Yes...the REAL ROUND TOP! I am just thrilled to have gone to Round Top, Texas for the most amazing antiques hunt ever! If you don't know about Round Top...it is a compilation of more than 35 different antique shows with thousands of dealers from EVERYWHERE held in the middle of no-where between Austin and Houston Texas.
For nearly 2 weeks (twice a year)...dealers and shoppers and shop-owners who are shopping and dealing tolerate mid-90-degree Texas heat for the sake of vintage junk (and not junk) that is irresistible.
I set off for 8-days with my girlfriends Bonnie, Cheryl & Kadee for a "girlcation". Sadly, I had to leave after only 3 days into it ~ a price which (someone who will remain nameless) will pay for in a big way someday! Needless to say, there aren't as many photographs as I wanted to share.
This first post about Round Top showcases my hunt for Robins Egg Blue treasures. This chippy painting cutting board was right up my alley!
This blue-painted vintage iron bed was screaming my name...at $5,500!
Whereas, this barely blue armoire was only $3,200. Where are the bargains? But isn't it lovely!
A great bed...and much more reasonable than $5,500!
The 100 drawer x 100 drawer cabinet (below) was just $225. I seriously considered it...wondering how many days it takes to drive from Round Top back to Portland. Note to self: NEXT TIME...BRING TRUCK!
So lovely...the perfect blue...
Some of the displays were just so magical - perfect for photographing!
A picture frame shadow box in the background...painted my fave color!
