When you get a call from one of your favorite European vendors that they are moving permanently back to France and are offered first dibs at their warehouse you (very quickly) jump on a plane and go........and then have five very long days of laughing, packing, talking, laughing, packing and even more talking with the end result a very full container and a sad good bye to one of the most entertaining and knowledgeable ladies I know in the business. Such an unexpected honor!

We are expecting to have delivery and everything unpacked, cleaned and ready to go for our Virtual French Market in May...which, combined with our Round Top buying trip, should be an incredible show! Please sign up via our website, chasingvintage.com or DM us your email to be given early access to the Market.

We have a few more videos coming of this jammed packed warehouse...enjoy!

Across from Excess I there are the rows of stores in Excess II... front row on the highway is the exquisite store of Paul and Suzanne Whitmire (@paulandsuzannewhitmire ). Suzanne travels twice a year to France, hand selecting each and every truly one of a kind piece she offers to her customers. But beware, you will want to pull up a stool and talk all day long with Suzanne, easily one of the most beautiful, inside and out, ladies in Round Top. From religious artifacts to French hutches to kitchen enamel pitchers... every price point, every French era, she has it! Please DM them if you have any questions about her remarkable inventory. And if you visit.. don’t forget to look at the necklaces at the front counter. Beautiful fresh water pearls combined with silver pendants cast from religious medals. I had to buy three! Love them! ⚜️⚜️⚜️ #roundtop #vendorspotlight #roundtoptexas #roundtopantiqueshow

And then there are the outdoor fields.. an entirely different experience than the indoor styled booths... but, oh so exciting as the hunt is long, arduous and different every time. This is at Excess 1....... the perfect place to find true one of a kind personality pieces (for instance, a full size horse next to an abandoned airplane), antique hardware and exquisite statuary. We found a vintage St. Teresa we couldn’t walk away from...she is bubble wrapped and tucked away in our exceptionally full truck! Enjoy and visit soon... you will love it! #treasurehunting #roundtop #roundtoptexas #antiques #vintage #treasures #homedecor

Such a spectacular booth @the_french_cornerdecor in The Compound in Round Top.....tucked in the very back of the beautiful and newly enlarged Compound is Yves’ charming and beautiful true French booth. We bought way too much from one of our favorite vendors... a true Frenchman who brings containers over biannually! For those in Southern California he also can be found at the Long Beach Flea Market.. when he has a container. A must see! ✨⚜️✨ #roundtop #roundtoptexas #roundtopantiqueshow #thecompound

One last look at Christmas, 2020. We went simple this year, with a Santa created by my mother, nutcrackers for every year we’ve been married (39!) and a tree filled with ornaments the children created. All watched over by the Christmas village I painted while pregnant with Will. This year we went without Christmas parties, long hugs with good friends, and my mother’s infectious Christmas spirit. But we did have gratitude for our health, laughter amidst stories told of past Christmas’s and a true belief that 2021 will bring peace and change. Soon we will be back to hugging and greeting, gathering and sharing. Happy New Year dear friends.... I’m so looking forward to seeing you in person, visiting, and, of course, hugging.

On one of our buying trips we spotted a large brass bowl amidst tables upon tables of forgotten treasures. We fell in love with it from afar and loved it even more as we got closer. We purchased it and arranged to come around again to pick it up (it was heavy!). When we picked it up and started to load it in our truck the vendor came out to tell us we forgot the stand.. which was on the other side of the field.
He explained it was a baptismal font, which it clearly was once the two pieces were reunited. There is a strong Catholic presence in the South of France and we imagine it was once in a small, village chapel.
Months later when we could finally bear to give it up we listed it and shared it. Almost immediately we received an email from a minister on the island of Hawaii who was interested in purchasing it for their Christmas Day baptisms... as long as we could get it there in time. Remarkably it did arrive on time. To say we feel honored to be part of this blessed celebration is an understatement. It feels as though it’s the perfect way to end this difficult, unknown year. The sweet presence of the baby, the smiling faces of the parents and the congregation standing as witnesses are just what we needed to remind us that life continues daily with the simplest act of pure goodness.
Bless you all, we hope you had a Happy, if not different, Christmas, and send prayers for a sound and happy New Year. ✨✨✨
