Hometalk Round Top Blogger Meet-up

I'm still recovering from my busy weekend in Round Top, Texas.

And,  let me tell you, I've found a new love.


(Forgive the grainy iPhone pictures throughout this post!)

Round Top...I will be back for more!!

There were so many cool things at the Antiques Fair that, to tell you the truth, I was a little overwhelmed!





Of course, my phone died shortly after I got there so I didn't take a lot of shopping pictures, but just envision tent after tent after tent filled with junk, antiques, olive buckets (for $35!), baskets, re-purposed cool stuff -- you name it.  It was a home blogger's paradise.

Except for the unrelenting heat.

That wasn't so great.

Even so, we trudged on in search of fabulous finds and it was worth every drop of sweat.

Here's a peak a sneak peek of two finds that made me happy:


I scored two vintage table cloths for $5 each!

And, this tattered wedding ring quilt circa 1940 for $20.


I love them both and have several ideas of how and where I want to use them. (I'll be sharing what I do soon!)

My weekend was all a part of the Hometalk Round Top Blogger Meetup that Randi from Dukes & Duchesses and I co-hosted.

Don't you love the cute bags Hometalk gave us? (Mine got a little dirty sitting in my shopping cart.)



We had a small, but enthusiastic group of bloggers (as well as a few friends and kids) join Randi and me on our shopping adventure (Denise from Denise Designed and Lisa from The Pennington Point).  We didn't manage to connect with a few others who were scheduled to join us, so I hope they made it to the fair and enjoyed all the great shopping anyway. (I'm so disappointed I didn't get to meet them!  Next time ladies, next time!)

We will all be posting about our finds and how we re-purpose or "flip" them into something fantastic for our homes, so stay tuned!

I hope you all had a fantastic weekend!
