Round Top and Warrenton Texas Antiques!

We are now back home to Littleton Colorado!  We had a great trip to Texas.  We are so lucky to have spent time with our friends and family.  On Friday, April 1st, June and I were able to spend an entire day together.  Since we no longer live in the same city, spending time with her is really special to me.  First, we got to spend time on our car ride from San Antonio TX to Round Top TX.  Once we got there, we started out at the Big Red Barn.  You can find more details about  Round Top Antiques here.  I spent a lot of time at one booth, it had more buttons than I had ever seen in one place....it was wonderful!  The ladies were friendly and let me take lots of photos of their booth...Dusty's Vintage Tablecloth & Buttons.  I found they have a page on Facebook and sadly, only sell their buttons at shows.

After shopping at the Big Red Barn, June and I enjoyed a nice lunch at the Big Red Barn.  We wished we could spend the entire day here but we could not so it was time to decide our next stop.  Like two peas in a pod that we are, we decided to go to Warrenton TX ( a few miles) in search of antique bargains.

If you were to look for Roundtop or Warrenton TX on a map, you will see they are very small rural towns.  However, you might think you were in the middle of a major city when you realize how much time you sit in traffic, going from one place to another during these antique days!


We drove past tents and buildings (acres & acres) of vintage vendors...again, it would take days to properly see all the booths.  June and I parked across this sign and shopped...to give you perspective, we were able to only visit a fraction of the booths available in Warrenton.  It's overwhelming but fantastic at the same time.

I actually planned on taking lots and lots of photos but actually did not take as many as I thought I would.  I kinda forgot, I found I was just enjoying the show so much I forgot to take photos!  Afterwards, June drove me  to Austin, TX  (where my family was now at) and she returned home to San Antonio, TX.  It was a FANTASTIC DAY...thanks June!

Here are some of my favorite photos from Warrenton Antique Show:
