seller over the pickles and okra— who knows!!! I put just about every vegetable you can think of in the chow chow. Let me know if you want to try it??!!

Well I don't like writing this post but I need to. I won't be able to enter the State Fair of Texas anymore and I'm sad about it. I know some of ya'll went to the fair every year and looked for my name, took pictures and sent them to me. I loved that!! I packed up my jars and mailed them to the fair. This is the first time I have ever mailed them and it cost me about $90. I have talked to a lady there for 15 years and she called me to tell me I can't enter anymore because I'm considered a professional now and not a amateur because I sell my pickled products in stores. I am still sad about it. It was a challenge and so exciting to see if I could win another ribbon. I have won every year since 2009 totaling 56 ribbons!! I even started hanging the frames on the ceiling because I ran out of room on the walls. If I find any other contest in this area I will enter again. A lot of people have asked me to make a chow chow and I finally did. It has every vegetable you can think of chopped up. I made it many years ago and Rick kept saying "that's not chow chow"! Entered it in the fair and won a ribbon !! Guess I showed him haha!! It's Cindy's version of chow chow and sooo good on a hot dog, in beans, and on crackers and cheese. It was one of my entries this year. A lot of people drink my juice because it's very healthy and I have cancer patients that drink it because they crave the salt. Another really good product of mine is the pickled onions! OMG!! They are crunchy sweet onions. People would come up to my booth at the Texas Country Reporter Festival and say "I don't like onions", I talked them into tasting them and wow -- they bought a jar! I've heard that people cook with them and grill them. Try a jar!!! If you put my pickles in a tuna or chicken sandwich, deviled eggs, potato salad you won't believe how my pickles change the flavor. Also, if ya'll didn't see the article in Hood County News about Ronny Dunn of Brooks and Dunn (Boot Scootin Boogie!!!) ordering a case of my okra please read it! I even have a picture of him and his wife holding a jar of my okra. Now that was exciting!!! I'm still The Pickle Lady/Queen on to bigger things I hope??!!!

Hey pickle people, if you are looking for my pickled products they are at Bee Healthy and Willow Lane here in Granbury and My Personal Chef in Aledo!! I’m no longer in Bridge St. Market. I’ve had a few people tell me that Bridge St. Market is not telling people the stores I’m in. I thought small businesses would be happy to help each other out. Guess not!???
