It’s really that time of year where not much is getting made around the house. Just a whole lotta livin’. Springtime in Texas is my absolute favorite time to hit the road and explore the hill country. There are so many places to go and the weather is just perfect. Plus, just like the rest of the country, the landscape is covered with wildflowers.
A couple of weeks ago my girlfriends and I descended upon Round Top for a two day adventure. Twice a year Round Top plays host to one of the largest antique fairs in the nation. And since it’s only a little over an hour from Austin, we hit the road. We did learn a lesson last time and rented a house so we could spread it out a little bit. So with the wind at our back, Robert Earl Keen on the radio, and our eyes set on the prize we took off.
You really never know what you are going to find in Round Top. You can go with the most well thought out planned list and come home with not a thing that was on it. You never know what the dealers will have, or what might catch your eye.
Some shots of Round Top…
And this is what my car looked like when we left. Yes the globes are mine and not a one of them was on my list. I came home with SEVEN. I also came home with a huge number 5 from the side of a building. A peace sign made out of an old ceiling tile. An old wooden door certainly covered with lead paint. A ‘porch party here’ sign. And a few other odds and ends. And yes, my girls helped me carry all of the globes around Round Top. We do know how to have a good time.
Until next year!
I love the pic of your car with the globes!
