EVERYTHING YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT
THE ROUND TOP SHOWS BUT WERE AFRAID TO ASK!
Antique Show Central - You heard about Round Top on TV, or maybe in a newspaper or
magazine. Considering Round Top’s glut of high profile
public relations, it’s likely
that’s how you heard about this little town of 81.
(Okay, I admit we shrunk to Pop. 77 in the 2000 census.)
After all, Emma
Lee Turney’s show and the other antiques and crafts
venues regularly end up in Country Living and other
magazines and on national television.
Yes, Round Top is world famous. In fact we claim to be
the most famous arts town per capita in the nation. The Festival-Institute
at Round Top; the Winedale
Historical Center and its Shakespeare
program; Henkel
Square, the Round
Top Family Library, Sterling
McCall's Cadillac Museum and even
this little newspaper have
been the subjects of a lot of
media attention.
You called several weeks ahead and tried to get a room.
Everyone was much too nice to laugh, but even so, you
found that all the inns were full. That was a minor setback.
Then, the fateful day arrived when you
drove up to Round Top.
As you turned onto Hwy 237 from Hwy
71, you noticed the traffic was getting a little
stiff but you didn’t let that bother you either. You’re a professional shopper...a lean, mean
buying machine and you carry cash. Nothing can stop you...
even the ungodly traffic in Warrenton.
Suddenly, the horizon is filled with tents and tables
covered with every implement of household decoration known
to man. People are rushing around like human piranhas in a
feeding frenzy.

You’re lost...bewildered... distraught. What can you
do? What can you do?
It’s simple. Just open the world famous Round Top
Register.
Oh...yeah, you already did that.

TRUEHOME
Something very exciting is happening in my life. It's
called Truehome.
Hopefully Truehome will be a rags to riches story, but whatever happens in the end, it is the tale of a
small and crazy team of geeks and dreamers who have taken enormous risks against all odds.

Truehome Featured In New Book by Psychologist The Truehome
Workshop is featured in a new book by
famous University of Texas psychologist Sam Gosling,
Ph.D. Snoop
- What Your Stuff Says About You is
an exciting new book that teaches you how to be a "Snoopologist." You
can learn how clues in homes, offices and other places can
help you predict the behavior of others...and offer you a
window into your own hidden motivations. Gosling
interviewed many or our editor's Round Top architecture
clients. The last chapter of Snoop
is all about the Truehome
Workshop and how it helps people create homes that fit
their lifestyle, their tastes, their values and their
budget. |
