My premature arrival at the Roundtop Antiques Week show was not a total loss.

As I said in my last post, we had a great meal at Royer's Roundtop Cafe, and we did manage to uncover a few goodies. Because we were so early we got first picks, so I'll share the booty:

We culled out seven incredible, hand embroidered Guatemalan aprons from a shipment fresh in from customs - very excited about the inspiration possibilities here.
a vintage serape surprisingly tucked away within some new reproductions - great colors.
a silk Chinese fan and 3 hanging lanterns - for a photo shoot.
Roy Rogers & Dale Evans paper doll set - couldn't resist.
a Mexican sombrero - great graphics.
a vintage, gab rodeo shirt - no brainer.
some miscellaneous letters - hmmm?

[…] Last year at Round Top, we met this vendor who sold us these beautiful Coptic crosses. He was very friendly and wanted his picture taken for the blog! […]

Our design inspiration comes in all shapes and sizes, in all forms, and from all angles. The Heritage Departure collections were born out of wanderlust. This transitional collection plays with colors and silhouettes that work beautifully in summer, fall, and beyond.

As the saying goes, “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure”, and no one brought more truth to that phrase than Santo Domingo Pueblo jewelry artisans. These masterpieces were made from whatever they could find.
