Round Top Ruckus

Okay.....

most of ya'll know that I spent last weekend in Warrenton

and Round Top

doing my fair share of junking and shopping

for some amazing antiques.

But....

no one knew that I was there on an exposé.

I've heard all about what goes on behind the scenes

at Round Top and I was going to get to the bottom of it.

I started my undercover mission like any non-assuming shopper.

Cart....check.

Cute clothes.....check.

 Fist full of money burnin' a hole in my pocket.....check.

I came across this woman first.

Oh.....she was wheelin' and dealin'

and she even tried to entice me with her candles and wine

but I didn't fall for it one bit.

I knew that I had to dig deeper.

I continued shopping and searching when I spotted these two...

Don't let the sweet faces and charming grins fool you.

These ladies in Bar W field are masters at their game.

There was a conspiracy brewing.....I just know it.

They tried to throw me off of their scent by

bringing over their helper.

I wasn't taking the bait.

These ladies tried so hard to get me to stay awhile and make me

forget all about my investigation but I was hot on the trail.

I made my way over by the Gin and

was immediately sidetracked by

this woman with hugs and salutations.

(I think she was tipped off by the Bar W ladies.)

I stopped and chatted but all the while I was taking notes

and gathering evidence.

I was getting all ready to blow this Round Top ruckus wide open.

I figured I must have been onto something

'cuz the muscle of the organization

came looking for me.

I was able to sweet talk my way out of that one

and continued my pursuits.

A hot tip

(and a cool beer)

led me to Zapp Hall

where I met some of the major players

in the dealings that go on in Warrenton and Round Top

like this woman.

She seemed nice enough but she wasn't given up any

insider information.

This one just looked shady....

I think she was stealing something.

After several hours of hunting for a great story,

the only that I did leave with were some great finds

for my home and some awesome time with some amazing friends.

(I'm still not letting these two off of the hook just yet....)

I have left the names of the above absent

to protect their innocence...RIGHT!!!!

See if you can list everyone pictured here.

P.S........

This guy professed that he would give me the

whole scoop........

so I brought him home.
