Here are a few of my purchases from Round Top so far…..
I have been admiring these lantern style lights for quite some time, like the ones from Brown, even Ballard Designs has a version but you can’t beat $50 for these at the Seed Box, I could leave them like this or paint them dark. I really really like the shape and style and price! Remember the Seed Box is at the Coles Antique Show near the road in Warrenton. This vendor will back to the area in the fall for the Urban Market in Houston.
Today I picked up this little chair at La Bahia. It is the perfect size and color. I’ve already found a spot for it in my living room.
And this piece of crazy quilt. I have no need or place for this textile BUT when I spotted it and saw the good price I knew I could not leave it there. I am always suggesting clients look for things like this to hang over the fireplace or sofa. It will give some instant history and character to any room. You can’t buy these at Pottery Barn. So if anyone is interested in this piece, email and let me know…I have a few clients that will get first shot but if they aren’t interested, it is up for grabs! Round Top goes online! ha! FYI the quilt piece is 34″ x 58″ big enough to get two big pillows out of or a large lumbar or a nice size piece of artwork.
Look at the old piece of ribbon sewn into the quilt. love it.
Check back tomorrow to see Henry’s favorite booth at La Bahia..he has great taste!

Hey Holly:
Love the lanterns – good snag! Also, where’d you find your glass-base lamp? I’m looking for something very similar. Thanks!

We’re peas in a pod! I kept staring at these at the last two Urban Markets. Thinking if I stared at them long enough I just might figure out a way to make them work in my studio! Glad they have a good home now! Great taste! Wink!

Love your finds! If the crazy quilt is still up for grabs I’m interested.

Isn’t it so thrilling and relaxing to go antiquing/thrifting? Those lanterns are fabulous. And I also would love to know where you found that glass lamp. I have been keeping my eyes open for one!

Would you please pick up a couple of those lanterns and ship them to me in Michigan? Please consider this and let me know the price. Thank you!
