Living the Dream at Round Top, Texas: A Feature in Country Home Magazine

A No-Makeup Day to a Dream-Come-True Moment

Most days, I’m just handling business—no makeup, just getting things done.

But then, SHAZAM!

Some days feel like a dream come true!

This week is one of those: I’m being featured shopping at the Round Top Texas Antique Show for an article in Country Home magazine! Find my Free Ultimate Guide to Roundtop here.

Shopping & Shooting

Imagine strolling through one of the most famous antique fairs in the world, handpicking treasures, and brainstorming finds with an editor and a photographer in tow. That’s exactly what my week looked! Shopping my heart out, camera clicking away, and getting to do what I love—it doesn’t get better than this.

A Humbling & Hilarious Reality Check

Of course, just when I might start feeling a little fancy, reality steps in to keep me grounded. While we were in the middle of the shoot, one of the vendors noticed the cameras and asked why they were there. When our photographer explained the article and why they were following me, she looked him straight in the eye and said:

“AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHO SHE IS?”

I was just a few feet away, browsing, and I almost burst out laughing.

No, girl, you’re not supposed to know who I am!

Most days, I’m here in a tank top, jeans, and sneakers, haggling for the best price on a vintage silver trophy.

Today, I just happen to have curled hair, a spray tan, and someone taking pictures of my lunch.
