To all those fellow hearts who jump over glorious junk, behold, Round Top, TX! At the end of September, I got to meet up with a friend about an hour and a half outside of Austin for this event unlike any other. It's on the back roads that are supremely Texas, where folks have thrown up tents and are selling their treasures. It's the kind of stuff people write about, like over at Country Living. Some people think highly of their junk, others are willing to sell just about anything. Regardless, there is something for everybody.
I love hunting for junk and finding great unexpected things that I can then find a home for that looks like that thing was always supposed to be there. On this trip I came home with some great tarnished bridal bowls, a perfectly worn suitcase, ziplock bags of lace and a few other things you'll be seeing more of later on!
If my weekends could get spent digging through boxes of jewelry and broken chairs and worn out ladders and china - not to mention the unbelievable people watching that goes on - it would certainly make my heart glad! So, until we meet again in Round Top - Happy Junking friends!
