GEORGE & FRED IS HEADED TO ROUNDTOP, TEXAS!
October 26-29
Some shopping adventures are worth a little road trip...so George & Fred is heading to Round Top, Texas - a tiny town with a very big reputation. Since 1968, Round Top has drawn dealers, designers and collectors from around the world, filling barns & tents with antiques, art, jewelry and wonderfully unexpected finds. I'm off to wander, rummage, and discover, searching for one-of-a-kind jewelry, artful objects, soulful home accents for George & Fred so follow along on the George & Fred Insta stories and live the Round Top trip vicariously. A little Texas lore, a lot of good hunting, and plenty of unique finds coming soon to the shop.
