A little more info on the big Texas antique fair:
Everyone asks me where this huge antiques fair is and I tell them it’s in the middle of nowhere, seriously. So here is the map of the area. The fair spreads out to shelby, round top, carmine, fayetteville, and burton. http://www.showdaily.us/ is the magazine that is provided to you at the show to help navigate your way through. http://urbanprairierefueled.blogspot.com/2008/08/warrenton-texas-podcast.html it’s a short film that Chris Brown from Urban prarie did. A little different from the way I see it, but very cool. http://www.slide.com/r/ACC24h-zFj_kCbtrFVbIxugf7rnc35W2?cy=bb is a slide show of images from warrenton, where we stay, shop and hang out.
I just went back and added this later post of more great pics to give you an idea of the scale.
5 hours flying out, 1841 miles, 28+ hours driving time back, 4 days walking miles and miles through hot dusty fields filled with fire ants in either a 100 degree bathtub or 32 degree freezing rain weather. It might sound bad when I put it that way but I love it, the people and hospitality and the wonderful finds and the beautiful nights filled with laughter and music make it all worthwhile. Plus I get to do it all with one of my favorite people, my girl Jess. It wasn’t the same without her last time. 8 more days!
I’m so jealous! And I think you’ll be gone the whole time I’m in SC next week. I’ll still stop by the store and see if there’s anything I can take off your hands. Have fun!
What a great PR post for the folks who will be selling at the shows. I normally am set up at Zapp, but am unable to do this show, but for all the others who will be set up, I’d like to say thank you. Have a safe trip and a good time. Deb
I can tell you are just as excited about the show as I am. Thanks for including my slide show in your post. I know you’ll find lots of great things and have a blast!!
I have posted a week's worth of stories all about Round Top if anyone needs more info… It is an awesome event!! So good to see everyone's treasures & how differently each person approaches the event. Blessings, Facy
