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

Texas, as with many parts of the country, has its own distinct fashion look.
The almost cult like dream booth of -
MAGNOLIA PEARL

'Euro-Urban-Chic' is what seems to trip the trigger here.
Antica Collection

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.
