Round Top Antiques Fair
Celebrating its golden anniversary in 2018, this show draws collectors to rural Texas three times per year. The extensive variety includes early American primitives, fine European textiles, ancient prints, architectural salvage, and porcelain. The Big Red Barn houses thirty thousand square feet of Americana and Continental pieces, and Marburger Farm features more than 350 dealers with high-end antiques and bibelots.
There is nothing more pleasing than the victory of finding the perfect item at an antique shop, flea market, or even a yard sale. The days of a bygone era were full of life’s simplicity, but often made with an intricacy and complexity of design and craftsmanship. “They just don’t make things like this anymore” – a commonly heard statement – but factual none-the-less !
Over the many years, I have learned to truly value and appreciate the lovely items that were made for a different time.
Today, I am grateful to have myself surrounded by lovely items that have a longer life than me ! If only these items could talk !
God bless !
