			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Spring is a great time for antique hunting near our <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.blisswood.net">Central Texas bed and breakfast</a>. Cat Spring wrapped up a show on March 14 (meaning that there are great deals to be had here now). Round Top has several <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.roundtoptexasantiques.com/">antique events</a> from March 26 through April 3, 2010.</p>
<p>If you are patient and enjoy the quest, you can find treasures in the antique shops of Central Texas. Browse <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.mustangalleyantiques.com/">Mustang Alley</a> in Cat Spring; try to find something ordinary in Bellville&#8217;s <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.nothingordinaryantiques.com/listmajolica.htm">Nothing Ordinary Antiques</a>, and find out what is being auctioned at <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.hradilauctions.com/">Hradil Auction Co.</a> in Sealy.</p>
<p>Antique hunting can be a great addition to any getaway at our <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.blisswood.net">Houston area guest ranch</a>.  Newlyweds can look for unique furnishings for their new home, while couples celebrating their anniversary may find each other the perfect gifts. Friends will have fun exploring the shops at the end of country lanes. No matter who you are with or what you are looking for, you are sure to have fun.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Christmas is around the corner, but there is still time to shop. Of course, now is the best time to avoid crowded malls, which tend to make us feel more scrooge-ish than anything else. Better to seek out interesting shops that are off the beaten path. There you will have room to breathe and let inspiration strike.</p>
<p>Just such a place exists close to our <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.blisswood.net">Houston area guest ranch</a>.</p>
<div id="attachment_273" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-273" src="http://www.blisswood.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/antiques-near-guest-ranch-300x264.png" alt="Mustang Alley Antiques is close to our guest ranch" width="300" height="264" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Mustang Alley Antiques is close to our guest ranch</p></div>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.mustangalleyantiques.com/index.html">Mustang Alley Antiques</a> is located in an old general store between Sealy and Bellville. If you happen to be looking for cowhide this is THE place to go, but it also has other interesting items. Check out the fine collection of antique oak and walnut furniture, or look for something downright silly. This is a shopping experience that will put you in a good mood.</p>
<p>Instead of returning to whence you came right after shopping, why not spend a night or two at our <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.blisswood.net/activities_onsite.html">Houston area guest ranch</a>? Take time to treat yourself to an afternoon of horseback riding. Bring your knitting and finish that project while relaxing on the porch of your cabin. Forget about cooking for a change and enjoy a delicious meal at our <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.blisswood.net/restaurant.html">Cat Spring restaurant</a> &#8211; grilled bison and sweet potato fries anyone?</p>
<p>After all, you deserve a holiday, too.<!-- PHP 5.x --></p>
