If you're new to my blog, or somehow missed the news,
I spent a week towards the end of March
in Warrenton/Round Top, Texas documenting the phenomenal Antique Week.
I spent a week towards the end of March
in Warrenton/Round Top, Texas documenting the phenomenal Antique Week.
I was there as a seller, but as an observer as well.
I had literally hundreds of images to pore through,
and still have many left to go.

Here's the best of what's left.
Enjoy!

Anne, you really have a wonderful eye behind the camera! I am already enjoying my visits to your blog and following right behind you as you click away. I want to THANK YOU for your lovely and caring words on my last post about Sasha. You really touched my heart. I wrote it to comfort my dad and daughter but the comments that kind people like you left were the best medicine. xx P&H
ReplyDeleteAmazing stuff, Anne...thanks for sharing all your great pics!
ReplyDeleteI think the doll heads in the jars are my favorite! What have you done to me!!! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteThe nekkid Ken is almost as scary as the vases of doll heads! But the Angelique collage is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteAnne, how lucky are you?! I am vowing that I will go in October!
ReplyDeleteGreen with Envy!
Maureen
Hi , Anne , Thanks for sharing all the photos
ReplyDeleteTexas week is my dream vacation , fields of shopping for great junk. It doesn't get any better than that!
Sue
Oh Anne, what we could do with some of that stuff!
ReplyDeleteThat poor "lady" in the top photo all taped together! LOL!
Diane
Sometimes, when I see things such as these things that belonged to people long ago, my imagination kicks in...I can just imagine a little girl holding that old doll, sitting at the patio furniture with her mommy and a tea set. Perhaps the picture hung on their parlor wall, and the Holy Family sat near an outdoor pond. All so tranquil, so peaceful...
ReplyDeleteBut then, like a record player needle scratching on the LP, (wish I could write what that sounds like, ya know?) there appears these heads and funky signs and the womens' dress forms, and then the guy (ahem) and wow! I had to laugh outloud! You crack me up, Anne!
Hugs,
Laurie
Love it all! The gift from Angelique is so pretty! Thanks for sharing your trip with us! Have a blessed day, thank for visiting my Daughter and leaving THE SWEETEST comment:) HUGS!
ReplyDeleteOK...I want one of those fabulous dress forms, I'm drooling right now. And do you think it would be possible to shrink that rusty garden table & chairs set down to a suitable size for shipping & when it arrives here I will use my magical 'Blogging Powers' to bring it back to actual size??? Oh yeah...it must be mine!!! Yummy stuff friend, I can't wait to meet you in the fall when I get to have my virgin journey there...it all looks sooooooo goooooood!!! ;)
ReplyDeleteSmiles Friend & thanks for sharing your cool pics,
Susie
Oh, I can't even imagine. I think i would feel like I'd died and gone to heaven, "junk heaven" that is! Maybe someday I'll get over there and I'd love to meet you in person.
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a wonderful week.
Kathleen
