Round Top Scores
So this week is the big antique show down in Warrenton / Round Top, Texas. If you've never been, do yourself the favor and check it out. I picked up some good stuff today that'll be available at Uncommon Objects soon. I'm a fan of old apothecary items and found about 40 little bottles today. It's crazy what people used to ingest in hopes of curing their ailments. I guess the same could be said for today's drugs, but now that they're called things like Aleve and Claritin instead of Zinc Nitrate and P. Serpent.

Is UO your digs? Looks pretty rad.
no, i wish. i just have a space in there. steve wiman (found object artist and uber collector) owns it. you should come check it out sometime. an unreal collection of oddities.
I follow your blog and I was trying to hook up with you in Texas. I think I sold some things to you...at least to UO. A joker sign, some fish placards, a danger sign. Was that you? I had over 1000 apothecary bottles in Texas. I import 50+ containers of oddities per year from Belgium, Sweden and Argentina. Go to lovetrainantiques.com I also have a new furniture line in which we use repurposed materials. We make everything in our factory in Poland. bobointriguingobjects.com I'll see you in Texas in six months.
i think that was probably our shop owner, steve wiman, but next time you're down this way lemme know and i'll check out your stuff.
