This is a section dedicated to some of the food available at RoundTop - but I do not believe this is a comprehensive list. (Page 129-130 of the guide listed above)

From what I’ve read, some of the specific sections (or “fields”) have their own dining options/food courts.

Girl, I could have told you that Marburger Farms wasn't worth your time on a trip like that! Beautiful, but SOOO expensive when your time is limited. You should go to Warrenton (the little town just north on the same highway) on the week prior to Round Top. It's much more DIY friendly. I've gone several times (Texas girl here) and have found that Warrenton is the place to be!
You're not the only one sharing that tip! Makes me excited for my next TX trip!
Girl, yes!! I will hopefully see you there this fall! I love Warrenton and thankfully only live an hour away.
I have been going to Round Top for years. I have found many treasures out in the “fields” , not buildings or fancy tents. The dealers in those buildings and tents have, in many cases, gone out to the small sellers in the fields as they are setting up and purchased items to resell in their own expensive booths. I have seen this many times. In some cases dealers wait as large trucks are unloaded to pick out items to resell. I usually go a week before round top actually begins, to shop the small booths and tents which set up early.
So fun! I'm in Texas so I've gone with girlfriends a few times. We've never gone to the permanent structures but always had lots of luck at the tents, especially in Warrenton just down the road. 😍
I am lucky to live in the furniture capital of the world. (NC) Lots of fabrics! Lots of everything really. Texas looks like a beautiful place to visit and shop.. you have great taste! I love your beautiful home!
I’ve heard about this Flea Market, and I’ve been wanting to visit, with my sisters.😍👊🏻
I was at the goodwill a couple of days ago and I got about 6 yd of very pretty red and gold upholstery material for 3.99 for all of it the whole 6 yd was only 3.99 I thought that was an awesome deal and I've got so many great things went to yard sale Friday and found all kinds of beautiful blankets and rugs for $2 a piece was so excited the blankets were very nice
A fabulous stash! I'll start saving now for next year! 💝 Thanks for sharing Sarah!
Been there, done that, got the T-shirt. Love antique week. I went twice a year for over 20 years until my husband became disabled and I was unable to leave him. We made it a bi-annual girls trip, we would go for 3-4 days and had a large group that would go. We always stayed in LaGrange. I always found Marburger Farms to be expensive and not worth the admission price. I used to go waaay back before it got so ridiculous. One year we had to rent two U-Haul trailers to bring back all the stuff one of my friends bought. She was re-furnishing her vacation home in Galveston after it was flooded by the hurricane.
Delightful! Thank you, Sarah!
What a fun trip! Thanks for sharing!
So fun to see what you all saw!!
Wow some impressive things there looks like a great day out, I love what you found ❤🐦🦋
Hi Sarah Thanks for taking us all along. What a fun trip. Magnolia is definitely on my bucket list. Have heard about round top So much history in those pieces.
Enjoy your style. Have always wanted to go to Round Top! Glad you got to visit. 😊
Been there many years and love every minute of it
Especially in the spring come prepared for any type of weather. We’ve worn shorts and sandals one day and coats and gloves the next. Bring your rubber boots because it can get muddy if it rains.
I randomly came across this video today. So fun to see you show my booth (The Brown Shed) at Marburger Farm.
♥♥ How fun! Hope to meet you in person next time I make it out there!
Oh my goodness. Thank you so much for taking us along. Looking forward to your other stops and what you are going to do with that fabulous fabric you bought. I just love how you style and blend different objects together. I am changing toward a french country/english cottage decor. Not specifically the dark french country or eiffel towers all over, but the feminine light flowery feel. You are truly inspiring.
That was great, thank you for sharing!!!
Wow how lovely! Thank you so much ❣
WOW. When I win the lottery, I'm there. Thanks for traveling there for all of us to see. True inspiration.💕
what a dream girl’s trip! I can’t wait to join the group! Thanks for sharing!
Loved all the tips, thank you!!!
