Round Top

Today was a beautiful day for a road trip.

I went to visit Copper Shade Tree Gallery in Round Top.

 

 

I had a nice chat with owners Debbie and Gerald, admired the beautiful and varied work in the gallery, and delivered “Vespers”.

 

I stopped in at The Apothecary and picked up a couple of patriotic decorations for the house. I need to get on that asap – the Fourth of July is just around the corner!



Mini Road Trip

Last weekend was absolutely beautiful here in our little corner of the world!  I drove up to Round Top to see the fiber art show at Copper Shade Tree Gallery.

The show was wonderful and I'm so glad I got to see it.  I wandered around the shops for a while....

I found a great little flower pot here:

Then I headed over to LaGrange to visit the new Quilt Museum.

You can see what a beautiful day it was by the amazing blue of the sky!

This is the side of the building, where they have planted a garden.  Should be lovely next fall.

Just across the way is the courthouse, built in the last 1800's.  I love these old buildings.

So that was my mini road trip - a great way to spend a Saturday!

Copper Shade Tree Gallery

I recently delivered art to Copper Shade Tree Gallery in Round Top, TX.  It was a beautiful day and a nice drive from Houston.  The gallery just moved into a new location across the street from where they were before.  It's a wonderful light-filled space. 

a few of my dolls....

Round Top is also home to the Round Top Festival Institute, famous for it's summer music festival and year round concerts.  It has a gorgeous concert hall and beautiful gardens.

Round Top is booming!  There is a new group of shops moving in.  They were creating paths and beginning the landscaping when I was there.  It's going to be really nice! 

Debbie and Gerald Tobola are the owners of Copper Shade Tree Gallery, and the nicest people you'll ever meet.

Gerald is an artist himself.  He creates gorgeous pieces in copper. You can see a little bit of one of his pieces on the wall behind them.

The next show at Copper Shade Tree Gallery will be "Quilts by Men", October 26 - November 20, featuring Quilts by 16 men from across the country.  It should be a really fabulous show!
