“Marburger Farm has done it again. The twice yearly mega-show in Round Top, Texas has overcome hurricanes, wars, recessions and more. This Sept. 27–Oct. 1, the prospects included all of those, plus the tail end of the driest, hottest Texas summer in decades. But the not-so-little show that could pulled off a winner again.

Round Top Antiques Fairs

September 12th, 2011 by Pamela Murski

Round Top  this past Spring was great, as always and we are getting geared up for the Fall  shows!  We came home with a neat wrought iron cross sconce for the elopement gazebo, a beautiful piece of stained glass circa 1880 and a early 1900′s drop leaf table!  Be sure to put this semi annual antiques venue, which is the second largest in the nation, on your calendar as a “to do” item some time in your life.  We have the perfect place for you to come back to for a great nights sleep and delicious breakfast to fill  you up each  day before you head out on your shopping and bargaining excursion of a lifetime!

Check out this video from Channel 13 for a taste of what’s in store:

Royers Cafe

This is one of the dining experiences you don’t want  to miss when in town staying at the B&B.  Royers is best know for its’ pies but the food is pretty good too.  Just the atmosphere in this small town and its’ cafe is worth the short drive over.  For many it is a semi annual stop during the big Round Top Antiques Fairs.
