So what is Round Top? Let's just say, Round Top is Canton (the antique and treasures part) on steroids. The town of Round Top (population 77) and all of the surrounding towns open up pastures and pavilions for thousands of antique and "junk" dealers for two weeks twice a year.
Carroll and I met in Palestine on Friday afternoon, hopped in the car together, and pretty much talked nonstop until we pulled in to the town of Round Top. Jared's mom is a Round Top regular (in fact she rents a house there year round) and started the touring of the thousands of booths and tents of antiques just about as quickly as we got out of the car. Carroll and I quickly saw that we had a lot to see in a short amount of time.
We got up at our regular time (our Davis and Anna alarm clocks went off around 7) and got an early start to the day. We trekked the grounds of Warrenton and found tons of really cool things, at surprisingly great prices. This is the place to shop for sure!! We made our way back up north, stopping at tents on either side of the highway.
That evening we headed to one of the coolest shops I have ever been to called Leftovers. Such amazingly beautiful treasures and the way they displayed them was just incredible. Very much a treat! After a couple of hours of browsing, we headed to the Fayetteville to see what the vendors had to offer at their "Open to Midnight" sale.
Although the ending of our weekend did not go exactly as planned, it was such a wonderful weekend getaway for the two of us. Thank you to our sweet hubbies for letting us get a nice getaway before the two of us add to our families in the spring!
Yes, SUCH a fun Carroll-Courtney time! Somehow you left out half of this story. It only gets more exciting! :)
