I enjoyed a wonderful couple of days at the twice-yearly Round Top/Warrenton Texas Antique Shows. Truly a place to find rare junk and meet up with great junkin' friends. It's so nice to be around folks who "get it."
I was so surprised when I ran into Mike Brown from Page 124 of Flea Market Style magazine, walking across one of the fields. He's selling out there this Spring and you can find him in the Zapp Hall Field.
Theresa Cano from Page 27 hosted a fabulous blog party on Sunday night.
There was food, fun, and some fabulous junk!

Of course there was fabulous junk around every turn!
I snapped the pic below just for our very own horsewoman, Ki.
And where else can you find a pink parking meter, Well, maybe at the
Junk Bonanza!
Here's a little 1960's Junkin' kitsch for ya. Can you identify the elements on this handmade plaque? The person who made it proudly inscribed the back and dated it. I think it's fabulous.
That's my whirlwind trip to Round Top; I enjoy this trip every year. The weather was pleasant, the people were wonderful and the junk was delightful. You bet my car was full when I got home! You can read more about my trip on my blog here.

Love, love, love those chairs with the heart shape backs, and the phone booth is AWESOME, as is the pink parking meter.
The paper clip, safety pin and Key ring loop? art work is nifty too.
Thanks for sharing such a fun trip.

I vow to make it to Round Top one of these days! Loooove those aqua heart chairs! Art work items, paper clips, safety pins, binder rings and I spy bobby pins..the chignon holder kind..
My daughter and I were there on Friday, April 1, 2011. I usually go at least 5 times during the Spring and Fall shows, but this year only made it one day. I love it at Warrenton and anyone who goes is instantly hooked.
What fab pictures of some great finds....Love the phone booth and those blue heart chairs are an awesome find.
The picture: bobby pins,paper clips, binder rings, saftey pins...Great make of flowers images with those elements.
