The Rodeo Royalty ladies have transformed Round Top’s iconic Merry Christmas store into a heavenly space for their fashion fantasies, and it’s open weekends year round. The space is now a romantic beach shack, submerged in light and full of waves and waves of lacy, frothy bits. So very,
very pretty!
My trusty iPhone 4S camera seemed possessed by this store. Every single shot glows with girliness.
What’s best about the new Rendezvous field is that it truly is a place to rendezvous. There’s primo shopping, of course, but there’s also bottled beer, wine and margaritas, great food from the Bake Shoppe and Cafe, and Shivers’ frostyful snow cones (Yes, you definitely want the Rendezvous Special with lemon, cream and lavender sprinkles).
The location is practically across from Marburger, so when you’re in the neighborhood be sure to pull in, pull up a picnic bench and join the bloggers, birthday partiers and plain old happy antiquers for the refreshment of your choice.
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.
