If there's one thing we love almost as much as grilling and football here in Texas, it's antiquing. There's just something about finding that diamond in the rough after hours of searching that's more satisfying than anything. Here are six antique stores close enough to one another that you can visit them all in one weekend! Try not to spend too much...(Just kidding - of course you will.)

1. Gruene Antique Company (New Braunfels)

From fine kitchenware to glass to crystal and everything in between, the items at Gruene Antique Company have accumulated over several generations and hold a lot of history and individuality.Address: 1607 Hunter Rd, New Braunfels, TX 78130

2. Crossroads Antique Mall (Burnet)

This is an antique mall rather than just a store, so the selection is much larger than normal. You'll find everything from furniture and kitchenware to dolls and other novelties.Address: 209 W Polk St, Burnet, TX 78611

3. Star Antique (Wimberley)

Wimberley is an incredibly ecclectic town, and Star Antique is no exception to that fact. The shop even extends outdoors, with unique decorations scattered on the lawn and lights strung up in the trees.Address: 301 River Rd, Wimberley, TX 78676

4. Uncommon Objects (Austin)

Uncommon Objects is easily the strangest, most unique antique shop in Texas. From taxidermy and old ouija boards to vintage furniture, you could spend hours browsing the aisles without even realizing it.Address: 1512 S Congress Ave, Austin, TX 78704

5. Downright Texas Antiques (Comfort)

Downright Antiques is a vintage furniture store, and I guarantee you've never seen anything quite like this. The pieces are all handmade and have been repurposed so you can take them home immediately, but their individual stories and pasts still remain.Address: 205 TX-27, Comfort, TX 78013

6. Original Round Top Antiques Fair (Round Top)

This antique show in late September features furniture, accessories, and other novelties from all over the U.S. and Europe. Trust me when I say you'll need an entire day or even several days to browse everything there is to see here.Address: 475 Texas Hwy 237 South

Carmine, TX 78932
