Antiquing in Texas Article

By ,

Rcfall08  The fall issue of Romantic Country magazine features my article about junkin' around the Texas fields in search of must have antiques during the Roundtop & Marburger Antique Shows.

Rcfall082 Seeing at all my photos in print sure makes it look glamorous! And although there is beauty everywhere you turn, you sometimes have to wade through miles of dirt and grass. But then again, that's all part of the adventure.

When you produce an article you turn in loads of photos along with your text and it's up to the Art Director and Editor to make them all work together into the vision they have for the magazine. Because there are so many photos,  some are not chosen to go to print but are still just as captivating. Here are a few additional ones that didn't make it to this feature but I thought I'd share with you. A sort of behind the scenes of my article.  {You can click on the pictures to enlarge!}

Rct43_edited-1 You can see there is a wide variety of antiques to choose from while shopping Antiques Week in Texas. The dealers put so much creativty into their displays and merchandise, many of them scouring the country if not the world to bring you the best of the best.  I hope you have a chance to pick up the latest issue of Romantic Country to read more details on making the trip for yourself. It's available nearly everywhere now, Target, Ralphs and even Sam's Club. You wouldn't want to miss this issue packed with vintage inspiration.

    I can’t wait to see article. We feature Romantic Homes right inside the front door of our shop. The photo of the ribbons took my breath away. I’d spend every dime I had right at that vendor.

    Hi Heather –
    I will look for the magazine for sure, the pictures are great! – I just returned from Round Top myself for the fall show. I was able to attend with 3 girl friends – what a blast!! We had so much fun “junkin”. I was a little afraid that a couple of the girls would not “get it” – but I think I’ve converted them. We’re booked already for next year! Thank you again for such inspiration.

    Just beautiful Heather.
    Can you explain to me the whole metal crown thing? I know it’s a green question.. but I am seeing them a lot in the altered art circles… and I recently picked up a beautiful one at a thrift store.. but I know nothing about it besides the fact that it is a very pretty, jeweled, size-adjustable metal crown.

    Heather, I love your decorating style! How is the kitchen coming along? I want to redo my kitchen, so I can’t wait to see how yours looks when it’s finished.
    I, also, want to redo my bedroom. I would love to see pics of yours for inspiration.

    Hi Heather it was fun to read your article when I got my magazine delivered. Fabulous to have a subscription and have it delivered here in Australia and to not have to go looking everywhere for it.
    It has been fun catching up on all of your posts I missed while I have been away from Blogland

    this texas gal wishes she was able to head home this year for the fantastic week in Round Top!
    I had a quick question for you if you have time…I recently found a crown like the ones you pictured above and blogged about it recently…can you tell me anything about them or at least the ones you saw and their prices…I think I got a good deal, but I am interested in their value and history…
    thanks!!
