I stumbled on these gorgeous graphic pieces at the fall show in 2011. Aren’t they AMAZING? Ann and Dennis of Dennis and Dad Antiques at Marburger Farm brought them from Maine. Originally these were pieces of large patterns used to weave coverlets. Dated from the 60s, these are entirely hand drawn and, I’ll say it [...]
I must admit, as a vintage lover, I’m almost embarrassed to admit that I only learned about the word “assemblage” at the Fall 2011 show. It’s really all because of this amazing woman, Diane Matula. She’s the owner of Perfectly Flawed Fragments, a sweet and nostalgic store in New Ulm, Texas. She shows every year [...]
I was seriously floored & unprepared to go to the Round Top-Marburger Antiques Show this past Spring. I went to the Winter show & although I thought that was big already, the Spring show is 10x, if not 20x the size of that. It’s 10 or so towns selling crafts, handmade stuff, curiosities & antiques [...]
I had a little chat with Andrea at the Texas Rose in Round Top, Texas. Tweet
I met Donnell at Blue Hill. He and his partner have wonderful garden-architectural furniture and accessories. The styling is spot on! Check out the awesome table Donnell made about of an old book press. Tweet
Every time the show rolls around, I start planning my “look”. If you are a veteran of the show then you are well aware that many of us take the show as an opportunity to get a little, shall we say, creative with our wardrobes. I have seen all sorts of boots, gowns, tutus, aprons, [...]

We ran into the lovely ladies from One Kings Lane several times while making the rounds this past fall. As they are constant purveyors of gorgeous home goods, its nice to know we shop in the same places! We found this cute little video about their time at RT this past fall and wanted to [...]

[Photos: Paula Forbes / Eater Austin] Check this out! A recipe card box from Royer’s Round Top Cafe. Pie is one of those things that can be so delicious and yet so, for some reason so very, very difficult to find done right, and perhaps that’s why so many people from both Austin and Houston, and far [...]
I’m sure you got it right away, Burlamp is a play of words between Burlap, that coarse, woven fabric made from jute plant & lamp. And yes, aside from using it in coffee & grain sacks, burlap has made it way into all things decorative, from pillows to ottomans and wall art for a rustic [...]

So, who loves 2012′s Pantone Color of the Year? Well, let me just say bright & cheerful is in this year…Tangerine Tango sounds like a Carribean resort to me. Way back ten years ago, our living room was this bold, deep hue. I’d like to think we were ahead of the times but truly, I [...]
When it comes to props and set styling, I have a thing or two {actually lots to learn} from this amazing woman, Judy, of J. Hill Designs. Her booth, work and products were one of my favorites at the Marburger show. Every vignette is completely thought of, the styling is cohesive and the merchandising superb! [...]
If there are stylish gals, there are stylish guys too! Aside from antique shopping, the Roundtop – Marburger show is a Mecca for people watching and yes, hunk sightings. Here you go… Hmmm, I know I’m missing more snapshot or I was getting shameful feeling/looking like a stalker haunting these guys. Hey, it comes with [...]
When most people think of antique shopping, they picture old women in their moomoos admiring the gorgeous stuff of yesteryear. Well, to the contrary, vintage and antique shoppers and enthusiasts are stylish men and women who despite the dusty roads, the grueling humidity and the stress of reasoning over & over again “Should I get [...]
When I am headed out to the show for a fun day of shopping, chatting, digging and journaling, I have a short list of 10 things I absolutely must not forget. I’ve decided to share this with you so that, hopefully, you don’t find yourself learning the hard way, like I did! 10 Things To [...]
