HALLES WHAT'S ON TAP (Continued) Buzz: Year-Round Shopping + Party Palace Bask in the main pavilion's air-conditioned splendor, thanks to a new five-ton AC (and heating) system. Budget Blinds out of Giddings — your go-to for blinds in Central Texas, including most of the tony properties in Round Top and environs — is installing a top-of-the-line motorized shade system that can lower the shades to keep the cool air in. If you're looking for a Round Top retreat, show time or anytime, check into the handsome Halles Casitas 3D-printed by Houston-founded Hive3D Builders. Recommended: the 2/2 casita now outfitted by Double D Ranch in a vintage-Western vibe meets cool-contemporary home-design, including Texas-appropriate horned furniture. Major news: About half of The Halles vendors will be open Saturdays, starting this holiday season. If a vendor cannot be there, Halles staff will open doors, create virtual tours with the owners, coordinate cocktails, and take orders. Stay tuned: The Halles will collaborate with a few other in-demand vendors too, aligning with the Round Top's goal of becoming a year-round destination, thus supporting retail, restaurants, and lodging beyond the thrice yearly Antiques & Design Shows. Party time: Want to add a side of country to your next fête? Book The Halles for your 150-seated to 300-person venue for unforgettable receptions, rehearsal dinners, birthdays, and other bashes. The venue boasts a private JennAir kitchen, gym, and, launching this show, a pair of Cowboy Pools. Kick your boots off, grab a cool one, and stay awhile. Also on the bucolic horizon, The Halles has partnered with Oakbones — the late, beloved Cisco Pinedo's last creative vision for a large, elaborate, and elegant property. Oakbones' venue is expected to open this November. In a convivial collaboration typical of Round Top, The Halles and Oakbones will share clients and offer reciprocal perks: When renting at The Halles Casitas, guests will have access to day-passes at Oakbones pool and game-room lounge (contact Roger Perez, mac2237.rp@gmail.com). Designer Destination Round Top regular Verona Disdier's permanent shop at The Halles — a dramatic year-round showroom for her signature Pierre Verona — features Mother Nature's art. Stunning vessels, furniture, accessories, and original lapidary art are honed from minerals and gems retrieved from her personal quarries in Mexico; these finds become statement pieces around which entire rooms can be imagined. Designers also flock to Crystal Nichols as a go-to source for alluring antique and mid-century modern furniture and lighting. One of The Halles' most unique creatives is Around the Bend, presenting artisan Rick Pratt's American- made willow furniture. Then there's retro-cool Found Images, imprinted on all manner of home goods. New Halles home-design destination Nate & Lane offers handcrafted outdoor beds and swings. In The Austin Pavilion, find Cowboy Pools' round stock-tank swimming pools, so perfect for your Round Top ranch or barndominium; modern, minimalist, ergonomic furniture by Tupelo Goods; Broderie Studio's sustainable pillows and bedding upcycled from chic reclaimed fashion-industry textiles; and get your caftan fix on with Upcycled Atelier's pre-loved caftans and textiles. Regarding textile art, beeline to Anadol Rug Co., celebrating 40 years as a manufacturer and importer of handmade Angora Ushak/Oushak rugs. These masterpiece rugs are all about Turkish artisans, crafted from natural materials colored with organic dyes, and wool purchased from native herdsmen, hand-spun and woven by local villagers. For sustainable building, check in or check out The Halles Casitas, a partnership with Hive3D Builders. The future is now for one of the most exciting innovations in home-construction technology in our time.

Fashionable Fields Including Pop-Ups This fall, The Halles once again becomes an official HQ for It-girls. Notable are two returning bijoux ladies: Heather Benjamin nomadic jewelry and Covet Aspen modern jewelry. Then there's one of Texas' most celebrated new brands: Lizzy Chesnut Bentley's City Boots for the urbane cowgirl. Rounding out the fashion-forward scene are Round Top-tested Nashville Makers, starring custom millinery by A. Botts Willis and her merry band, including Rank & Sugar's vintage, handcrafted Army apparel, a brand on a mission; and Tonya Hawkes artistic handbags and home goods. Pata Lifestyle handbags, handmade in Argentina, give back to early breast cancer detection.
