Although Carol and Harvey Ford have been building birdhouses for thirty years, they have only been coming to First Monday from Lincoln, Texas, to sell their homemade martin houses in Trade Center IV for two years. Originally, the houses were constructed from wood, but are now made of durable, weatherproof PVC, which makes them much lighter to lift and carry.  Not only do they build birdhouses for songbirds, they have a selection of bat houses too. 

 

 

'As long as people have horses,

 there's always going to be a market for saddles'

"Saddle John" Morgan of Terrell, Texas, says he's living proof that "you don't have to grow up."

For the past 14 years, he's been selling hand-made saddles from the same corner in the Original First Monday Park. In March, he figured it as 168 First Monday Trade Days.

"I've made saddles for country-western stars, rodeo stars, and famous restaurants and dance halls," he said. "But, right here on the First Monday grounds is where I fit in best."

Saddle John, as his fellow vendors have come to know him, says he will spend anywhere from 70 hours to 300 hours between Trade Days weekends crafting one saddle. "It's an Old West look for a modern-day horse," he said.
