ROUND TOP {Spring 09} Countdown: Richard Schmidt Jewelry
FOUR WEEKS till Round Top Spring 09!!
I can hardly believe that time is flying so fast and we’ll be in Round Top in just a few short weeks. The vendors are getting all of their wonderful treasures ready for you to devour, here at Cactus Creek we have something BIG planned for your spring trip to Round Top… watch for an announcement in the next day or so!!
This week our COUNTDOWN QUESTIONS are directed to Richard Schmidt, a phenomenal jewelry designer in La Grange, Texas, and his gorgeous wife, Janet. {They headlined our Jewelry GUIDE yesterday, see it HERE.} Be sure to stop and visit them right on the Round Top Square when you head to Antique Week this spring… their jewelry is hand made and very special. They also have a store in La Grange {just 20 minutes SW of Round Top} that should not be missed!! Printable Map is HERE!!
Who are your Favorite Vendors {besides you of course}?
Some of our favorite vendors are Sundie and Brad Ruppert from Vintage Sculpture at Marburger, they have the most incredible and original pieces around. We also love Catherine Miles from Found Images and her unique take on the vintage western look. Rick and Denise Pratt have wonderful willow furniture that anyone would love, they are also at Marburger. I could go on and on, but these are the ones that come to mind first. {NOTE: all 3 of these creative enterprises are located in the Artisans Tent at Marburger}
What is the best kept secret about Round Top?
The best kept secret is only twenty minutes from Round Top. Bistro 108 in La Grange has fabulous food and great atmosphere. It’s definitely worth the drive. Yum! Yum! {Janet and Richard pointed us to this restaurant last Fall and it was indeed FABULOUS!!}
What treasure are you shopping for this spring in Round Top?
The treasures that we are looking for this time (as always) are retablos…retablos…and more retablos for Richard, he really doesn’t know when to stop :) We will also be hunting for small tchotchkes to use for a new line of jewelry we hope to introduce soon.
I am so looking forward to seeing Richard’s new creations this Spring!! Till then… thanks, Janet!!
