We are back home in Santa Fe enjoying the fabulous Fall weather here in New Mexico.  I was looking through all the photos that we took of our time in Texas at the Blue Hills @ Round Top Antique Show, and found these photos of the great new signs that show promoter  Michael Peters has had made so that we can all find our way around the show.  There were several of these big PARK signs to show everyone where to park.  (Don’t forget that there is an enormous field at the back of the show for parking, big trucks, RVs and trailers have lots of space to turn around).

We also offer a shipping service for our pieces.  We have specially designed boxes for shipping antique maps, original artwork and antique prints.

Talking of signage, here is a picture of the sign that is in front of our booth, right outside Barn A.  See you next Spring (show dates are March 23rd thru April 6th 2013).

We are open at Blue Hills at Round Top Fall 2012 on Highway 237 just north of Round Top, TX.

This is a couple of days earlier this year, Micheal Peters, the show promoter just can’t get enough of us!

The show looks great – and there are some new ammenities for us all…

There is additional parking on Highway 237 just north of the Blue Hills field (follow the great big red “PARK” signs on the road.  This should help a lot with parking congestion.  There is still oodles of parking for cars, big trucks and trailers at the back of the show (follow the big red signs “PARK”).

Wonderful news – Roll’en Hills is now on-site for all your shipping needs.  They are located in the tent between Barn A and the Methodist Men’s BBQ.

The Methodist Men’s BBQ will be open this Wednesday and Thursday Sept 26th and 27th 2012 with a limited menu, the full menu will be available from Friday.

Remember the new tent running along the north side of the show?  Well, it’s doubled in size.  Lots more space for dealers to bring even more furniture and finds.

There are some new dealers and returning favorites too and everyone has booths that are packed to the max with fabulous treasures.

If you need any original art, antique prints or antique maps we are the people to come and see.  You can see a selection of our pieces on our website www.MAPSandART.com.  For the best selection, come to our booth in Barn A at Blue Hills at Round Top where we have thousands of pieces for you to enjoy.

Happy Hunting.

Here is a map of Blue Hills that we made to show you your way around Blue Hills at Round Top.  Our booth of original artwork and antique prints and maps is located in Barn A (in red on the map).  Notice that there is plenty of parking for oversize vehicles in the back field (yes you can park your RV/Penske Truck/Trailer).  WCs are also located at the back of the show.  Don’t forget to grab a bite to eat at the Methodist Men’s BBQ and to visit all the great dealers at Blue Hills at Round Top.
Please note that the layout of the show may change.  This map is of the Spring 2012 show.
If you just can’t wait for Round Top do visit our website mapsandart.com where we have over 2000 pieces of art and maps available for purchase.

Here are some pictures of before and after the antique show at Round Top, TX, well actually during the show and packing up the show.  When we arrive we are always so excited to start setting everything up that I never remember to take a picture of the empty booth!

We arrive at Blue Hills to an empty pole barn with gravel floors.  During the show we have walls, lights, flooring and thousands of original pieces of art, antique prints and old maps. Packing up after a show like Round Top Texas is not easy and usually takes us 2 days (it takes us even longer to set up!).   It all goes back into our cargo trailer at the end of the show.  We are always sad to come to the end of another Round Top, but tired as well.  It won’t be long before the next show – only 5 months to go!

Right now it’s time for a vacation ;))
