James Avery in Kerrville, TX

Sunday, November 23 continued

We found out that James Avery's corporate location was here in Kerrville.  The cross that I wear all the time, is starting to wear at the top where the ring holding the cross to the necklace goes.  I left it to be repaired.

To our surprise, the retail store was located on a compound and was open on Sunday.

This was the entrance to a 25 acre compound.

This building is the retail shop and visitors center.

We were allowed to walk around on the grounds.  It was a beautiful setting.  The building in this picture is the corporate offices building.  There were at least 5 other buildings we did not take pictures of.

Off to the side of the corporate offices building were 2 gazebos.  This is one of those.

This is the 2nd gazebo.  Both gazebos were outfitted with picnic tables & benches and large trash cans and hand cleanser dispensers. Gorgeous views!  There were even walking trails that we were invited to go on.

From the 2nd gazebo this is the view and the walking trail.  What a great place to work!

There was a small visitors area that showed the process of making the jewelry.  The following are the pictures Tic took of the area.

There was even a display of the first cross ever designed in 1954.  Then several designs that came in the next 20 years.  I discovered that one cross I have of my mother's was designed between 1960-1970.  

Fun day!  Heading home now.  I wore Tic out.
