Early on, Smoot and I decided that we wanted to provide our kids with travel and experiences over material goods. We really value traveling to new places and experiencing new things and we wanted to instill that in our kids as well.

A couple of weeks ago, we had the privilege of hosting a photo shoot for a wonderful organization called the IF:Gathering. If you haven't heard of them before, IF:Gathering's vision is to "gather, equip and unleash women to live out their calling by creating tools and resources for the local church and the women they serve."

One of the main things we look for in a Modern Vintage Style piece is the story behind it. We love to gather pieces with a heritage that can be repurposed into something new, while still maintaining the historical integrity. These sage-scented Antique Snuff Candles are the perfect example.

If these showers mean anything, it's that spring is upon us! Spring usually invokes lots of colorful imagery and vibrant flowers, but this year, we're focusing on the absence of color in our spring style. Simply focusing on green and white can be just as striking and vibrant as a bouquet of colorful flowers.

It's hard to put into words how grateful we are to have hosted Emily Henderson and her team during the spring antique show. Life works in mysterious ways, as that would not have happened had we not received a cancellation the day before we got a call from Emily's team. I’d been frustrated about the cancellation, but obviously everything happens for a reason and I'm beyond thankful for it now.

When opportunity knocks, you roll up your sleeves and get to work. We had a major push to complete the final touches on the Boho build out in time for Emily's stay. We worked late nights and early mornings, living on caffeine to get the job done. We appreciate our staff, our contractors that worked round the clock, our children who pitched in and helped weekend after weekend, and our family and friends who cared for our kids while we were away. It truly does take a village!
Here’s a short recap of their stay: We had the pleasure of guiding them through the Round Top Antique Show while they stayed in our No. 1450 and Boho cottages. We were able to show them the magic of our town, give them tips on where to shop and dine, and introduce them to the show/shop owners + vendors. It was such a fun time to get to explore Round Top with them and to see it from the perspective of first-timers!

As a result of hard work and this amazing opportunity, we gained a new audience from Emily but we also gained new friends. Emily and her team were the sweetest people you could ever meet. We spent a lot of time with them and really got to know them well. Hosting Emily not only helped our business, but it also was great for our souls!

Watching Emily and her team was remarkable. They are like a well oiled machine. We're humbled by their reaction to our space and brand and are thankful for everything they've done to get the word out about us and Round Top!
We had a chance to video tape Emily during her stay. Nikki, our assistant, who owns Tripp Films, did a fantastic job of editing the opening video for us. If you haven't clicked already, head back to the top to see the short film for yourself.
