More Please

Alright my vintage friends, here's a few more photos as requested. These willow baskets were incredible. I wonder what they were originally used for? They were very tall, perhaps displays from an old French boulangerie?

I really liked the old French metal numbers too but they were $39...each! That's high even for this So Cal girl. Let's just say I heard a lot of dealers complaining that the prices were a bit steep.

There were loads of beautiful linens and textiles all thoughtfully displayed. I did manage to buy dozen or so European shams. And I also bought these charming baby shoe molds from Theresa Smith.

Oh, and these vintage grain sacks to use as pillow covers for my outdoor swing.

This booth had tons of chandeliers, vintage chalk ware and beautiful tole painted pieces. I really liked the booths that covered the floors with straw. It gave them such a nice feel when you walked on it instead of the dirt or grass. Small detail but I noticed.

Shelley of Sweet Pea put together this wonderful post office inspired booth. She had a fantastic selection of vintage goods to choose from and came all the way from Florida to be a vendor.

This cabinet display was from Judy of J. Hill Designs. She also hosts a local show on her property and if you live in the area it would sure be worth the trip. Check her website for details on the upcoming dates and times.

These next three photos are from the opening night party at Leftovers Antiques Destination. We heard that the morning of the party a dealer came in and bought 90+ pieces of furniture/antiques and they had to redo the entire store before the event! Can you imagine?

Here's a few highlights of the fabulous people we met along the way!

This is Sharon Bright out shopping the fields. We ran into her several times during our stay and she was always dressed so adorable. I told her she was Rockin' It, Texas Retro Style! She owns Sack Lunch which is located next to Clutter. They serve yummy sandwiches and sweets. Look how cute this place is.

This is Frances Bailey, Senior Design & Lifestyle Editor for Country Living Magazine. I've had the opportunity to meet her several times and she is always so incredibly gracious. We chatted about the antique show, magazines, upcoming events and she complimented me on my work and wanted to keep in touch. So exciting! More so for me than for her, I'm sure!

Here I am with Deb of Curious Sofa and my faithful road warrior Carol. We had lots of fun discussing various booths, styles, places to shop and "what's hot". Both have posted great photos and stories on their blogs, be sure to check them out. After our day of non-stop Marburger shopping we went to Royer's Cafe for dinner.

And a trip to Round Top wouldn't be complete without having a meal here. It's an experience in itself. And was the perfect way to spend our final night in Texas!

Hi Heather! I stumbled across your blog through the Nesting Place blog... wow, what beautiful pictures! Loved the adventures through Texas... can you believe I live in Texas and have never been to Round Rock? After living through your photos I am in serious need of a road trip! Hey if you're ever in the Houston/NASA area - look me up! Although the only antiques we have here are in Mission Control! ;)

[Polly]

Can you picture me banging my fists on the desk, stomping my feet and crying a big ol' baby fit?!!! I wanna go so bad... =) Blessings... Polly

Hugs,
LeAnn :)

[tiffany]

How dreamy fun! I can't believe how beautifully those booths are all set up. I love the "clutter" shop.. That's what I should name my house! :) I actually call my design look.. "the junked up look" but I should really call it "the pink junked up look"
Fun! Fun pictures!

[Raised In Cotton]

Hugs,
Carol

Heather! It's Roxanne...from Abilene, Texas.I'm enjoying all your fabulous pictures. It's like visiting Warrenton all over again. Thanks again for the sincere kindness you showed to all us 'Heather Bullard' groupies. You are so sweet!

Hey! You should come to Abilene! It's a fabulous place to 'vintage'shop...very cheap....I promise!

Happy spring!!!

[Chris Brown]

Great photos Heather. The rockin' retro style gal you're talking about is Sharon Bright. Her Sack Lunch food at Clutter is so refreshing out in the fields.

Peace,
Chris
