Spring has come in like a lion with color finally returning to the winter landscape. We cannot wait to return to Round Top in a few short weeks and see not only the roadsides filled with bluebonnets but also all of our loyal clients. Our usual booth at The Original Round Top Antiques Fair, BIG RED BARN, Booth 380, will be filled with amazing pottery and spectacular jewelry to provide you with a “refresh” for your cupboards and tablescapes as well as to give your jewelry trove the much needed “perk” for the warm months ahead. Show runs March 27 – April 1. Advance tickets are available to purchase at https://www.roundtoptexasantiques.com/.
Twenty years ago, Makala was quoted in Country Living magazine as saying the green-glazed yellowware bowls “exude happiness.” This theme certainly reverberates through our offerings for this show. As warm weather returns and lush green grass and colorful flowers appear, we are inspired to fill our lives with special pieces which do just that…bring happiness to our everyday lives whether it is by a statement foot bath filled with flowers anchoring our tablescape, texture rich and colorful Majolica grouped on a sideboard, crisp, clean salt glaze pitchers and syrups with a surprising modern feel, or a different chain, bangle, or link bracelet to layer with our “old” favorites. Please stop by to see our personally selected pieces to add a fresh bit of happiness and spark to your upcoming seasons.

- What Majolica collection would not be complete without a garden seat…yes..we have one of those too!
- Bennington is ever present in our booth and our home so why not share a rare slop jar/jardiniere for those needing something more in the earth tones or a marked snuff jar or oversize book flask
- Fabulous lifetime collection of early salt glaze syrups and pitchers ranging from those with modern-like motifs to ones completely filled with floral and wheat designs to even one with a bird…not only are they in crisp white but a few possess the soft green or muted blue coloration…these pieces are Makala’s newest obsession!...even a cheese dome with cows and an intricately patterned cake dome!

- Lastly a collection of green-glazed yellowware bowls and pitchers in a variety of patterns including the Girl With the Watering Can..perfect for spring and to remind us of that quote of Makala’s.
If your day is made brighter by wearing a specially created piece of jewelry, then do not worry. What better way to add that much needed sparkle than by wearing a unique piece of antique jewelry.
