I always go the Round Top Antique Show every spring and fall. This Fall 2017 was a hot one. The high temperatures are not unusual. Luckily, the shopping is always worth it.
I shared some of the booths I visited this fall HERE. Today I want to show you what I found. It was low-key for me. I was mainly taking photos, but did manage to work some shopping in. I found this lovely silver-plated napkin holder with initials A.B. It’s quadruple plate so it is probably not going to lighten up any with polishing.
It also has a couple of swans on it also. It was about $10. I can’t remember the price of the sterling napkin ring holders, but they were much, much more expensive.
I also found this silver trophy. I could see right away that it’s not real silver and it’s not actually vintage. Still at $15, I’ll take it! It’s quite tall and very heavy.

I also bought an antique French tablecloth and matching napkins. These were much more expensive.
They are truly lovely. I plan to use them to make some bedroom pillows. Some of the napkins have some holes, so I will have to work around those. 
The linens I bought from BROCANTE TREASURES. Can you tell I have a thing for monograms. I don’t even care that it isn’t my monogram. My friend Caroline always goes with me to Round Top. We actually met Amy from Brocante Treasures for dinner one night; I’ve bought from her before. She and her lovely sister ended up staying with Caroline and me for one night, since the water and electricity weren’t on at her house yet. As a sweet thank you, I found this beautiful antique purple and white bowl in the morning. She knows me!
The bowl is so lovely and goes so well with my other purple dishes that I bought from Amy.
I also bought a few other small items there that were new, not vintage. I meant to show you these a few weeks ago, but the time just got away from me.
Oh those linens are gorgeous and love the napkin ring…such beautiful detail and a great price. … Yes, a very sweet thank you gift indeed!
Shirley good to hear from you!!! Hope to see you one of these days before too long.
I love the trophy. It is so distinctive. The long neck is so cool.
I also thought it was an unusual piece Frances.
You scored some real treasures! I came across a cadre of French Medis linen tablecloths with exquisite monogramming at Goodwill about 6 months ago. They were $10 each. I didn’t have the heart to grab them all up since I knew that many folks make a living from resale and these would be a great find for them. I carefully chose about four that suited my need for new curtains and a couple for tablecloths. The monogramming is some of the most well executed that I have ever seen. I hung the tablecloths with the monogramming displayed; the top folded over as if on a bed. They fit the bill perfectly!
Now to a question that I have regarding the olive topiary shown on your Falling for Fall blog. Your link was to Pier I but I cannot find said topiary. In fact, I have not been able to find a similar topiary anywhere. Any suggestions? Thanks for your wonderful blog. I am a blue/white gal myself and I get lots of ideas and nuggets of gold from you 🙂
Hi Deb, I found mine at Wayfair. They have the small size for $28, under “small green ficus olive topiary”.. I don’t get the “ficus” part, but they definitely look like olive trees. Hope that helps.
You are so nice!!!! So good to save some of those things for others. Try this link for the trees. http://rstyle.me/~a7OPc
The linens are so lovely, as is the silver napkin ring. I too, have a great love for monograms, no matter what they are. The purple and white dish is so sweet. You had an awesome day, I’m sure. Great work!
Thank you Ellenann. Don’t you wish those old things could tell us their secrets?
Oh my what some beautiful treasures you scored!!! Thank you for sharing the photos of the Round Top Antique Show I hope someday to get to go God bless
I hope you do Norma. It’s so much fun, and there are so many treasures there.
Take US antiquing with you when you shop! I love seeing what you see! Antiques are my way to decorate and I love to see other shops, see where you go to antique and buy vintage things. Round Top is on my “Bucket List.”
Sherry, I wish I could actually take you with me. It’s so much fun.
You are so sweet Anita. Thank you for your hospitality. That trophy does have a beautiful shape. I can’t wait to see what you do with the linens. I am keeping an eye out for more pieces you might like. Take care.
I so enjoyed our visit! Hope to see you this spring.
Your finds are beautiful, especially the linens with my initials on them! ? So exquisite and I look forward to seeing what you do with them. I also make pillows out of vintage linens as well as curtains. It gives my farmhouse a unique look that store bought pillows and curtains cannot compete with.
Beautiful finds, Anita! I came home with a few things myself …. another wooden carrying box, a topiary for my front porch, and a small silver gift for a friend. Always fun, even if I don’t buy much.
Ohhhh, those linens are GORGEOUS!! I’d love to fly out to Texas some day for a Round Top trip!! 😉
You would love it Katie!
