It’s been a strange emotional week for me.
We’ve continued to keep our heads down and focused on getting our remodeling done, so I’ve been feeling really pleased about that.
But, with each passing day, I felt a little sad because one of my favorite events was happening, and I wasn’t able to be there. I’m talking about the whole Round Top experience, including the Marburger Farm Antique Show.
I just wasn’t able to be in two places at once so I picked the place where I needed to be rather than where I wanted to be.
Ever been there?
Anyway, despite having been torn in two different directions, I’m glad we made the decision we did to stay put and get some stuff done.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend doing whatever you love to do!
This beautiful study/library with its glossy painted black floors and plentiful bookshelves.
This little cat in a hat.
This little front porch with its cleverly painted stairs.
These gorgeous old letters. I badly want that “K”.
This moody old photograph. I found it on Pinterest. If anyone knows the original source, please let me know.
This quote. I believe it to be true.
This unbelievably gorgeous apothecary cabinet.
This lake house with its wonderfully simple staircase, reclaimed wood ceiling, sweet little dresser and industrial lights.
What’s not to love?
I totally understand!!! It is the same here and I have never had the pleasure of going. Seeing everyone’s post on Facebook is killing me!!!!
Love the work you have done so far, Diane
Oh, you SO need to go at least ONCE. You will LOVE it.
I feel your conflict Kim……I wasn’t able to go this time either…..but the Spring show is still my favorite…..so glad we get a chance twice a year to go hunt for treasures! Your home is your Round Top! Reading your blog and seeing your pictures is like walking the fields and going through my favorite tents!
I agree, Jenny. Didn’t get to go this fall either but like you, the Spring show is my favorite! And I SO agree that reading Kim’s blog is like walking the fields and tents…plus I can’t be tempted to buy stuff I have no room for!
You’re a sweetie, Cher but have to say: there’s always room for one more treasure.
Awww, Jenny. You always know what to say to make me feel better, and I thank you for that!

AWESOME! I’ll correct the link on Pinterest. Thanks so much!
My hubby and I went to the Warrenton part of the Round Top show on Friday! We went with two finds in mind — a wooden wagon wheel and an old plow — both for yard art. Success!! We came home with both of these and a couple of other smaller fun finds. The weather was unbearably humid for us Austinites who usually have much less humidity than East Texans. I agree, the Spring show is so much fun, especially with cooler weather.
Oh, I’m so glad you got to experience it and you found your treasures! Was that your first time going? I actually prefer Warrenton over Round Top because you can find better bargains there, but it takes a lot more walking. It’s not so bad unless it’s brutal hot like you said. We usually take our two dogs and they sure enjoy it. I’ll definitely be there in the Spring!
