Round Top, Texas — The Ultimate Shopping Experience
April 4, 2019

Want to know where Fixer Upper star Joanna Gaines finds many of her treasures? It’s not a secret. She buys them in a field in Round Top, Texas. Where, twice a year, farmers rent out their land, so vendors from all over the country can trespass for three glorious weeks!

What? You say you’ve never been to Round Top? Well, you’re in luck. I just got back, and here’s my scrapbook.

Find just about anything in Round Top!

It has been said of the famous London department store, Harrod’s: “You can find anything from a needle to an elephant!” Well, the closest thing I’ve found to Harrod’s is Round Top, Texas.

the fields

First stop, the fields. There are miles and miles of merchandise in the meandering fields between Round Top, Carmine, and Warrenton.

What fun to trek through the dirt and discover treasures you never knew you needed.

From cowboy boots…

to African beads.

I bought this chair and bear from beautiful Tammy, whose grandkids call her “Glammy.” I can see why.

Get inspired. 

Here’s a door made into an herb garden.

Metal containers are nailed to the door, and herbs spill out sideways.

Brilliant! Who thinks up these things?

Find friends and fur in the fields of Round Top!

You’ll always spot something quirky along the way…

The proprietor of Disco Alley sits a spell.

thirsty yet?

We all get new names in Round Top.

now let’s go inside…

here are some sitings from the Big Red Barn

Rabbits, dogs, cats…

fish…

… buffalo.

So whatever it is you are looking for–or if you are just looking for fun, food, and great entertainment, you are sure to find it at the Round Top Antiques Fair.

    Thanks, Sharon.
    Round Top is always fun–spring or fall. Whether you buy anything or not.

    Diane,
    Round Top happens in spring and in fall. Almost over now, but will be back around in the autumn.
