The two things just don't go well together!
I must tell you that this is called
because they have antiques there.
There are some new things.... but not many...
it's NOT Canton, Texas.
But I don't believe I've ever gone the "first week...."
known as "Preview Week" before.
I prefer the 2nd week when everything is open.
So ...it was hard and a little disappointing....
I did manage to buy a few treasures tho and will show them to you next time.
I just uploaded the pictures on my camera...
haven't unwrapped all my goodies yet.
She KNOWS what I like.
I had already seen it..... she was there with a girlfriend shopping.
I NEVER found doll heads for sale. I did look for them.
Seems like everyone is using them now and wants to sell them to me already repurposed!
I loved this little tent..... bought some old letters from her....
Jill Suzanne!
Here are just some random shots I took going down the street....
Between venues you see places like this....
not even if it was sixty degrees!
(which it's supposed to be in Houston Monday morning!!!!)
last Spring I got a photo of her on her horse.
(no, just three)
A car parked outside of Royer's Cafe.....
Royer's Cafe.... just order the cinnamon bread pudding...
it's incredible...)
Next time I go.... I'm waiting and going to Marburger Farm Antique Show
which opens next Tuesday. It's between Round Top and Warrenton.
We are puppy-sitting Henry this weekend.

what a full and fun blog post! i love the decorated car. the countryside is lovely.
I thought it was unbelievably hot also - it sapped the energy right out of you. I hate to say this but I saw a ton of dolls at this one booth - it was downright scary all the parts he had. Don't ask me where... Warrenton, somewhere. Just posted my pics. Found a few goodies.
Looks great Linda ... sorry the heat took some of the fun out of it!
Great photos you got ... the doll with the wire wings is wonderful!

Good grief woman, disappointed in what exactly!! could you not just have bought an old fan from the first tent!???!! (love that one sooooo much) And the doll block, now there's an idea for our junkles, I'd like to request one right here and now, surely Nathalie has some spare heads lying around innher Etsy shop...
It looks like you had fun but I understand about the heat.
I am driving to Dallas Wednesday and stopping by Round Top on the way.

I LOVE the door hanger doll! Normally old dolls are made to look CREEPY, but this one is CUTE! SWEET even! We should all look sop good with a chunky, chippy body. ha!
Lucky, lucky you to be able to go!
*sigh*
Looovein that little Henry picture...oooh that is so sweet. I am just home to my dogs and a little emotional about dogs. Sorry it was so hot, but you did a great job showing those of us up North how special this event is. I am just about ready to turn my electric blanket on!!!
Hugs,
Suz
I just knew you would come up with some great photos! LOVED the doll creation your daughter snapped...YUM! And the car parked outside of Royer's...that was your wheels, right?! Having lived in the Texas heat/humidity for 7 summers, I know exactly what you mean about being oppressively hot. That's a bummer. There's always next year....Xo, Sue
