She expects the business to keep growing as she is watching trends and market indicators to plan what is next for the store . According to her research , “ Texas is just a thriving market . The economy is pretty good overall . My background is in oil and gas and I watch those indicators . The economics point to a really strong spring especially if oil continues to rise above $ 50 .” But as far as design goes , she appreciates all of the different kinds of customers that are all available right here in Texas . She said , “ Texas is the gold standard , and we have all of the different styles , we have ranchy , beachy , big-city Dallas . Texas really has it all .”
Along with riding horses , rebuilding her home and planning for the future of her family ’ s business , Elizabeth and her husband are really excited about an upcoming addition to their family . She is pregnant with the baby due in March of 2017 . And although this Texas girl never considered leaving Texas , she ’ s balancing all of it , home , work and family .
