Warrenton/Round Top Antiques Week


Last Saturday, I drove to my sister’s in Austin so that we could go together to the Warrenton/Round Top Antiques Show.

My niece  joined us on Sunday as we braved the sun and 103-degree heat.  The wind and dirt were blowing like crazy and a severe  drought continues.  After only a few minutes, our faces were coated with so much dirt is felt a bit like sandpaper.  Despite the really miserable conditions we had a great time tromping around
in the fields from tent to tent. 
 Everything imaginable was available!

HGTV was there with a crew and  are planning a special on the show in October.  There was a notice at their tent (which, of course, was empty when we were there) that anything said are done in the area would was subject to being recorded by audio and video equipment.   Maybe thay had some secret cameras for “candid camera” segments.   We were careful what we said and
did while we were there.





Sunday evening, Theresa, a very gracious hostess, of Garden  Antqs Vintage  held a Blog Party and it was fun meeting a few other bloggers.   If you have never met Theresa, be sure to stop by her blog.  She always has great posts!  While we were there I took a few shots of her booth!
















Teresa and my sister,  Donna 

We were back again on Monday and we stayed both days until everyone was closing up. 

Did I tell you that we all found some really neat things and the SUV  was loaded down both days?

Reminder:  Potpourri Friday!   Link up begins Thursday afternoon.

    What a great time I bet...I just did that same thing with my sister in Brimfield. Only HGTV wasn't there. What a nice booth Theresa had. I just love meeting up with friends I 've met on line.
    Thank you once again for hosting this wonderful party,

    I just discovered your blog and we certainly like the same things. I was just in Austin too only a week early and Theresa told me of places to go while there. She is one of the sweetest gals. Glad you had a good time. It was HOT! Those girls really do earn every dime they make!
