Texas Whites (part 1 of 6)

April greetings y'all!!

I'm writing from a cozy Best Western in Round Top, Texas where I have come for the 10th time to enjoy some marathon antiquing during the Warrenton/Marburger/Round Top & Red Barn antique shows. This year I decided to shoot more pictures than usual, so as I mosey back to my room each night with damp clothes and tired feet, I am trying to organize over 300 photos for you so you may take a peek of what you are missing. To tell you this is just a sampling of what the Antique Fair has to offer would be an understatement as there is simply NO WAY to give you even a snippet of what this amazing show is about, but I am going to give it my best shot. 

To make the viewing a little more exciting, I am categorizing my images into six themes. Below is #1. Enjoy the Texas Whites.

Judy Hill's booth at Marburger
A fun canopy designed by Texas Rose
A wonderful antique dental cabinet for sale at Marburger
These two geese I wanted badly! Found at Excess.


Ironstone, ironstone, everywhere ironstone.
An eclectic vignette at Marburger.









This amazing bank of chairs are all connected with seats that raise up. I have no idea what the purpose was but I am inclined to think it was from a convent or school. Found at Blue Hills from Bobo Intriguing Objects.









Maybe one of the best ironstone tureens I saw on this trip at Leftovers, ($595)


Oh to sell sofas again!!

February 16, 2013

I love this decayed decor but some on Facebook said they would paint it! Sacrilegious!

 Hello all. As expected, my blogging is falling by the wayside. I left you with a New Year's message and here it is February 15. I started January by attending the Atlanta Gift Show which was so inspiring and much needed for my well being. I found many new items to sell online while focusing on finding vintage re-designs. Who doesn't love an antique original but now manufacturers are making such good, affordable reproductions its hard to tell new from old. As long as you have a mix, who cares? Many of the those items are starting to arrive online but many are yet to come. Be sure and check the website to see what's new or sign our EMAIL LIST to be the first to know. Below, just a few of the items that have inspired me lately.
