Treasure Hunting at Antiques Week in Texas
LeAnn Wester Stephenson
Our Golden Retriever, AJ, does this little prancy-dancy thing when we go out to play with or feed him. He wags his tail with such enthusiasm that I think sometimes he might take flight. He's just so overwhelmed by his anticipation and excitement that often he jumps off of the deck and takes a couple of "turbo-rear-end-in-low-gear" laps around the backyard. Well, I gotta tell ya, this is the way I feel about Antiques Week in Texas. And, apparently I'm not the only one who feels this way. Our man Stan Williams, author of The Find, has put Texas Antique Week at the top of his own personal list of favorite antiquing spots and Shelterpop has included it in its Top 5 Flea Markets in the Country. Stan described it this way: "If you want big, expensive items, they're there. If you want junk, it's there. It really has everything."
So, if you find joy in treasure hunting in overstuffed flea markets and are planning on attending Antiques Week this fall, I would love it if you would come by and see me at my spaces at Vickie Davis' wonderful venue at The Texas Rose Antique Show, located across from Marburger Farms, 2075 South State Highway 237. You can find directions here. The show begins Saturday, September 25th, and runs through Saturday, October 2, 2010.
Hope to see you there and happy hunting!
