Hauling Issues

We started out this road trip to Round Top thinking we would be driving down a large Denali... Come early Saturday morning, when it was time to hit the road.. the battery wouldn't start.
So on to Plan B. We'll just take the Jeep.
Which would have been a good plan, had we not found 10 foot long adorable old circus fences at our very first stop! NOW WHAT!?
Luckily Waco is not all to far away and close enough for a strapping young fellow to bring his large truck (WITH TRAILER HITCH!!!) to swap us cars for the weekend!

Because as you can see.. the Jeep was full before 11am.... 
 So here is our plan C: F-350 and 12 foot trailer!!!
 Along the way we stopped to meet up with the lovelies at The Gypsy Wagon!
Complete with bad ass airstream, awesome 'sussies' and Texas hospitality for days- always a blast to hang with you guys:)
                                    
Their yard friends this year were ChafDAT and his crew!
Possibly the best place to stop for yummy food in Round Top this year?! I would say so!
 Pictures from our treasures and new items for the booth will be up soon- We are headed to The White Elephant THIS week to unload and deck out the booth!

See y'all soon- For the Love of Old Team!

Our Happy Place

Its only like the ‘bestest’ place ever!
We beat the crowds, we bared the heat and we picked, drank and ate all weekend long!

If you haven’t been to Warrenton, Texas your missing out. Fields and fields of countless vendors and treasures worth digging for! It’s like going to your happy place, not leaving, and forgetting the ‘real world’ exists just for a little while. Everyone is friendly, smiling and loving the junk just as much are you are. It just doesn’t get much better.

Each trip, its tradition to take a group picture by the letters of ZAPP hall.. this was us.. dirty, grimy, sweaty- but smiling from ear to ear after our first full day!

More pictures of our treasures and grand ol times in Roundtop are on the way!

And we’re off!!!
Following the ‘Yellow Brick Road’ to all things wonderful and the Junk Haven of Texas: ROUND TOP!

Since this only happens twice a year, the buildup is immense and the countdown seems endless… until it finally gets here!

We’ll be pickin’ and treasure hunting just for you!!
Can’t wait to load the booth and post pictures from our finds for y’all next week- stay tuned....
