With Spring Antiques Week literally around the corner, I thought I'd share one of my favorite stops on the way to Warrenton, Round Top and all the other fabulous Antiques Markets located along Farm to Market 237. Smithville, TX is one of my favorite destinations. This sweet town nestled along the Colorado River, is west of La Grange and east of Bastrop off Highway 71.
You'd probably be shocked if I actually admitted how many times I hop in my SUV and it magically heads south to Highway 71 and ends up on Smithville's Main Street.
From its incredible historic district to a plethora of antique shops, it is has a distinct personality and Texas spirit.
Years ago, this small town was made famous in the movie, Hope Floats, which was filmed there.
Beneath hundred-year-old live oaks the romance of the place carries on and you can almost believe Birdee and Justin are still living there happily ever after. It's a quiet type of place where folks are friendly and still "sit a spell" on their front porches.

Here's some of the treasures I recently found there.
Hope you're finding lots of wonderful treasures and getting ready for a full spring JUNKIN' schedule.
Until next time,
Peace, love, and all
the good stuff, y'all!
