Yes, they’re TV stars, but around here the Gypsies sisters are famous for their totally over the top JuNK-O-RaMA Prom. Their bedazzling new store in Round Top sings with twangy affection for everything bright and beauteous. It is radiant!
Paint anything blue and I’ll take a picture of it.
Maybe you do this too, but I Christmas shop all year round. Bargains, clever things, special finds… they all go in the storage bin under the bed until December.
The good news? You've discovered The Crush List. The not so good? I haven't been actively posting here for a few years now, which means the never terribly reliable details about my crushes are even more unreliable. Antique vendors have switched venues, shops in town have moved or passed on, donkeys may or may not be in the same front yards... In spite of the risks of massive misdirection I've left the site up in hopes that it still achieves its goal - to inspire you to visit Round Top for the Antiques Show or any time you have the time.
With that said, I leave you to explore this random list of my very favorite things about my very favorite place. I’ve tried to capture the area’s special pieces and parts. Some are big deal, some are small gestures, some are legendary and some are just tiny pip and squeak.
