Roundtop,Texas



Last week I visited the Roundtop antiques show. The weather was beautiful and I had a lovely time seeing the antiques and crafts. I purchased a jewelers magnifying lens for my husband to look at his treasured coin collection. I charged my camera the night before just to take photos and was so busy looking, I forgot to take photos. Here are a few that I took. I only visited the Old Depot,the Blue Hills event venue, and the Big red barn there was much more to see. My next visit in the spring time will allow me to see the other venues.

Above is an old Turkish clay pot for $225 I saw. I am taking a ceramics course and throwing vessels so the pottery interested me.

I had to remove the landscaping because the roots of our 70' tall gorgeous bald cypress tree had invaded the septic tanks. Whatever I chose to put in place of the previous landscaping had to have shallow roots.  So, for the first season I decided to put down some native wildflower mix I purchased from the Wildseed Farm in Fredericksburg.   http://www.wildseedfarms.com/ I also put
