It's that time again...and it's my favorite time of year! Fall is finally in the air and it immediately makes me think of Roundtop, Texas and the infamous Roundtop Antique Week and Marburger Farm Antique Show. I get giddy just thinking about what I will find. 

If you know me at all, you know that I LOVE antiques and just about anything with a little age to it...from buckets to bookcases and stoneware to Staffordshire, I LOVE this stuff! And if it has a chip on it..all the better because someone loved it and used it.

So this time of year makes me giddy and it's not just the wonderful cool front that always seems to blow in just in time for antique week but it's the magic and wonder of what I will find that I just cant live without. Maybe it's another headvase to add to my collection or maybe it's an old piece of damask to use on my Grandmother's chair. Or maybe if I am really lucky I will find an original oil painting of a beautiful floral(I have an addiction to those). Everyday is an adventure and an exciting experience as I find fabulous treasures and meet the very interesting people who collect such wonderful things all across the country and beyond. 

Got plans at the end of the month? Check out Roundtop, Texas.

The Chamber of Commerce is the place to call for reservations as it's really tough to find a place without them. They keep a list of the lodging that's still available so be sure to give them a call if you decide to make the trip and they can direct you in finding lodging. 

Be sure to check out the Marburger Farm Antique Show too! It is simply the best when it comes to the complete package! Amazing vendors with stellar antiques, wonderful food and always an appearance by an author or celebrity of some kind! And if you are paying attention you might see Sandra Bullock, Rachel Ashwell, or some other well-known celeb as they frequent Marburger Farm!

OH!! Dont forget the PIE!! You have to visit Royer's Cafe while in Roundtop! It's one of those things that you simply have to do!!! The BEST pie in the country hands down! And the steak is out of this world! My all-time favorite dish is Micah's pasta...delish and I always have a slice of the buttermilk pie...the best I have ever had! And for those of you who were fans of my restaurant, The French Pear, and loved our buttermilk pie...this is the same one as I used Bud's recipe! So get on over to Royer's and get yourself a piece of pie!!
