Emma Lee Turney’s Round Top Folk Art Fair & Creative Market: March 31 - April 3, 2010
The Round Top Folk Art Fair & Creative Market, featuring contemporary artisans in many areas of interest including woodcarvers, tinsmiths, custom and twig furniture makers, needle workers, creators of folk dolls, custom floor cloths, bird houses, paintings, country-style fashions, is a source for custom-made accessories, all to enhance the country lifestyle.
The majority of Folk Art Fair exhibitors work in original, colonial and traditional styles. Many have their work represented in Folk Art Museums and gallery collections throughout the nation and each is an established artist with his own collector following. This setting offers the opportunity to add decorative accessories both important and with a touch of whimsy.
The new air-conditioned show barn opened in Spring 2006 and is an attractive setting for exhibitors to show off their best work. There are acres of free parking, plus delicious food served by Scotty and Friends, Round Top!

Tru-Tex Antique Prints is now part of the social networking revolution! Well, we’re trying anyways. Now you can follow us on Facebook. We’ll be posting a schedule of events so you can come visit us in person.
Labels are not only beautiful and diverse, but they also contain the history of our nation and its people within their graphics. Collecting labels can be fun and addictive. Many people collect a particular subject, such as Native Americans, animals, or pinups. Others collect based upon geographic region, a particular product, or simply the beautiful art and graphics. Whatever the reason, label collecting possibilities are plentiful.
For more information about the history of labels and label collection, we recommend visiting the Antiques Roadshow Web site.
