DOUBLE VISION - SOUTH OF EAST TEXAS - QUESTION YOUR EYE

The Texas Look





Forget your preconceived notions.
Though there is wide diversity here on the range,
Deer and Buffalo perhaps are at home but 
Americana is not.

Mario Polo - New York




Beer and wine were available but not at this saloon.
One of 12 historic buildings that reside at Marburger Farm.

SILVER DOLLAR SALOON




Round Top is much more than a series of antique shows, 
it is a cultural event of almost religious proportions. 
The faithful attend this festive event with a passion.

STONE HOUSE ANTIQUES - ILLINOIS




While Round Top is by no means a 'chik flik',
women dominate as attendees.
Close to 80% would be the Wanderer's guess.
Maybe that's why it's so festive.

KIRK ALBERT ANTIQUES - SEATTLE, WASHINGTON

The almost cult like dream booth of -

Not everyone is on the same page.

FRENCH INFLUENCE






The kitty purred as many purchases were made.

Don & Marta Orwig - Indiana
Large zinc(?) architectural.





Comfort was the look craved for.





Texas shows are like no other.

MARIO POLO - New York




Style, aisle by aisle.

KARA FOGERTEY - Missouri





Exhibitors traveled from all over the country 
to make connections with buyers from all over the country.

WORDEN SELECT OBJECTS - MICHIGAN




Illuminated time was expansively used.

French Vanilla - Texas


One more of the ways to know for sure you're in Texas.






As almost everywhere, lighting was in big demand.

Artifacts - Nashville, Tn





If not "Texas" definitely  southern.

I believe this is "Willows Nest Farm" booth


Lurking around every corner.

DAVID RAMSEY - FLORIDA/MAINE






Semi-finals for 'National Chicken Calling' were not held here.







While the competition for most items requiring a mount was stiff, the winner was clearly apparent.
