Texas Antiques Week!

Howdy from the Lone Star State!
They say everything is bigger in Texas and that goes for antique shows as well! Georgia's has just returned from Round Top/Warrenton, TX where we moseyed from one show to the next with swarms of other shoppers marveling at the high quality vintage goods from around the world, hand-picking inventory and soaking in the sights and sounds of this transformed graze land. Two spectacular highlights were a meet and greet/book signing with designer Rachel Ashwell at the Marburger Farm show and wine and nibbles while shopping under the twinkling Texas sky. Enjoy this photo montage of our experience!

Love the lamp and the rustic wreath!
I'd suggest a U-Haul trailer instead!

Brimfield Antique Show


Georgia's had a blast! Brimfield was brimming with antiques, collectibles, primitives and all things time-worn! This show truly lived up to its reputation as the largest and best-known outdoor antiques show in the country. There were literally thousands of dealers selling everything imaginable. I knew immediately that this was going to be a shopping experience like no other. Although I had help, I had to call for more reinforcements - Georgia's tech guy drove up from New York to help scout and ferry purchases to the car. Oh, and did I mention that it rained cats and dogs! We weren't deterred; no, we donned ponchos, over-looked our soaked shoes and reveled in the hunt for treasures. Georgia's was inspired at every turn; my best memories, though, the helpful, friendly people that we met, both dealers and fellow shoppers, and the fried dough. More about that later.  Have a look at some of our fab finds and candid moments! These items and so much more will be available for purchase soon!
