SIMPLE COUNTRY PLEASURES

One of our favorite guilty pleasures in Round Top is the pie from Royers Round Top Cafe and Royers Pie Haven. Our current favorites are Texas Trash and Junkberry. However, that could change at a moments notice when tempted by homemade Peach or Apple. Either way, we feel blessed to have the choice. If you haven't experienced their slices of heaven, treat yourself -- you'll be glad you did!

Inside the Tribe No. 01

I can't begin to express how grateful we are to get to do what we love, but more importantly to do it with a TRIBE of people that we really connect with, that inspires our creativity, and that makes us happy. "Inside The Tribe" is a glimpse into the lives of the sponsors, artisans and entrepreneurs that are a part of and available to meet at TRIBE in Round Top, Texas on March 29, 2016.  See detailed info here. 

This post is focusing on the amazing partners we've brought together to produce this event! We want to thank them all for taking this journey with us and for everything they've contributed to make TRIBE happen!! We've added links to their sites, so you can learn more about them.

WORDS TO LIVE BY

"No regrets, just lessons learned."  Life is too short to have regrets. Lessons can be difficult and painful, but are necessary for growth. This quote really helped me with a few lessons I've learned recently.
