Smoot and I still pinch ourselves daily that we get to work in this creative business with so many talented people. It became very clear early on that we loved collaborating and working with others - may it be on an interior design project, an event or retreat, photo shoot or anything in between. We’ve developed long term relationships with so many of the folks we’ve been blessed to work with.

I try to take any opportunity to show my appreciation and love to the people near and dear to my heart. I absolutely would not be where I am today without the 20 years of support from Smoot, our precious kids, my sweet friends, as well as the incredible community of Round Top. So, when Valentine’s Day comes around, I get excited to gift little tokens of love to my favorite people.

With Mental Health Awareness Month coming to a close, Smoot and I want to share a little more about our personal experiences with this important issue. I’ll preface that we were inspired to share our stories from the brave work of Val Van Galder, one of Smoot’s longtime friends from Los Angeles. Val’s passion project, Depressed Cake Shop, aims to raise awareness about mental health by partnering with local bakeries to create “depression-themed” treats—cookies and cupcakes with greyscale frosting. The goodies are meant to start conversations, promote awareness about self-care and mental-health resources, and raise funds for local mental health organizations like the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI).

More than a mantra or a slogan on our tee shirts, Living With Intention, for us, is the only way. It’s taken us places we only dreamed of before. In fact, if it weren’t for that mindset of setting our intentions in motion, The Vintage Round Top simply wouldn’t be.

I was blessed to grow up in a home that celebrated Christmas with lots of traditions. Some of those I carried on with our own family — buying and decorating our tree on Thanksgiving weekend, Christmas Eve Candlelight church services and tamales for dinner, opening one present the night before Christmas (my favorite when I was a kid).

Today’s post is a little different than those we usually share in the interest of letting you 'behind the curtain' of running a business. Although we often share about fun collaborations, vintage shopping trips, and the homes we’ve lovingly curated, I can assure you that everything is not fabulous all the time and the tough life stuff does affect our business.

With summer quickly approaching and the kids’ school year winding down, my mind wanders to thoughts of family time and road trips. As new-ish Austin residents, we are so appreciative of the short drives to so many wonderful places nearby. Being able to hop in the car on a Saturday afternoon and end up in the Texas wine country or on a back road enjoying the scenery is one of my favorite parts about living here.

Spring is such a special time of year, with extra sunny days and the rich greenery all around. If you’re local to Texas, you’ve probably been enjoying the warmer temperatures for several weeks. If you’re still stuck in the snow, hopefully this post will at least help the inside of your home feel a bit more spring-like!

Nothing calms me more than a soak in a relaxing bath with my favorite aromas and products. So when we first began producing our RVT line of Handcrafted Goods, I knew that I wanted to offer a top quality bar soap.

Aside from the Antique Show, Round Top is such a wonderful place to visit all year round! One of our favorite times of the year to spend in Round Top is the 4th of July. It's the absolute perfect place to celebrate our country, our freedom, and those who died to preserve it.