Oh boy . Wonderful treasures.
Thanks for all the great tips, Round Top is on my list to visit.
Enjoyed.
The brass ash bucket is awesome. Have a blessed Easter.
I want to visit and buy, for me is like therapy 😊🌷 Happy Easter
Thank you for the video.
The Brimfield Fair in Brimfield, MA is very similiar. I was always told that Brimfield was the largest antique/flea market! Worth checking out, it comes twice a year, May and July. Price gouging for sure, good deals towards the end of the week. Wear your muck boots, the fields are muddy!
Also in fall
Looks like a fun trip!! I would love to go someday but for now I work full time. You found some cute treasures ❤
Thanks!, I live in granite falls wa. I have wanted to go there forever. So fun just to look❤️
Oh wow! I have been following you for a while now and was so excited to hear you went to Round Top! I am a vendor at LaBahia! If and when you come back I would love for you to stop by and say hi!!!
Great info!
Thank you for sharing! I have had my eye on this place for years but I’m not from this part of the country. You provided a great glimpse at the reality of the situation. Everything always looks beautiful there but some of it feels disappointing in terms of price point value and it being worth the trip.
I live nearby and go every spring and Fall. If you want polished off pieces for your home, go to Round Top. If you want pieces to re-do or upcycle yourself, then go to Warrenton. My fave! Marburger is a rip off! Warrenton is the BEST! ❤️
Round Top is great. I went 25 years ago with my Texas-native husband while visiting family in TX. Then it was huge, parking in fields, rural Texas, and I am sure it's way bigger now. But it was so much fun!
We did this one year so much fun and vendors.
Love Round Top❤️
I love that white hutch .
So fun!
“…so I think I’ll use it as an ash bucket.” 😂
Sorry I missed and couldn’t find the 1st video on antiquing at Roundtop…enjoyed this one…Brought back memories of shopping Antiques Show Roundtop…both in the Spring and also the Fall! When I had an Antique Shop in Illinois a number of years ago…it was a great place to shop and you mentioned Magnolia Pearl…she was set up at Marburger at that time before she had a store of her own…I purchased many of her clothes creations! I will be interested in your next video with Magnolia Pearl…Carolyn
I enjoyed being a virtual friend on this treasure hunt
Wow $40 just to take a look. I went to Round Top a few years ago and no one charged entry fees. I'm looking forward to the Fall sale and definitely going. Several of the stores you mentioned also have Brick & Mortar stores in Canton, TX. - First Monday i.e. Paul Michael. I have found that shopping out on the grounds and away from the Pavilions always seem to provide better prices as well as more vintage items. The items you found are fabulous! Love that gold pillow and all the fabrics! Hugs!!
We live Northwest of Austin so Roundtop was quite a trek for us but we went last fall. In our early seventies... and it was hard on these old bodies... but we enjoyed it. Didn't buy much but took some items to sell and did pretty well there. 😊
Just a little tidbit to add to the other Texas girls. I’ve heard, more than once, that the Marburger vendors shop the Warrenton fields the week before they open and triple the price for resell.
Thanks for taking us along.A lot of goodies,and treasures. There used to be 2 sisters from Round Top.They did a junk to treasure DYI long before anyone else did.They were a lot of fun,I don't know what happened to them.
Junk Gypsies now has a permanent store near Round Top.
Thank you for this video. Very interesting. I love antiqueing and it's interesting to see that that your prices can also go as high as here in South Africa.
Greetings from Cape town.
Sweetie, you can be “entertained”by the port a potties but there are older pickers like me that need them close by!
Warrenton is the best place for shopping in my humble opinion, great selection & fair prices. Also good food, entertainment & super friendly people.
Would love to go to Round Top with you!! So much inspiration!
Let’s go sherry..😊
Ohhh Sherry⚘😁 you have a comment...my two favorite channels 😊 yours, and she holds dearly🌷
Sherry, come next year!
