An Accumulation of Riches...


That's what can be found at the completely fabulous
Accumulations Hill Country Vintage Home and Garden Fair.

I was fortunate enough to spend Friday afternoon
with some of the most talented, 
genuinely nice people I've had the pleasure
of getting to know in quite some time,
the vendors for this amazing show.

As the semi-official photographer,
I snapped well over 300 images of this event,
so as you can well imagine, I'll be doing the photo editing thang
for the next several days...

But here's a sneak peek
of what you can expect to find at this incredible show...
Many more pics to come in the days ahead!

Many of the vendors are from the iconic Austin shop Uncommon Objects,
destination shopping in every sense of the word.

Truly, I can't urge you strongly enough to make the hop over to the Austin area 
to shop this sale...it's just that good!

Here's where you can find my new friends...

Saturday, October 30th from 9am to 4pm

3800 Elder Hill Road, Driftwood Texas; 
from Austin take 290 W to Dripping Springs, turn left on RR 12 and go approximately 6 miles, turn left on Elder Hill Rd. (CR170).  The entrance is the 2nd gate on the left.  They will have signs out so you'll know exactly where to turn.


Bring a Friend, Admission is Free!!
And be sure to check back, as I'll be posting
many more images from this must-see event!

Have a wonderful weekend!

  19. Hello Anne... you get to go to the most wonderful places!... I have an old, old magazine, I think it is one of the first Country Livings or Country Home I bought MANY years ago, with a big article and pics about Hill Country... I am going to try to find it in my stash and copy the pics for you... I want to be there!... love all these photos, especially Miss Congeniality and the Runner Up... wow! If that is congeniality, I don't think I'd want to run into the losers in a dark alley, tee hee hee!... wishing you a beautiful weekend and a Happy Halloween!... xoxo Julie Marie

  23. Hi Anne:
    Talk about "swoony"!!! So many wonderful things, I thin I'd just faint, trying to make a decision on what to purchase. Your photographs are perfect representations of your "eye". You're really developing as a photographer. (no pun intended)
    Have a great weekend.
    xoxo

  24. I saw Stephanie Rubiano's Pikie Boxes in those pictures....aren't they just the greatest?
    Anne, you should come take a class with me sometimes, when Stephanie has a couple at her house in Austin...you would likey ♥ I made my "time" house there this past summer (see it under my art badge)....

  26. WOW, wish I didn't have to head out to the store to work today so I could sit and stare at your photos some more. Totally awesome and I'm really loving Uncommon Objects. Maybe I can be a few minutes late and just take a quick peek at their link. Have a great week-end.

    Take care, Sue

  35. Anne,

    The show was just as lovely as your photos. I just couldn't resist those sweet little red shoes in Steve's space, so they now have a new home long with a few other little treasures from Mickey and Brandy.
