This fall I went to the Round Top Antique Show like I do every time. The shopping is amazing. If you want to see what the booths look like, CLICK HERE. Many of you asked me what I bought personally for myself and so I’m sharing that information today.
First I bought a gorgeous necklace made from an antique French plate. I wear it all the time! The ‘ND’ I am told is for Notre Dame. I bought the necklace from Brocante Treasures.
Another find I was very excited about is this set of silver napkin rings, monogrammed with Lola and Lottie. The dealer didn’t know if they were plate or sterling. Since she didn’t know, they were priced assuming they were silverplate. I thought they were gorgeous!
Then I found these little pitchers (3rd and 4th from left) to add to my small collection of blue and white pitchers.
I also found this amazing monogrammed antique sheet from Marseilles. It’s extra long, and I’ve haven’t figured out how I’ll use it yet.
The rugs are also from Round Top. I talked about them here.
Lastly that’s where I found my fringe purse. Maybe it’s because I am part Cherokee, I don’t know, I just know I have always loved fringe.
I know most of you can’t make it to Round Top. So I’ve done a round up of similar items below. These are affiliate links, enjoy the shopping!
The pitchers are super cute! Glad you enjoyed yourself. 🙂
Wonderful treasures! I especially love the blue and white pitchers.
Anita, do wish I could go to Round Top, but unfortunately it’s just too far of a drive from Tennessee. On a separate note, we are building a cabinet for our new kitchen similar to your cabinet with the chicken wire and I would appreciate your advice. The contractor put in regular chicken wire but it is wavy and very loose . Did you use a heavier gauge since yours does not appear this way and photos?.
Love the napkin rings andsheet! it would make a wonderful curtain to drape across a door.
I HAVE ONLY BEEN TO ROUND TOP ONCE, AND LOVED SOME SPECIAL THINGS, JUST NO ROOM IN OUR CAR TO BRING ANYTHING BACK THEN!!! ONE BIG DOG TAKES WHOLE BACK END, WOULD LOVE TO GO BACK ANY TIME!!
Hi Anita, I went to Round Top this year too. My first time – although I’ve wanted to go for ages. It was so much fun but somewhat overwhelming! I loved Marburger Farm if nothing else than for the inspiration.
I love your display of little blue and white pitchers. I may have to use that display idea for my white ironstone. Love your blog!
I love the blue and white pitchers. I am on the east coast and have never heard of this, but I would sure love to go.
I want to go to round top so bad. I hope next year is my year to go
Love, love, love the blue pitchers. As you know, they would be lovely on my hutch!
I like that as a good nesting spot for those blue & white pitchers. You get a lot of visual impact and they’re clear of the cabinet doors. Smarty pants engineer!

Would love to have gone to Round Top this year. You can bet I will make it next year. I have a sister who wants to go, it is just dragging her away from her stuff and job in Oklahoma. Living in Houston, it is not far. I can’t wait. Back in Oklahoma the big deal is to go to War Eagle in NW Arkansas every October. I really don’t think it is as big and great as Round Top. I am getting their emails, so I will know what is going on there. I am planning on attending the Waller County Vintage Market Days next weekend, October 28 – 30, it should be great. Very close by for all of us Houstonians. Thanks for sharing!
Anita, Roundtop is such a fun time! We go twice a year and love it, you never know what you are going to find, whether you need it or not, lol! Love all your goodies, especially the necklace, what a unique find.
I am living vicariously through you lucky ducks that get to go to Round Top, Lucketts and the like! Love the napkin rings. They harken back to a time when we took pleasure in infusing beauty for beauty’s sake. I especially liked the fringe purse as I picked one up, myself, this summer! I take it everywhere. My girls call me a hippie but I don’t care…maybe I am or maybe, like you- it is the Shoshone Indian in me. Aw, I think I would like it no matter what! Thanks for sharing your treasures with us!
I love the uniqueness of that necklace. Would love to make it to Roundtop in the fall.
LOVE LOVE LOVE those blue and white pitchers! I’ve displayed blue and white plates and platters but never thought of about pitchers. Those are now on my Must Find List.
I love the Round Top market. It’s so fun to see what everyone decides they cannot live without from there. This year my “must have” was a 10 ft antique oak French work table that we will use as our patio table. Can’t wait for the spring opening !!
All your treasures are gorgeous! Thanks for letting us experience Round Top through you.
Love the silver napkin holders…if only they could speak, what fun tales they would tell(!) Great finds all around.
I love all your treasures – Going to Round Top is definitely on my Bucket List!
Wish I lived closer to Round Top antique show. I love to browse in antique shops. I collect blue and white dishes and would love to have those 2 pitchers.
On your Marseilles linen, I have taken dresser scarves and used the decorative ends and framed them (points at center) and used one of my real shell buttons at center. Wis I could figure out how to attach a picture. Love old linens and French is a plus. Thank you for your emails!

I love the items you bought. That necklace is so unique. I think because blue and white are my favorite 2 colors to decorate with. Your small pitchers on your mantle are so pretty.
Anita, super finds. LOVE the napkin rings. Round Top must be amazing
Cindy
I absolutely love your finds! I got to go to Round Top once…so much fun!
Hugs,
Judy
Fringe! Your purse is wonderful…enjoy.
Great finds! Can’t wait to see what you do with that sheet! And the necklace is fantastic.
I love it all, great taste! Love how you displayed your wine!
Absolutely love the pitchers!!
Love the rugs and blue and white pitchers.
I love the sign—and this blog!
Anita! Totally dying for that amazing necklace. I’m thinking a girls trip to Round Top is in my future if i can con you into being our tour guide!!!
Tina, I think I can arrange that, but you know what I want…. Ha!!!
Deal!!! You got it!
Deal Tina!!!
Thank you for posting all the treasures Anita new to me (Round Top ) .
As usual….love all your finds……..I have to live vicariously through you to fill my own love of the same things. We have awesome taste, don’t you think. (haha). Would love an hour of your wonderful expertise!!!
Hope to see you at Roundtop in the Spring!!! I’m obsessed with the napkin rings…..I too have started a
Collection of mismatched sterling ones, or at least I think they are sterling…..hmmmmm.
Fondly,
Julie
Anita, I love the necklace. It is so beautiful- well done! I would love to know your favorite places to go during Round Top. I know that you and I met at Marburger Farms. Do you have some other places to shop as well? We go for two days, and always go to Marburger fall opening day. Do you go in the spring, too? Is it the same quality as the fall? Goodness, what I have asked you is like a blog post. Thank you for doing these great posts on Round Top. It is truly a Texas Treasure. I have another Texas Treasure for you, and it is a field trip. Sometime when you get up to Dallas, check out the Dallas Arboretum, and especially the Arboretum’s DeGolyer House (stay- have lunch there!) and tour the grown-up side of the Dallas Arboretum. It is particularly stunning right now, with 50,000 pumpkins among the flowers. If you go at Christmas you will love what they do with decorating the DeGolyer House. Bring your daughters if you can; the photography opportunities are endless year-round. Anyway my dear, you are our Texas Treasure. Thank you for writing to us all. Have a good weekend!
I love round top! Such unique finds but have found it to be a bit pricey. Can you comment on how to find bargains?
Prices have gone way up. You just have to look around. There’s no easy answer to that sadly.
Those napkin rings!!! HEART EYES!
Hi, Anita! I will probably never get to Round Top from here in Michigan, but it’s certainly fun to see what you found. My absolute favorite is the fringy purse. Gorgeous color. But it’s a hard choice between the purse and the little blue and white pitchers. I am addicted to little (or big) white pitchers.
Thanks for showing and telling about your trip to RT.
