Shameful Really....

It's been so long....I mean so long it's almost embarrasing! Of course it's been busy but honestly it's been so long because google changed the blog format and it wouldn't allow me to upload pics so I pretended it was a non-issue :) Sorry my bad! But for those who are still hanging in there here's what has been going on....

(Mini Boot Section of Shop)

In April we headed out to the infamous Texas Antique Week (AKA Round Top) and set up at Zapp Hall. As always it's tons of fun and there are so many talented people there that you come back flooded with new ideas and inspiration. Of course the Junky Gypsies are there along with Rodeo Royalty which had an amazing Gypsy Wagon...(I Die!) and many others.

Right after that we held The Vintage Prom which was a benefit for our local Women's Shelter which went off amazingly well! Such a great night and the community was amazing in their support!

Texas Fun

I did manage to take quite a bit of pics while we were at Zapp Hall of the booths and the area to share. Needless to say I missed it as soon as we pulled out of the drive and can't wait to go back in April. If there's one thing I could say about this field it's that the people a rock...they are some of the kindest vendors and field owners you will ever meet so every day was like going to summer camp for adults!

Royers Cafe

So let's take a little tour of Antique Heaven on Hwy 237~

Her's the booth as we were setting up...full Halloween going on here~

It was piled full during setup!

I will never forget the dollhouse that weighed as much as a car....

Some of the other booths-

Her booth was fantastic!

This delightfullness was in Carolyn Westbrook's Booth~

I can't remember which field this was but it was one close to us at Zapp

This is my friend from Atlanta's booth...just wonderful!

And of course...we were 2  spaces over from....

The Prairie and Rachel Ashwell

It's hard to believe I've been gone for almost 3 weeks between Round Top and then the market in Atlanta but it sure is good to be home. I took a bunch of pics of Round Top that I want to share but thought I would share something juicy first! While we were in Texas I made friends with a wonderful vendor who's sarcasm is as on point as her beautiful style. Needless to say she was a hoot to be around and invited me to go with her to Rachel Ashwell's The Prairie for a book signing for her new book and her feature in Where Women Create.....Kill me now what a dream!

I tried to take as many pics as possible to share but I will warn...they are not super great since I didn't want to look like a loser taking pics of everything! This is one of her beautiful outbuildings surrounded by flowers that basically smelled like heaven. The smell of flowers was so strong I basically thought it was fake :)

Not sure what treasure was hidden behind those doors...but I can only imagine~

Horrible pic but this is where the signing was held and these are some gorgeous interior pics~

I wanted badly to smuggle this bench out under my dress...

Killer chair huh? The doll I went to the party with sold it to Rachel...she has phenomenal taste! Trust me her booth was just as good!

Drum Roll.....I present to you...

Rachel herself~

The only downside was I couldn't bring my mom...I felt like a dirty rotten traitor!

On the property is also the shop which was packed to the rafters and filled with treasures~

If you're nosy like me you would want to know that some of this was picked while the show was going on in Round Top and Warrenton and several days she was walking around shopping...just like us mere design mortals :)

Lovely...so lovely!

I cannot wait until the next show...hopefully there will be another event at The Prairie!
