The Magic of Magnolia Market

Like many of you, I too have become a big fan of the HGTV design show Fixer Upper and Chip and Joanna Gaines.  There is just something magical in the way they can transform a worn down house into a charming, personality filled home and make it look as easy as a summer afternoon in the south.

Since the odds of being on Fixer Upper or hanging out with Chip and Joanna are pretty slim, the next best thing for getting a little Magnolia magic is to visit their retail store in Waco, TX.  I was thrilled when I got the chance to do just that at the beginning of the month.

Magnolia Market and the silos is a magical place.  You can feel it the minute you enter the downtown area of Waco and begin to see the traffic building as the silos loom in the near distance.

A Sneak Peek at Round Top, Austin and Waco

Round Top Sign

Hello friends.  I am absolutely swamped catching up from my trip to Texas and I’m dealing with a bit of a cold but I did want to pop in and share a few sneak peeks of the trip with you.  There was so much to see and do so I’ll have part one of my trip for you on Wednesday.

Until then, be tantalized by these photos…

Round Top Antiques Market was awesome but prices like these were few and far between…

There was tons of silver…some good and some bad and some dealers were just not dealing…

Along with some amazing antiques, there was lots of vintage (real and reproductions) throughout the show…

I spotted something on my shopping list but the prices were definitely not what I wanted to pay…

Gorgeous blue and white chinoiserie everywhere and lots of unique pieces I’ve never seen before…

My one regret!  I wish I would have pulled the trigger on these grapes…

We dined at Royer’s Cafe in downtown Round Top and had the most amazing pies….

We visited the Capitol building in Austin and I was mesmerized by all the stunning trims, molding and woodwork…

We made our way to Waco to visit the world-famous silos and Magnolia Market.

The only words to describe it are…so Chip & Joanna, crowded beyond belief, cute as a button and BIG!

They’ve cornered the market on cute magnolia designs like the hand-drawn magnolia flower.

I can’t wait to share the rest of the adventure with you.
