Recently, Jackie Sharbrough purchased The Urban Market and this Sunday will be her first market day as the new owner! Good luck Jackie, it’s going to be great, as usual. The only thing that has changed under Jackie’s direction is the location. Jackie has worked hard to get all the same dealers and even some new ones for the market. There are always lots of bargains to be had, so be sure to get there early. Jackie also wants to remind everyone that Saturday night is when we change our clocks back from Daylight Savings Time, so don’t forget to set your clocks back one hour before you go to bed!!! Jackie also wants everyone to know that the Knights of Columbus will be serving BBQ Sunday. Tickets are $5 at the gate and $3 after 1:oo pm. Children are free. My favorite delivery company, Crowded House, will be on site!
The list of antique dealers confirmed to be at the Urban Market this Sunday is long and Cote de Texas readers will recognize a few names that will be selling their wares: Sally Wheat, The Fabulous Flea, Vieux Interiors, Carolyn Westbrook Home, and Found For The Home are just some of the dealers that should sound familiar. For the entire list of dealers and more information, go to www.theurbanmarkethouston.com.
The weather is supposed to be wonderful this weekend – s0 if you love antiques you should definitely stop by and check it out! And be sure to
“HI” to Jackie, Sally Wheat, The Fab Flea and Vieux Interiors for me!!!

ReplyDeleteThe vendors sound wonderful. N.C. sure is a long way from Texas! Do you hear me kicking and screaming?
ReplyDeleteIf only!
ReplyDeleteThanks for getting the word out, Joni!
ReplyDeleteSally
Oh how I long to go! I NEED some of that stuff!
ReplyDeleteWow! I never knew about this and wouldn't you know, I have an engagement and cannot possibly be there before closing. But my experience with these things is get there EARLY or not at all. :) The good stuff always is bought within the first 30-45 minutes...
ReplyDeletePerhaps next year...sigh...
Oh how fun. I wish I lived in Texas! I want to fly out and hitch a ride with you Joni. I'm sure you would it make it a blast. I hope you find lots of great goodies. We need something like this in NY!
ReplyDeleteSounds fabulous!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!! I can't wait to hear all about it. I wish I lived nearby. I would have love to have gone.
ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween too!!
That looks like a fabulous market. It's once a year? Hmmm... Perhaps next year. I'll have to put it on my list along with the April Round Top and Marburger. So much to do and so little money. :-)
ReplyDeleteYay, I love going...thanks for the reminder!
ReplyDeleteJust had to say that I laughed out loud at the comment about you being a OLDER woman and that your blog would not be liked by normal blog readers... I love your blog and because of yours and a few others I have been thinking about jumping aboard the blogging train. Something I did not think I would ever do. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteBoy, I'd love to hit that Urban Market! My father had those same silver wolf head jiggers behind his bar! That's so funny.
ReplyDeleteJoni, I love your blog, I've been sneaking over here for a while and you are amazing. I loved your interview with Artie, I learned a lot and more about you. Thanks for doing that.

ReplyDeleteBy way of 'Artie' I am a newcomer to your Blog. Your home is delectable and I enjoyed your informative interview.
ReplyDeleteWhat treasures are posted here. Unfortunately not only do I live in the wrong State, I also live in the wrong Country....smiles. The Urban Market sounds like a wonderful place. Wishing you success in your hunt. -Brenda-
Joni, this market has to be the most dangerous place for the pocket book. Good thing I live in the NW but I am sure that my mother whose decorating flair was unerringly stunning will be there in spirit ;-)
ReplyDeleteJoni, I wish I could be there! We are having beautiful weather here in KC today once the fog lifts. I have just finished my latest painting, "Grandeur", 48 x 36, I hope you like it!
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm so jealous!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could be there.
I will make a plan to attend next year.
Thank you for sharing.

Oh this looks like my kind of good time. If you go I shall look forward to the photos of your finds.
ReplyDeleteHi Cote de Texas,
ReplyDeleteJust a quick note to let you know that I posted your tip on this Urban Market on my blogsite!
More importantly I wanted to tell you that I wrote in this blog, "If I were to give a divalicious award for what The Antiques Diva™ considers to be the Best Blog in The Universe - Cote de Texas would be the bright and shining winner!"
Your blog is total eye candy! Adore it!
The Antiques Diva
I just join the antiques diva to congratulate you for your excellent blog.
ReplyDeleteOh! the love of Antiques, wish had not promised to not buy any more this year.
ReplyDeletedido
What fun! Sad to miss it :(... do they have this often or is this once a year type of thing?
ReplyDeleteI'm going to be in Houston the following weekend for a wedding & will have time for one shopping stop...only one b/c I take a loooong time. Any suggestions? I'll be staying at the St.Regis.
ReplyDeleteThanks!! I can't wait to visit from Chicago!!
Thanks so much for this tip! My mother and I went this Sunday and the weather was fantastic! We both made a couple of great finds!
ReplyDeleteOh so MAD! I did not see this post until too late. I would have gone!!!! Is it once a year? or more often?

Melissa: I would say go to Indulge - and then right behind it - go to Thompson Hanson nursery - inside and eat lunch there. and if you have a minute or two = go down the street to 2620 Joanel.
ReplyDeleteLooking good these days, Joni!
