On the way home from the Antique Rose Emporium last weekend, Mom and I detoured to Round Top to see my friend Ryann Ford‘s antiques and homegoods shop, Townsend Provisions. We arrived right as the town was closing down, and as we strolled the main square, I kept saying to myself, How come I didn’t know this was here?

The tiny town, as many Texans know, is filled bumper-to-bumper in spring and fall for the Round Top Antiques Fair. It’s quieter in the off season but still filled with charming shops, country homes (including vacation rentals), a few home-style restaurants, and a wine bar with patio seating.

I’m definitely going to come back sometime this fall or winter to see everything.
