Antiquing for You II


How could I not think of all you tablescapers as I browsed the bounty of Round Top and its environs.  At every turn I saw something that reminded me of someone.  As you look through the finds, do you see what made me think of you?

These dishes caught my eye, and I could imagine them in a number of playful settings.  Wouldn’t they be great on a quilt or on a porch or by the lake or in a cozy dining room?  Now that I think about it, I wish I had considered buying them because they would be fun additions to what I have.

And this simple but beautiful tableware would be a hit with the elegant touches many of you would add.

Some vendors created attractive displays to make their wares even more appealing.  You French country people would love this (thanks, Judy, for the photo)

as well as this.  Are those really canning jars atop the candle holders?  Think about how they would sparkle at night with a votive inside!

Take a look at these pitchers and bowls from another era.  Wouldn’t it be fun to work some of them into a focal point on the table?

They would look terrific on these vintage tablecloths.  This was a wonderful collection, and I could imagine how excited some of you would have been over this find.

After a late bite from these gals, it was time to mosey on back to Houston, but not before having a last look around.

That’s when I spotted this

and this painted screen door which made my heart sing.  Wouldn’t you know she was already sold, otherwise she’d have come home with me.  Think she would have like an invite to one of our tables?

  6. I love Round Top, Marburger Farms, Warrenton, the Red Barn and all the other wonderful places to shop! I have been several times and it is always different and fun! I usually stay in Brenham! The set of china In the first photo is Minton’s Haddon Hall which I have had for many many years and have lots of extra pieces which I display in a cabinet. The prices are always a surprise but then you find items here that you never see any place else. I know a couple dealers who collect pieces just for the show. I glad you reminded me of the fun and thanks for the photos!

    I love the elegant black & white tableware. Thanks for sharing!

  15. That screen door painting is really cool!!! That is something I have never seen before. I never would have thought to do that! I also really like those cool blue chairs around the table with the blue & silver pieces on it. I’m not even sure that I would want to repaint them. They look pretty neat “as is.” Wow…thanks for shopping for me!!! 🙂 I saw lots of dishes & accessories I would love to buy! I’m not sure which one made you think of me, but they ALL make me think of me!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂 Glad you had a good time!
