Road Trippin’ to Round Top

by Lindsay Ballard on April 4, 2014 12 Comments

This weekend has been what has gotten me through every hour of 2nd grade homework, every 3 year old tantrum and every oversized load of laundry for the past few months.  I have been counting down the weeks, days and minutes.  My friend Heather (the Queen of Everything) and I are road trippin’ to the Round Top antique market on Saturday.

Being the crazy gals that we are (I’m just saying that the two of us in tandem are dangerous), we are going to shop ’til we drop.  This will be my 5th (6th?) trip to Round Top – one of the country’s best antique/vintage shows – and Heather’s first. It’s a good thing I drive a pickup truck.

We thought it would be fun to let you guys in our trip, so we decided to real-time Instagram our road trip and shopping experience – the good, the bad, and the ugly (and I promise there will be loads of all 3).

Follow along on Instagram to virtual shop the Round Top antique market.  Search #werockroundtop on IG!

If you are on Instagram, follow along with #werockroundtop to see what we are up to tomorrow.  And I’m sure I’ll be looking for buying advice from you – I’ve been known to get caught up in the excitement and buy things that I don’t actually “need.”

Have you ever been to Round Top before?  Want to go?  Never heard of it?

    We went to Round Top 2 years ago. Came home with a stuffed bobcat. Oddly enough, that’s what I went there looking for. Anything and everything is at one of the sites if you’re willing to look long enough. It’s great fun.

      It is SO much fun. I love that you bought a stuffed bobcat. Believe it or not, I saw one there this year, too, and immediately thought of your comment. 🙂

      I missed seeing you, Heather! We literally thought we might die of exhaustion before we made it there (we were coming from the Warrenton end). I hope you had a great week!

      You should come in the fall! Or next spring! It’s so much fun.

      My phone had ZERO service out there. I was so sad! I’m glad Heather was able to post some things.

      I TOTALLY remember that. Speaking of, I haven’t heard anything about him lately. I wonder what he’s up to?

    OOOO, I’m so jealous!!!! I LUHVE going to Round Top, but I no longer have anyone to go with (my friends get too overwhelmed with it, which I just don’t understand). Have a great time. I will have to live vicariously thru your IG pics!