I live 15 minutes from Warrenton and host day trips to Round Top and Warrenton during the fall and spring shows. Most vendors are open two weeks on the fall and spring. Marburger and the Big Red Barn are only open the last 5-6 days. Definitely the better deals are in the fields, but you’re likely to see celebrities and their famous designers at Marburger.
You really need to add Bayberry's Antiques in Burton to your list. Very affordable and we offer everything your hunting for. Hope to see you !
Nice !! Thanks for sharing ..I’m only 3 hrs away from there and have never been 🤦🏼♀️
same here- but have been thru area at other times
How did you divvy up car space for all your finds? I love the idea of a community check list. The more eyes the better! The green velvet is my favorite 😍
even if it's not in your price point you get to see and touch such beautiful authentic antiques. That's how you hone your tastes. Also helps to see potential in less expensive diy dupes.
Great points, Tina!
You need to check out Fredericksburg, TX Trade Days!
I live in San Antonio (have only been here about a year and a half), but I didn’t know Round Top was a thing until now. 😅 Sounds like you had a really good time even if the prices were a little cray. 💚
For anyone who buys stuff that won’t fit in a regular suitcase…you can check a cardboard moving box ($5 Home Depot) as long as it meets the measurement/weight requirements the airline won’t care 👍 always over tape you’ll never regret it!
Thank you for the tip! Saving that for next year's trip.
Those locals in the way into and out off RT is really how the whole thing started......You'll find good stuff for good prices.....just don't get there b/4 me....lol
If you like traveling......the town of Brimfield, MA. Has 3 different weekends a year. Sellers take over the town, I am talking football field sizes of Antiques etc. One year there was a tractor traiIer full of juke boxes. Anything and everything. Fun
Yes, it's on our list for a future trip! :)
You’re so consistent Thank you for inspiring me to push harder with my videos 🙏💕
Should’ve gone to Warrington to the Tent City free and just as beautiful with the items they have for sale.
Wow I would be so upset if I paid $40 just to get in only to see price gouging done to extreme levels. I agree, just going to roadside people would be the better thing to do. I live an hour from the Chicago Randolph Street Antique market which is fabulous and has great prices, Cedarburg Wi has 4 huge flea markets every year with great prices, and we have so many great antique stores here in WI that I just could never justify going to this. I am just floored at the prices. Especially when I've seen these things at a fraction of the cost. It's so upsetting to see Joanna Gaines price gouge for her products, now as well. Money, money, money! I enjoy seeing through your trips though! It's fun to look!
Whhattt??? I live in this area. When are the cedarburg ones? I’d love to go! And which others do you know in WI?
Thank you!!!!
Thanks, would you share more about the good spots in WI
Idk, the old world antieks looked kinda like a tj max…..too many of the same things make me think not antiques. Looked like fun otherwise. Tfs, Sarah.
Agree. Looks like they made sure they had multiple items with the same trendy finish and hardware
So much info. Thanks for taking us along. I’m curious if you go with a budget in mind or throw caution to the wind.
I always like to have a shopping list and a budget range in mind for most of my shopping adventures! But I think it depends on what you're looking for, and what you have available to spend on it! ;) :)
Sarah, when you return to Round Top… be sure to hit The Cottonseed Trading Co. She has amazing American farm antiques. Located in a permanent structure now… Round Top Village.
Thank you for the recommendation!
Hi Sarah I can't wait to watch this later today :) I have a, ? I don't see you decorating with quilts-unless I missed it. I think quilts should make a come back-what do u think? Love all ur videos. Blessings
I often use white quilts as a layer on my slipcovered couch to make it easier to clean, but haven't incorporated many other quilts currently!
Fun to see. Would you ship something home if you found something you really wanted? How would you style crystal doorknobs in a home, other than on the doors. I live in a 1940's home with many crystal knobs, and have a couple extra, I am guessing where doors have been removed in remodeling.
I live in round top tx and most of the places are up and running a week before everything starts . As someone who lives in round top my only issue is the trash that's left behind and everytime the antique starts bad weather comes too .
