Yesterday\u2019s treasures ground us in what\u2019s lasting and true.<\/p>\n<p>Then I heard about a fabulous antiques venue: the tiny Texas town of Round Top. Antiques dealer and show promoter Emma Lee Turney invited the best dealers to show off their American Country antiques for one week in October 1968. Some 6,000 vintage devotees flocked there.<\/p>\n<p>In 1995, I went to see what all the fuss was about. The B&amp;Bs were booked, but I found a little cottage on a ranch. The rancher\u2019s wife insisted I check out Royers Round Top Caf\u00e9. Bud \u201cThe Pieman\u201d Royer led me to a crowded table. \u201cHold on to your forks after dinner,\u201d one lady said. \u201cThe best is yet to come\u2014the pie!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bud\u2019s son Jona\u00adthan and daughter-in-law, Jamie-Len, run the caf\u00e9 now. His daughter, Tara, opened Royers Pie Haven in a tin-roof house adorned with quirky art and pie tins. \u201cFolks show up in Round Top with a wrestling in their soul,\u201d Tara says. \u201cThey lean in and listen to the<a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/daily-devotions\/devotions-for-faith-prayer\/god-whispers-to-our-hearts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> whispers of God<\/a>\u2019s gifts on their lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Highway 237, a two-lane country road, was packed with vendor tents. I hadn\u2019t gone four yards when I spotted a brown-and-yellow terrier teapot. Majolica! I\u2019d only seen the European china in magazines.<\/p>\n<p>Two tents down, a <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/friends-and-family\/family\/what-antiques-roadshow-host-mark-l-walberg-has-learned-about-value\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">seen-better-days farm table<\/a> called to me. I felt a kinship with its battered top and carved initials. \u201cChips and dents are where the story is,\u201d the vendor said.<\/p>\n<p>I rubbed shoulders with shoppers who snagged folk art, salt-glazed stoneware, turquoise and silver rings. I loved it all so much, I returned five years ago.<\/p>\n<p>Emma Lee Turney died this year, but she lived to see her idea become a global attraction, with thousands of antiques vendors. And to witness Round Top elect a 40-year-old mayor, Mark Massey, whose campaign slogan was <em>Keep Round Top, Round Top<\/em>. \u201cPeople come here to <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/friends-and-family\/parenting\/teenagers\/how-faith-can-reboot-a-bad-day\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reboot<\/a> and leave with a second chance,\u201d he says.

Their eclectic array of old advertising memorabilia, cowboy boots and vintage jewelry took my breath away.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis here\u2019s a sanctuary of the world\u2019s finest junk,\u201d Amie told me with a Texas-size grin.
