ABOUT US
Welcome!
A little about us...
Bret and Kimber Black are a ranching family originally from the Central Coast of California. Nine years ago, they made the bold decision to relocate their family and cattle ranch to Texas, where they have continued to pursue their passion for ranching.
Sincerely,Alongside raising their children in the heart of Texas ranch country, Bret and Kimber discovered a love for vintage and antique ranch items—a passion that eventually connected them with Kathy and Susi, the original founders of the esteemed Three Speckled Hens Vintage Market & Antique Show.
In Weatherford, the Blacks immerse their children in the ranching lifestyle, teaching them the values of hard work, resilience, and a deep respect for the land. The family enjoys exploring abandoned properties, clearing the land of remnants from the past, and bringing these forgotten treasures back to life. Kimber, with her love for all things old, carefully curates these items for the market, ensuring that each piece carries with it a story and a piece of history.
Together, Bret and Kimber blend their love for ranching and antiques, creating a life that honors the past and tells a story for future generations, both in their work and in raising their family!
You may find their unique Texas Finds in The Vintage Farm and Ranch booth at one of the events. Alongside a spectacular line up of local vintage and antique dealers.
Thank you for being here!

Meet the OG Hens!
They’ve been called 'those chicken ladies,’ ‘the bird show ladies’ and, of course, ‘The Hens.’
So who are these ladies and what makes them tick?

Susi
Susi grew up going to antique auctions in Los Angeles with her mother and grandmother, and there was never a road trip or vacation in her youth that didn’t include stops for treasure—be it road-side or antique shops. In her early married life, Susi’s tract home in Newport Beach was filled with vintage farmhouse décor, right down to chicken wire fronts on the kitchen cabinets.
Imagine her joy when moving to Paso Robles in 1992 gave her the opportunity to live on a real farm, in a real farmhouse that was built in 1887. Restoring the property that had been abandoned for many years was a long journey, but one the entire family took part in and learned and grew from.
Now a home for four generations of family, Susi’s passion for antiques and vintage is evident throughout. This passion continues to be passed down and shared with her children and grandchildren.

Kathy
Kathy can’t remember not being attracted to old things. She clearly remembers living back east and touring countless Early American museums and historical landmarks. Kathy met her husband, Nick, in college and found a kindred spirit. Nick had his loose change in an old crock, collected old keys and loved anything with a history.
After several years in the San Francisco Bay Area, Nick and Kathy decided to “go home” to his family’s ranch in the Santa Lucia mountain range of the beautiful Central Coast. Living on the family ranch is a dream come true; old barns, a beautiful late 1800’s farmhouse (unfortunately, it was lost in the 2003 earthquake), a smattering of old out-buildings, hand-hewn fence posts and livestock. Kathy’s collection and love of primitive antiques, vintage wares and anything old and rusty was allowed to grow out of proportion. Starting the Three Speckled Hens Antiques and Old Stuff Shows was a natural progression of Kathy’s collecting bug.
With the help of her sons, Kathy continues to run the cattle ranch. One of Kathy’s greatest joys is watching the sixth generation of her family work on the ranch and teaching her nine grandchildren about the history and love of family antiques and old found objects.
