One of mine and Barret's favorite hobbies is to Antique Shop. Over Spring Break Barret and I went on a mini vacation to Dallas, Texas. We planned on going to a Dallas Mavericks game and take advantage of doing a little Pickin' on our journey. I had a friend tell me about a sweet little town called McKinney, Tx near Dallas that was great for vintage shopping. McKinney was soooo cute. Talk about a fabulous town square! So many adorable shops and Eateries.
Upon seeing this little beauty, we knew we needed to check out this shop. The trip was short and sweet, but we thought we should share our treasures.....
We only had a couple hours in McKinney, but I think we made them count.
Love this sweet book. You can definitely sense that this was written a few decades ago--hence that smoking a pipe in every pic. Looks like daddy needs to get the patch.
Barret spotted both of these pretties. We were looking for something unique to go in our living room, either above the mantle or as wall decor. The chippy front porch stiles were a perfect fit for our home. The vintage Victorian scale is simply gorgeous. Pictures really don't give this scale justice. It will be a perfect addition to our built-in china cabinet. Love love love!
I'm not really sure what I'm going to do with this vintage fabric I found. The texture is A-mazing. I just don't think I could bare to cut it...I think I'll leave it whole for right now until I can find the perfect project for it. Now for the tricycle....I spotted it outside one of the antique shops and I knew that we had to figure out a way to cram it into the trunk of my Honda Civic. On a side note, so glad that I did my yearly cleaning of my trunk!! The bike is so precious. I'm pretty sure that we are doing to put this puppy on the front porch with some lovely potted plants.
Hope you guys like our newest additions to our little home. I'll post pics once we get placements figured out! Have a great day!
Now I want to go to McKinney ... I hope that you didn't buy all the good stuff!
It is definitely worth the trip:)Lots Lot Lots of fun things to look through!
