Turn South at the Second BridgeIn this little gem of a book Leon Hale reacquaints us with the back road individualists who have given Texas much of its character over the past century.

In this little gem of a book Leon Hale reacquaints us with the back road individualists who have given Texas much of its character over the past century.
A novelist and columnist for fifty years, Hale has built his reputation on an exceptionally smooth writing style combined with a sharp eye for what's unusual and remarkable hidden among the otherwise ordinary people and places of Texas, for example, the alligator that slept by the stove at Scheller's Place; the ghost of Fiddler's Island; or the billboard newspaper of Tillie Roome.
Turn South at the Second Bridge chronicles a world that abounds with surprises. Check out Virge Whitfield, who combined wisdom with a limitless love of dogs; or Pat Craddock, whose skill at cooking whiskey cost him a leg; or Jack Hillhouse, the one-armed giant beach-dweller who had an unusual way of obtaining fresh eggs. Hale takes us along with him, down winter beaches from Galveston to Port Aransas, deep into the Piney Woods of East Texas, through the bottom lands of the Trinity, the Brazos, and the Colorado Rivers, as he searches for the unique characters who inhabit the part of Texas you don't find in guide books.


Many of the places and most of the people chronicled in this delightful Texas classic have vanished by now, and we are the poorer for it. Fortunately for us, however, Hale has captured with warm affection the language and spirit of this memorable part of his state's social and oral history, in the shape of stories and characters you won't forget.

Extremely fine shimmer- the air bulb works well for application- Even and controllable
Color: Late Autumn
This is a great way to apply a very fine sparkle. The shimmer is very very finely ground and it sprays out evenly with this air bulb. It does have a lid so there's no chance on it getting everywhere unless you leave the lid off. It also comes with a little plug in the hole so there's two mechanisms there to keep the glitter in the bottle when not in use it's very easy to use and apply and the spray pattern is very even. I got the golden shimmer which looks great with a tan or if you have warmer undertones in your skin. It doesn't require any sort of setter or glue + doesn't have any fragrance. It's a small bottle so it doesn't take up a lot of room.

Exceeded My Expectations
Size: 1PCS, Color: Holo Silver
Love love LOVEEE. I feel like a fairy! You only need a short spritz to get a perfect amount of glitter. The sparkles are beautiful, rainbowy and long lasting. I sprayed some on me yesterday and it's still going strong. It dries quickly and really gets those sparkles down. Even if you rub the part of you that's been glittered, it sticks! It doesn't even have a chemically smell, it's kind of flowery? Which I totally didn't expect. However I would recommend spraying yourself outside because the glitter gets all over the house. Unfortunately (or fortunately) my floor will forever be glittered.

Really pretty sparkle!
Size: 1PCS, Color: Gold
I actually bought this product (one can) so I could spray this on my small area of frog ornaments and rocks by our pool. *The product does not state it is intended for craft use. I am very okay with that. Being in Arizona with sun and wind, I wasn’t sure how this would work, turns out what little I did do, (I was afraid my bottle would run out), did a nice job! Half the glitter I sprayed survived a serious thunderstorm we had one night a week or two ago! I did end up spraying some glitter on my arm, it’s really pretty, subtle, small size glitter, but definitely noticeable outside. You can make your layers as thin or thick as you like. The glitter comes out of the can like hairspray. Very faint smell that will go away within 5-10 minutes, depending on much you use.  I will definitely be purchasing more of this item in more colors in the future.

Must buy!!
Size: 1PCS, Color: Holo Silver, Size: 1PCS, Color: Holo Silver
After carefully looking at the reviews, I ended up purchasing the silver holographic body glitter spray. I immediately sprayed it on my arm, and it blasted my arm full of glitter! I wiped my arm and already dried down! I can’t wait to spray this in my hair and see how long this can last, but I’m definitely buying more with a different variety of colors. Definitely worth the money. I’m obsessed! I will say that if you don’t want glitter everywhere then spray outside.
