One visit to Round Top and I am already trying to think of a way to move there.
The shops in the main square are situated in cute houses around a lovely, little church.
Oh and there’s pie.
Dutch Apple Pie (thank you Ann!)
The Marburger Farm Antique Show was a great reason to head to the foothills of the hill country. Luckily I was traveling with some regulars. My wonderful aunt Ann and her incredible, navigator daughter Leslie made sure I saw all there was to see.
Rows upon rows of antiques dealers from all across the country. This is an event you cannot miss.
The traffic can be a little intense, but the drive between Brenham, Round Top, Fayetteville, and La Grange is scenic – with rolling hills and green pastures. The Czechs and Germans knew what they were doing when they claimed their stake of Texas.
Brenham has plenty to offer. A bbq restaurant called Nathan’s, a downtown area boasting many shops, and of course the Blue Bell Factory
The drive from Austin is relaxing. As you head east on Hwy 71, you enter a stretch of pine trees and come upon the town of La Grange
And La Grange has much to offer including kolaches that will rival any you have had in West.
A great shop called Busy B’s that I failed to take a picture of, but where I found some really nice decor for the holidays as well as gifts
I struggle to put into words how beautiful and relaxing this area of Texas is and I look forward to visiting more towns in this area like Schulenburg, Bastrop, and Giddings. If you haven’t been, visit soon or at least put the antique festival on your list of things to do during the spring or fall in Texas!
