THE XX (Continued) T he Fall 2024 Round Top Antiques & Design Show — October 12 through 26 at The Halles — sees the eighth iteration of the PaperCity and Round Top Publishers event space and design, art, fashion, and foodie Mecca in autumn glory, with its nine Halles, hospitality pavilion, and enclosed spaces filled with unique purveyors and exciting happenings. Kudos to returning presenting sponsor JennAir — The Halles Food Lab by JennAir, joined by new presenting sponsor Budget Blinds of Giddings and new partnering sponsors Cowboy Pools, Starred Sky for its development Tree Tops at Round Top, and Tupelo Goods. (Cowboy Pools and Tupelo Goods are two of the standard- bearers of the latest Halles addition, The Austin Pavilion — more below). Plenty of wonderful foodie options abound to add sustenance and cheer and invite lingering between rounds of shopping. Round Top Coffee Shop returns with its popular Halles outpost, offering breakfast, bites, and a kick of java to jumpstart your day. Country Sunshine continues its down-home fare, plus a full array of drinks from the bar. Owners Danny and Cullen Holle's famous Neapolitan- style pizza crafted in a wood-fired Forno Bravo oven is another foodie fave. Have no guilt about pizza or burger consumption: The Halles is the only venue in town with its own fitness guru/ personal trainer — work out or book a session in The Halles Gym with founder/director Zuzana Kastleman. Double D Ranch's Western Outpost Comes to The Halles Just in: Iconic Texas-founded Western fashion and home-design brand Double D Ranch opens a permanent brick-and-mortar at Halle 3, setting up shop beginning with the Fall Antiques & Design Show.

Shop DDR's dramatic Western looks for women, informed by fringe, intricate buttons, and lush materials, as well as DDR Heritage Collection items and vintage, antique finds. (Aerosmith's Steven Tyler is a fan of the label, which includes embellished biker jackets for your own rock-star style.) Don't miss this store's biggest draw: the Big Ol' Boot Room, boasting the company's most extensive in-person boot collection yet.
