What I Saw at Round Top

Saturday morning was lovely.  It started out with somewhat cooler temps

and clear skies, but by the afternoon the temps rose once again.  It did

not however, curtail my hunt through the tents up in Round Top.

After being up here many times now, I have my favorite haunts and 

one of them is Marburger Farm.  Because there is a fee to enter the farm,

it is a bit less crowded than many of the other venues and tends to 

attract the best dealers.  The wares have not varied too much over the

past few years, and I am not interested in everything that is offered,

but I was drawn in by this booth.  

For those of you who know me well, you are very familiar with my

fondness for all things tartan.  Although it's still a bit early to

be thinking of Christmas, I am still open to decorating ideas.

Here is what caught my eye in this scene, I like the gate leg table.  I 

have one at home in my front entry, and while I like the idea of painting

the table gray, I won't be painting mine.  Isn't it charming though?

I also like that red tole tin on the mantel.  My Mama loved tole and

I have lots of it in my home and feel that it never goes out of style.

The ironstone tureen is great too.

I love this French Christmas pillow on the tartan chair!

This is what I am still kicking myself about ~ I did not buy this black

tole candlestick lamp.  I certainly don't need it, and don't know where I

would put it because I already have so many lamps.  Those facts don't 

stop me from loving it though, but I walked away when my common

sense won the battle over temptation.  Darn old common sense!

I love the skis.  I have a pair up in a storage facility in Idaho.  

Certainly won't be using them down here, but a pair of wood ones

would be great for a winter and Christmas decorating scene.

I have not seen one of these before.  A portable record player in a 

tartan case.  How cute is this???

If my Mama were still alive, I am quite sure that we would have been 

packing up that wrought iron console table and stowing it in the

back of the Suburban for the trip home!   That was so her style!!

This wicker sofa caught my eye.  It's a sofa bed!  It would be awesome

in a beach house, or one could paint the wicker a dark green, cover the

cushions in a red and black buffalo check fabric and use it in a cabin.

What a great piece!

The Garden Company has been setting up a booth at Marburger for a

few years now.  They are located down in Schulenburg, about a 45

minute drive south of Round Top.  They also have a great restaurant

where we have enjoyed lunch or dinner in the past.  The plan is to

open a restaurant in Round Top, but I don't know where that stands.

You won't believe this, but I did not purchase one thing!  I know, 

very shocking.  The only thing I can contribute this to is that since

Hurricane Harvey, I feel like I have been suffering a brain fog.

I should have purchased that little Tole lamp.  What was I 

thinking???
