FUN trip to Round Top Antique Fair last week!  

I had driven to Round Top by myself last fall and was overwhelmed with ALL the miles of shops, tents & fields of antiques & junk.  This year I opted for a scenic trek from where I live on a coach bus with a group of kindred spirits. Was wonderful to enjoy the surroundings without having to deal with traffic or parking.  Being I had done the Big Red Barn last year, I decided to scout around Warrenton this trip.  

FABULOUS!  I covered as much ground as I could in about 4 hours.  Was great to have under carriage cargo space on the bus to put everything.  Here are just a few favs and my purchases, most of which will stay here in my Texas house.  Next spring I will be shopping for Checkered Corner.  Can’t wait!

LOVE the book displays in the Campbell Building…

FALL has always been my favorite time of the year at
the lake in Wisconsin.  Back in the old days before all the
development I could saddle up and ride out the back gate
onto what would change into the snowmobile trail in a few 
short months. The smell, the gorgeous colors, and the quiet of the
woods speak a language the I love.  NO bugs in the fall is a huge bonus.

The time is here to trek to Texas for the winter months.  I’m looking forward to spending some of the time there formulating a plan for next steps for Checkered Corner in a new season in 2024.
