We were up bright and early this morning and shopping our majolica hearts out at Houston Antiques Art + Design Show opening day. What we found was a beautiful collection of 66 antiques, art and vintage jewelry shops from around the country. Herewith, a few of our picks.
The stats: The show is today through Sunday at the George R. Brown Convention Center, Hall A. There’s construction in front of the George R. Brown, but it’s an easy detour to get to valet parking ($20). For more details, click here.
