From Marburger With Love


At the Marburger Farm Antique Show, we are blessed to have amazing bloggers attend our show and write about it.  Many of these bloggers are also very talented photographers.  Such is the case with today’s featured blogger, April Pizana.

April attended the Fall antique show and took the most beautiful photographs, which she posted to her equally beautiful blog.  One of the greatest thing about Marburger is the fact that our vendors do an incredible job of displaying their merchandise.  With every booth you walk past, you pick up new ideas and inspiration.  Each booth has a unique and fun way of putting antique finds together (a real plus for those of us who need a little help achieving this eclectic look!)  It’s like having an interior designer put it all together for you – how can you go wrong with that?

Not only are April’s photos lovely, they really showcase these inspiring ideas from our amazing vendors.  And even more impressively, they really give you a sense of what you’ll find at Marburger.  It’s like walking through with a dear friend who has a great eye for stuff.  Be sure to check out her blog post and don’t forget to scroll through the huge number of gorgeous thumbnail photos at the bottom!

back in black…

If you are serious about Texas BBQ, you know about Black’s.  I first heard of Black’s BBQ when reading the famous Texas Monthly listing of the “50 Best Barbecue Joints in Texas.”  (That’s a VERY competitive list and Black’s is on it.)  Black’s is Texas’ oldest barbecue restaurant continuously owned by the same family and they’ve been working their magic since 1932.  (In Texas that means they are definitely doing something right, because we are serious about our barbecue down here!)

Their meat is delicious – and is only seasoned with salt and pepper.  The super moist brisket cooks for 24 hours before it melts in your mouth and their BBQ sauce is is made from scratch in-house.  To say their food is delicious is an understatement, for certain.

Not headed to Lockhart, Texas anytime soon?  No worries.  Marburger Farm is bringing Black’s to you!  Black’s will be one of our two new featured food vendors at the Spring show.  So, head on over and grab a plate of piping hot brisket with some of that sweet BBQ sauce and mark this meat off of your Texas Monthly “must try” list.  You’re gonna love it!

For more information about the history of Black’s Barbecue or to see articles written about them and videos featuring them, head on over to their website here.

it’s party thyme!

We all know that there is more than one reason to head to the Marburger Farm Antique Show.  Don’t get me wrong, the antiques are fabulous.  The steals you can get on art are unparalleled, the furniture is a well-edited and affordable collection of things that any Southern girl would love to have in her home and the accessories offered give your home that well-traveled, interior designer appeal.  But all of that shopping takes energy and that energy comes from one place…the food pavillion!

Marburger is thrilled to announce that Party Thyme will be returning this year.  They’re always a favorite of our show attendees.  Their tacos always hit the spot after a morning of shopping and decision making.  And don’t worry, we’ll still have beer, wine and our delicious margaritas in the Blacksmith Bar.  We all know tacos in Texas taste best with an ice cold margarita!

So, get your palate ready for too many tasty treats to count at the show this year.  You’ll want to come to the show every day of the week so that you can taste all of the yummies that we have in store for you!  Stay tuned for more info to help you plan your eating menu while at the show…
