round top recap
Well, we’re back from our trip to Houston. Holly was a delightful host and tour guide … we hopped all over town {and country}.
Until a few months ago, I had never heard of the Round Top Antique Show. But to the antique/junk shoppers … it is the place to visit each spring and fall. Miles and miles of farmland is covered with tents and booths set up with all the antiques you could ever want. Some spots are funky, some are a little bit fancy. It is all wonderful on the eyes. Here are a few of my favorite images from our time at Round Top.
It was a hot, sticky and dusty day, but oh so fun. I think I could do this annually.
. . . . . . . . .
One little item of business:
If you have been over to the shop page, you may have noticed that we are running a promotion on all art prints.
When you purchase a print, you will automatically be entered in the daily drawing. If you are the winner of the day you are welcome to select three of your favorite prints to be added to your order.
The winners from this weekend are:
THURSDAY: Stefanie Gallegly
FRIDAY: Kathleen Davies
SATURDAY: Jackie Wimmer
SUNDAY: Julia McNamara
Please send me a note with your additional print selections at emily@jonesdesigncompany.com and I’ll send them right out!

On another note, thank you to all of you who have already entered the April Giveaway using the new simplified two step process {it used to be 4 steps!}. I appreciate the feedback and look forward to providing you with fun new features here at jones design company.

I surprised myself and didn’t buy much! I did get a great galvanized tray for my living room ottoman … but the airport lost the suitcase that it is in so I’m thinking I never will get that tray …

I am leaving Friday morning for Round Top for the first time!! I am psyched!! Going by myself so I can go as fast or slow as I want. If anyone is also going to be there, let me know!! I am bringing my husband’s Tahoe but am afraid it may be too small.
Does anyone else know of other blogs that give maybe “hint” or “shop” information for Round Top? I am furiously making notes. vikki@pdq.net http://www.myhousemygarden.blogspot.com Thank you!
Diane
Oooooo sounds like toooo much fun!!! So sorry about the suitcase and your treasure. Be sure to let us know if it gets returned to you.
