Tonight is Halloween and a beautiful night it is! If I were dressing in a costume this year to "trick or treat", I think I would have to be an American Indian. Indian women were amazing and unlike the way they have been portrayed, they were very important in marriage and family. In Fredericksburg and the surrounding area there were many different Indian tribes. The one that was most feared was the Comanche Tribe. Above you will see a picture of several Comanche wives and their children. Check out their clothes, blankets and trim work on the fabric. This has been the inspiration for the fabrics and interior design for this house along with many other photos collected from the Smithsonian Museum. After much research, the European and German Pioneers, the American Indians, the Hill Country landscape and the influence of our Southern Spanish Neighbors all contributed to the inspiration for this home design.
Very interesting this photo because it shows an indian lady using socks.
