I'll admit that I'm a little biased; being a resident of the Lone Star State myself, I can't help but think it's pretty great. In creating this roundup, I made it my goal to find stylish, non-cheesy Texas stuff (because gosh knows there's a lot of cheesy Texas stuff out there). Did I succeed? You be the judge.

My wife and I are Texans and wanted to add some Lone Star heritage to our home in Connecticut and settled on a reproduction flag, not as overtly Texan as some but still with meaning us

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!
As a recent transplants to Philly from Houston, the BF and I have discovered how truly Texan we are.
"You don't know what Frito Pie is?!?!"
"You have to buy beer from special shops?!?"
"You don't know the MAGIC OF THE BREAKFAST TACO?!?!!"
Love all of these!!! Thank you, thank you for this post!!!
Oops...that should read: "As recent transplants..."
I love this stuff, and I think I would stock up on it if I ever, heaven help me, move away from Texas.
Heck, I live in Texas and have for all but 5 years of my life (parents being transferred out of state then coming back at the bookends of my elementary school years), and I still stock up on this stuff. My favorite recent find at a vintage store? A custom Sesquicentennial bowling ball - red, with a blue outline of the state on it and that "Texas" logo they used on all the merch for that event back in '86 in white. It actually fits my hand too, but I'm mostly using it as decor for the time being. :D (Yes, I'm a complete dork.)
It's so true how much we Texans love Texas. I was born and raised here. I've lived elsewhere and will never ever make that mistake again.
My husband and I always joke about the obligatory decor here. There is and forever will be a star somewhere in every Texan's home. My MIL recently came down from Michigan and was astonished to see a giant Texas flag painted on a barn roof...then on the side of a barn...then on the side of a building in town square...then we passed the local car dealership and she was sure the flag could cover her house like a blanket. Haha
Great collection. I am always inspired by gorgeous prints.
I'd be delighted to add my own 'Texas Forever' print on Etsy for people to consider as well. If you're a Friday Night Lights fan, all the better!

This is a great post. The "Come and Take It" Flag is a favorite of many Texans. People use it as decor in their homes. I may hang one over my door.
I lived in Texas for over ten years and now live in the Northeast and I love Texas stuff. Once you're a Texas you can never go back!
I LOVE this post. Texas forever <3.
