Not every booth is lace and linens,dainty and sweet.If you want to find some good deals you gotta get some dirt on your skirt and that's just what we did! This was by far one of my favorite booths. Can you guess why?
You don't have to look very far to find inspiration here girls..
We found it very early in the morning. Can you still see the fog?
Treasure upon treasure
Although I was having a very frizzy hair day and my eyes were still a bit puffy from the long drive I stopped to take a fast photo here.. you know, the fans were wanting a picture with me and all, what's a blogger to do.. Ha!
Can you say jackpot!
Ladders ladies!!!
I may have taken a few of these home with me...sweet!
True Texas style! Love it~
My sister Missy had a few fans herself...Not!
So will we be going back in the spring? You bet your Boots!!! We are bringing a U-haul next time so this wont happen again. I think I over estimated just how much I could fit into the car. In case you are wondering what those are up there....screens!
Car was full,wallets were empty and I had the biggest fever blister known to man kind
so we headed for home. We love you Texas~

Yes that is a stash indeed there. Love all the photos and the goats.. And those ah.. 'D' cups.. I'll pass on them! harr snort snort. But I love em' just the same and would find something grand to do with em.
Ditto on the 'big puffy heart' thingie too.

Oooooooh, I'm sea grean with envy with your stash of doors. I need a pair of old ones with windows of any kind so bad. What a great day you had. SEND ME THOSE DOORS, please! Sea Witch
Can't wait to see what becomes of those screens. Glad y'all had fun.
WOW, lots of goodies all over. Your creativity was probably in over drive.
LOL about over estimating how much space you had in the car. We do the same thing on vacations...but the hubby makes sure whatever it is that he makes room for it...even if it has to go on top of the car. It's coming back with us.
Looks like a total blast! Wish I could have been there. Jackie
What fun.....the pictures of yesterday's booths were great but I would have been spending all my time outside where it looks like the real treasures were found!! I'm sure you have fabulous ideas for everything....look forward to the transformations.
Ooooh, cannot wait for you to share with us your plans and projects! loved the pic of the 'guy' with the pecs! heehee
Ok, I want to go next time! It's only about a 1000 miles to your house and then another, what, 400 to Texas? Easy peasy road trip (maybe 20 years ago!) How fun! Love the pics--and those galvanized watering cans. Where do people get all of that stuff?
Hugs,
Susan
Wow ~ you hit the jack pot! Can't wait to see what your treasures become in this life.
Jo
Susie you're too cute! Looks like an awesome time! Love those zinc seedling cups (I have some myself)!!

Oh how I wish I could have tagged along you gals SCORED! Can't wait to see what you are going to do with those screens.
This post is more my speed. :) How fun to see all those treasures! I can't wait to see what you brought home!
glad you loved our "digs", and i wanna see a pic of you in your gypsy skirt!! ;)
suzanne
Wow - it looks amazing! Can't wait to read what you really got!
oooooohhhhhh! loving the dirt! i cant wait to see everything you got! i bet you snatched up all those rulers! ha! and i love that pix of you and your "man"! so funny! i wish we had something like that here in florida!
Was the Junk Gypsy shop there? They are my favorite. I've bought from them online. Maybe I'll see you in Round Top in the spring! We should plan to meet up!
OMG - can't wait to see what you do with the screens - my daugher just threw away about a dozen - old, green -
Wow! This was a great day for you! Love your new finds. I will be waiting (impatiently) to see what you do with all these wonderful treasures.
Thanks for the comment on the blog yesterday.
Oh~My~Stars!!! I saw about 50 things I wanted!! LOVE your packing abilities! Hey, we are women, hear us roar! AND... Where there is a will, baby, there is a way!!!
I am still SO JEALOUS!!!
Glad you had fun and cannot wait to see what you do with your TREASURES!!!
Lou Cinda :)
Love your boyfriend Susie... he's the perfect man.. great body, no head to talk back with.
Oh Susie-girl! What fun you had!!! And such great treasures!
Looks like you & your sister had a great time!! Thanks for sharing all the pics!
OH I AM SOOO JEALOUS!
I am trying not to covet but boy is it a tough one with these great pics. Maybe I need to plan a trip to Texas.
I am having a giveaway on my blog. Hope you can stop by.
Ruth
what a blast! too bad texas is way to far for me drive! i loved all those old spindles and the ladders! i can relate to the full car, empty wallet :)
I better start saving for next year eh? how awesome! that you went and had a good time (duh)
I would have not been able to photograph much - or else been like a tourist in another country with my camera "oh my! look at that" .......you know...like someone would say at Niagra Falls (I'd much rather go to Texas)
awesome! thanks for sharing!!
Wow, pay dirt! Such fantastic things!
I have been saying for years that I'd get to Roundtop "one day". Now that I have an "empty nest", I think next spring's show just might be that day! Your posts have me hyperventilating over the possibility!
I absolutely love your blog! I love your taste and find it quite funny that you are an LSU fan while your husband is a hog fan. I myself am a fan of the hogs as Fayetteville is my "home" and am now in OSU cowboy land and my best friend is an LSU fan! You can bet my daughter has her fair share of cheerleading gear! Where in Texas did you find this place? I am in OKC, An hour to Dallas I believe?
You are too cute Susie and I'm glad to hear that you bought a lot! I may just have to join you in the spring since I'm so bummed I missed it this fall and you had too much fun without me! :-)
Looks like you all had a blast! I can't believe you're signing autographs! ;)
for those kind of treasures, i love me a little dirt. I can not wait to see what you do with the screens
Looks like a lot of fun!
My mom had a ton of those square dancing petticoats, too bad I dont have any now.
I am seeing a trend of people going to these lately and I am getting sooo envious! I've never been but it's on the top of my list now, lol. :)
Also, I'm having my first giveaway if you're interested:

Dude! I thought it started tomorrow??? Clearly you and many others have been and at least partially cleaned out the place. You supposed there's much left?

Oh! I just Googled Round Top Texas and found one that is East of Austin. Is that it? I hope so!!
I love those yard sticks! Just thinking of all the wonderful decorating I could do with those. Can't wait to see what you do with them.
