Texas Antique Shows

Texas Antique Shows are all they are cracked to be, from the amazing dealers picking all year to supply the latest and greatest finds, to the long hot days spent trying to sell them. There is one thing they all have in common... Heart! Those dealers are all about the story behind the items, the pick of the day or even the pick of their year. The Texas Dealer is all about the Merchandise and how to decorate the area to show off their favorite goodies and we as shoppers are all too eadger to get out there find the best deals. Is it human nature to shop and pick so heart heavily? I think it is just our competative nature, if you are not very competative... what do you really end up with at the end of the day? Leftovers! Which can be good sometimes, especially if you want the better bargain. What does not sell very fast is usually sold for a lot less at the end of the day. Some people will be back for it, most move on. we have experienced it many times when we are doing Estate Sales. The shoppers with the ability to come back and see if there are any goodies left, are usually the bargain shoppers of the bargain shoppers. They are hoping to get the absolute lowest price and usually get it. I have been doing Estate sales for over 9 years and have been in the Antique Business for about 17 years. In that time I have started an Antique Show in Huntsville Texas and this is the 9th year. We always hold the show on the third full weekend of September. This year is 2012 and the show has really become a huge success, with over 2200 shoppers and 65 dealers in the two days alloted. We are hoping for a crowd of over 2500 this year and will be very excited to see what really happens at the door. Texas has some wonderful Antique Shows with dealers from all over the country. We are hiding our best finds and hoarding goodies for the Huntsville Antique show and have been all year. We only do the one show right now, so the goodies have not been picked over and they will be plentiful for the shoppers. Thanks for helping make our show a huge success!

Texas Antique Shows













Huntsville Texas has one of the Greatest shopping experiences with over six antique shops around the square and one out HWY 190 towards Livingston TX.

Our annual Antique show is always held the third full weekend of September, right before Round Top and Warrenton Shows. The attendance last year was overwhelming, our Dealers were very happy and so were the shoppers. With the show coming up so soon, we are a few booths from being completely full this year. We really have an awesome group of Dealers, from as far away as Wisconsin, Arkansas, Arizona and all over Texas and Louisianna. We are expecting a killer crowd, with the addition of the new Billboard on the south side of town, the already existing Billboard on the North of Madisonville, all of our radio and Antique magazines, news papers.... we are definately over exposed.

The antique booths downtown have already picked way up in sales. We just redid the window at Sam Houston Antique Mall and have had a huge response in sales thus far. If you can, get to Huntsville, visit Big Sam Houston, Bring the whold family... spend time at the State Park, shop downtown, go see Sam Housotn's Grave, eat downtown and shop! There is so much to do locally, you really need to explore Huntsville again. Welcome, and God Bless.

Texas Antique Shows Huntsville is making it to the Top of the List...

We are very excited about the show this year, it is our 8th show and we have had a huge response already! Our booths are really filling up with some amazing Dealers, some from the past and some are new this year. Our show had over 1900 shoppers last year and the addition of the new Billboard, it will hopefully bring our total to aver 2500 shoppers. We have been experiencing a larger amount of sales in the antique stores lately and are very happy about that! There are five Antique stores downtown and a huge variety of items, you can literally find anything you are looking for. With the eating places around and the square and the clothing and shoe shop, jewelry and foo-foo shops, you can make a day of it. The Sam Houston Museum, Big Sam Statue and Visitor Center, Sam Houston's grave site and the Sam Houston State Park can fill the day and the kids will learn some History and love it! Come visit Huntsville, TX and see what you are missing.
