Sizzling Sales at Round Top!


These blew me away......Great pair of lamps...  The dealers at European Antiques Collection  out of Atlanta have the shades custom made..... WOW.  Great pairing.

I went nuts for this Art Deco Clock and Candlesticks.  
 You need to enlarge this..... So almost Erte Like.
This was from the same vendor "Rustique" at Rustique http://www.rustiqueantique.com/ ( I am too pooped to link it at it is day two of a 12 hour bell to bell at beadboard.)  In shop talk open til 9 for 4 days....But this piece is special, Restoration Style, in Maple, with a gorgeous gray marble top,one of it's sister pieces are in the museum of decorative arts in Paris. 
Loved this cofffee set.....Everything about it.. They tray is a seperate piece.....

These were so pretty, I like the one in the front.......

Sold!  To a couple last night at 8PM a wonderful example of Louis Phillippe......Shows you what kind of business you can do when you serve wine.........
 Hope they leave the fabric alone.......

I know it is fall but big gazebos are the rage.......This was the best I saw.

A painted Provencial entry chest, and it had the original key......I like that....


Pretty Trumeau.

I think this was a repro... Liked it anyway.

From Industrial Chic, by Christopher Bailey.

Beautiful French Sheets from Touch of Europe..... Mimi and Peter have gorgeous things.......

And lots of them!!!!!!! Great prices! La Bahia Antiques.....
They are also online......
I must say one thing..... this was a very different Round Top..... It for the first time was Excruciatingly hot, no breeze in an area like most of Texas that has the worst heat and the worst drought in recorded history......
Not all visitors are happy this year we hear all of the buzz...... But it depends.....You don't have to do it all at once....... And the shows need to realize they can't count on mother nature. if coolers and fans are needed do whatever it takes....The ones that charge need to be giving out water.... This is serious stuff.... I am seasoned at this and it is tough going but there are deals to be had...... Just be smart about it....
 Take care of yourself....;)

  6. Thanks Maryanne, too sweet as always! The fans, I could not agree more, we'd have been in trouble without them. The rain (piddling as it was) helped a bit.... and the water, oh yeah! We've been handing out bottles where possible, but the show organizers do need to get on this, very true. It has indeed been different this show, for sure. Mimi

    ps I want those lamps in the first pic, I did not know these guys and they are local to me!

  7. I wish I would have gone to Round Top!
    That first gazebo is amazing.

    Thank you for taking us along :)