My favorite place to shop. Take a suitcase full of money. ☺️
I've been going to Roundtop for years. Marburger Farm is my favorite because of the unique items. Also like Blue Hills. The Arbors has become mostly new jewelry and clothing. What is disappointing to see is all the made in Indonesia mass products that people think are antique but newly made like Old World Anteiks. Wish the show was veted to keep them out. More and more new permanent buildinigs are popping up each year. Will soon be a full-time place to go.
The Marburger farm was purchased by a LA company but they kept the name.
Rachel Ashwell has a place to stay so quaint. Also a good place to is The White House On The Hill.
Rachel Ashwell had The Prairie, but she sold it a couple of years ago, and I don’t think she has another place in the area.
This was so fun! I love the gold/camel velvet fabric and pillow you found! I have that same exact horse head that you showed at 12:20, but I slightly “gilded” mine and hung a huge antique gilded oval frame around it in my entry hall. Thanks for showing so many different ranges of shops and items! I’d probably just get in trouble down there! 😂☺️. Oh wow, yep, the warehouses at the end would REALLY get me in trouble! All those baskets and breadboards…I’d probably just faint. 💜
What a great video! Ten years ago, we went to Round Top to see the sights and only came home with amazing doughnuts! My daughter and her family lived about an hour away so we had to check out the area. Thank you for the virtual tour. Lovely!
Did you have the occasion to see any bloggers or famous designers? The camel velvet pillow is beautiful.
Not on this trip! But it was still a great experience to be there. :)
WHAT!!!!! If I wanted to spend on those prices I’d go to a shop where they will wrap and deliver!
I went for years. Never pay $40 to a venue. Take some back roads to other small communities. They have stuff for sell all over the lands between La Grange to Brennan and Giddings to Sealy. Take the back Roads!!! Go in April. but take some antihistamines cause things will be blooming in the fields. For best weather conditions. Oct. you never know what you will get. Hot or Wet.
Is cash preferred, if so, I know it depends on budget, but how much money did most of you take?. I’m assuming most are set up for credit cards too. You may answer these questions later, I’m 1/2 way through. Thanks for sharing your trip. So would like to go!!
What B&B did you stay in? I'm from Overton Texas and our friends from here moved there and opened The Wander Inn, they own the Junk Gypsy. It wasn't there, was it?
It was a few hours away called Little Creek Cottage! A friend owned it and rented it out as an Airbnb, but they've since sold it and moved on to other things! th-cam.com/video/CBWhe0gingE/w-d-xo.html
U can make some pillows out of some
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
I live not far from you in Washington and visited Texas for Roundtop in 2020 but missed it because they moved the dates. I’ve been debating on returning but want to know your opinion since we thrift the same places. Is it worth it? I feel between Washington And Oregon we have it pretty good.
I agree we have it pretty great here. I'd still suggest checking out Roundtop, at least once for the experience if you're able!
Does RT have places where one can dig??? I can’t afford a mirror for thousands of dollars but am willing to dig for treasures!! TY
Yes, We skimmed just the surface in our one day trip shopping there. We found some great "mom & pop" type tent set ups along the road and I think you'd have a lot of fun searching in places like those!
How do you get your purchases home?
Some I was able to pack into my checked bags for the airline (check with your specific airline about what additional costs this might include), and some of my packages I paid to ship back via UPS.
Marburger antiques are the real thing. Mostly for designers.
I used to sell to people that sell at Warrenton, Round Top and Marberger. I have friends that still sell there. RT and Marberger are overrated.
Just wanted to let you know. Round top is not the largest in the world, not even the largest in the United States. Also, it goes for two weeks, not one week. Also, La Bahia is two words. The rest, I think you did a good job. Have a good evening . 😊
Where are the antiques? At least Brimfield actually has antiques.
don't pan so fast! my eyeballs go crazy and my head spins. mostly, i can't take it in fast enough!
