"It is the sweet, simple things of life which are the real ones after all."
Laura Ingalls Wilder
The flavors of salty and sweet mingle with gorgeous hues of aqua blue and bright cherry red like candy for the eyes in this issue. Our sensory-filled tour includes the salty visitor center in Grand Saline, the Caribbean-hued Miss Ashley's Loft of Edom, and the richly-colored Christmas trees now on display at the Michelson Museum of Art.

We conclude the issue with some real flavor — recipes for The Best Cranberry Sauce and Cranberry Brie Bites from The Rose Table cookbook.

Visit the County Line eMagazine and our Food + Drink section for great recipes with more flavors from the Upper East Side of Texas. — Lisa Tang

Miss Ashley's Loft Provides Front-Row View of Edom
Along the downtown main street of the artists village of Edom, Texas, sits a bright aqua-blue, two-story building that used to be a gas station with an upstairs apartment. Old timers of the area remember Miss Ashley who ran the station and lived there for decades.

In 2019 artists Kerian Massey, Randy Martin, and Tristan Rhys opened the Edom Art Emporium on the first floor representing 30 or so area artists, and hold regular exhibits and events.

With the apartment upstairs vacant, Rhys and Martin decided to spruce it up and make it available for visitors to rent for a day or longer. They named the place for Miss Ashley. READ MORE.
