Texas- Round Top Style


You just might miss Round Top, Texas.
Unless you have read about it in 
Country Living magazine
 or antique destination- top picks.
Our day of exploring 
also had a few surprises.
Quite unexpected-
  the view when we to stepped inside
 the Concert Hall
 for the International Festival Institute
 in Round Top.
 The Festival was established in 1971 by pianist
 James Dick in Round Top, Texas. 
 It provides musical education programs 
throughout summer and hosts
 several concerts every year.
Royer's Cafe- will always have a line.
Quirky decor. 
The shrimp BLT 
and of course the pies- 
with Blue Bell ice cream.

 Junk Gypsy
 has put Round Top on the must-stop list
 for the repurposed mavens of the world.
Maybe a bit more of the 
commercial line of shop-fill 
than the found and remade items these days.
Twice a year- 100,000 folks descend 
on this small town for the Big antique shows.
Hanging our with shopping friends-
 always GOOD!
And you just might have to make a detour 
on your way to or from Round Top
 to stop at the Blue Bell Ice cream plant.
 Can't beat the big scoop
 of your favorite flavor for $1.
