Round Top – Texas Flea Market
Last weekend, I was lucky enough to experience a HUGE Flea Market in Texas called Round Top, anyone been? It was miles upon miles of tents, vendors, food carts, and treasures waiting to be found! I am not going to lie, the first hour of my day was spent trying to calm myself down – there was just so much to look at. Can you say TOO visually stimulated!? I snapped a few pictures of things that especially caught my eye. I hope you guys enjoy. P.S. I did not leave empty handed – I can promise you that!! Go here to see a few more shots from the weekend.

Thanks for posting pics of my booth at Zapp Hall. You really captured some pretty shots. Hope you had a great time and come back in the Spring.

I WANT TO GO TO THERE.

pps, this looks like a dream !
My last flea market find were these incredibly awesome frames that I cleaned and painted a bright white. Now they are my favorite frames!
So we just moved to TX and missed this last weekend for some reason…I will for sure be there in the spring. Still kicking myself…
I went to a flea market this weekend also.
In Canton, TX…called Canton Trade Days. Ever heard of it?!!
This one you went to looks like a genuine flea market.
Canton has tons of new & some used stuff.
It’s claimed to be the biggest flea market in the world. If you’re not too far, you should definately check it out!! It’s AMAZING!

I don’t think we have anything like that ’round here, and that’s a bummer. Lots of expensive antique shops, no fun flea markets. I wish I had a source for giant letters!
Great finds! Looks like fun!
I’ve never seen anything like that around where I live (UK countryside!) but that looks a.maz.ing! Perfect day!
This looks amazing! Glad you had fun.
I just love everything in your photos! How fun! I would love to go on a treasure hunt!

Oh I wanted to go SO BADLY!! How were the prices?
i loveeee flea markets! This one looks amazing. It’s too bad texas is so far from canada!
[...] in Round Top are more expensive in antiquing season, but I never gave it much thought until I saw THIS post. “Flea markets in Round Top” is officially added to my Texas Excursions [...]
Wow, I grew up in Texas and can’t believe I’ve never been or heard of this! Might have to plan a visit just to shop! -LR
Oh how splendid!! I felt a little craze of envy while looking at the photos!! I hope you found lots of great treasures..
My best friend and I went to Round Top this weekend with her mom. It was so amazing! They go every year and this was my first time to join them…I spent all the cash I brought and then some! I got a vintage metal rolling rack (future bar cart), a tabletop card catalog, and a bunch of fun milk glass and other ceramics and glassware. I can’t wait to go back in April.
I went to Round Top last year for work! Being in the fashion industry, there wasn’t much available that applied to my work, but it was still very inspiring nonetheless. It was our first time out there so we weren’t sure what to expect, and I’m sure we won’t go again since there wasn’t much in the way of textiles (at least as it applies to fashion). One of these days I want to rent a huge truck, arm myself with lots of $$$, and attack either Round Top or Brimfield and come back with tons of amazing finds! I wanna go for a personal shopping trip, not just for work!
OMG! so many treasures!
That’s so crazy cause i was there! I saw that exact blue dress and admired those same fur coats. What a coincidence
I left with a 1940s style bed bench although i regret not buying alot of the knick knacks that I saw and that you photographed here.
OH! How fun to see this here! I live about 15 minutes down the road from Round Top in another little town. Isn’t it great? Did you go to Royer’s Pie Heaven? My granola is on the board: “Mandi’s Granola”. Pretty cool!
So glad you enjoyed your visit to our neck of the woods! : )
Absolutely LOVE your finds! We also wouldn’t miss Round Top for the world – check out some of our finds, including a gigantic European glass jar and a tall stack of vintage suitcases! – http://beworthy.wordpress.com/2011/10/04/return-from-round-top-with-101-diy-projects/
Cheers!
Oh I love the Green dress!
I want that turquoise dress with the gold sequins!
Oh wow that is wonderful I am from a little city in Australia and we do not get anything close to as cool as that unless we spend lots of money on a flight to go to the big cities like Melbourne and Sydney. You are very lucky!!

Love flea markets!
I just discovered your blog and I’m glad I found it! Will come back.
I was there last Thursday.. LOVED Zapp Hall, bought an awesome cowhide rug which I brought home on the plane in my suitcase! Loved the Bubble Lounge.. definitely coming back next year!! And I WILL be decked out for the Junkorama Prom!
That gown! I want it! So cute!
Wow! I have lived in Texas my whole life and I have never been there! You found some amazing vintage goodies!! I will have to go there when I get a chance. Thanks for sharing!
Just added this to my life list … looks amazing.
I LOVE the jeweled broaches and the old-school shoes. Who knew a Texas flea market could be home to such gems?! I’ll be sure to look for the flea market if I’m ever in the state.
Cheers,
Kristina
I’ve never been but it looks amazing. It kind of reminds me when I used to go to the Alameda Antique Fair in the Bay Area only with way more potential for finding that diamond in the rough!
