I bet UniqueUnique has something to do with the display!

UniqueUnique all festive

The Old Lumberyard has a sale Saturday

Pocket full of Heirlooms has the greatest restored travel trailers

Homepieces is really festive this year!

Homepieces has all kinds of fun industrial items

and neat French mirrors and more!

and on to My Favorite Room around the corner!

Head out to McKinney in the morning, and you will find the
square covered in things to do for kids of all ages! Ton’s of
rides, and entertainment for the little ones and of course
all of my favorite shops are ready to help you with ideas
for gifts! You will see ton’s of glitter, vintage ornaments
and all kinds of unique, non mall type items! The old
lumberyard on the other side of Hwy 5 also has a great flea
market on Saturday as well. Even my friend Vince is there from
Princeton and some items from his great shop GoodLook.
Stop in at Patina Green for a great organic salad or sandwich
and a few chocolates as well as the best iced tea! Grab some of
Robert’s great salsa to take home!
I may even have to go again as there was just too much to see!

How not to Shop at the Mall on Black Friday…

Head to downtown McKinney and visit FRINGE the event, and Vincent at
his shop GoodLook set up at Old Lumberyard and Antique and Junk sale!
And yes, Fringe is open again since so much is happening
in Downtown McKinney this weekend, why it might even be Dicken’s
on the Square weekend as well!

Patina Green

Patina Green Trunk unveiling, Bloom a new store in town and Nancy’s Birthday!

neat white trunks for sale!

Nancy bought herself a birthday present!

and a tag to hang on a wine bottle…

always a neat display at Patina Green!

and of course you can’t forget to check out the bath decor!

and on to Bloom , the new dress shop!

really great finds for every age and great prices!

Brian and Kendi opened BLOOM the cutest new store!

Nancy’s Birthday and a stop at Patina Green
to see what all they found in Europe this past summer,
what fun to see all the neat finds! Then lunch at Robert’s
counter with soup, sandwich and split a salad! We love to
eat at Patina Green and with the beautiful weather got to
sit outside. Nancy and I headed down the street afterwards and
stopped in the newest store in town called Bloom! What a great
little clothing store with owners Bryan and Kendi who moved up
from Kerrville, just to open a store in McKinney! Guess they love
McKinney about as much as I do ~ Cutest dresses and tops for the
most reasonable price, gives the appearance of being a whole lot
more expensive, yet everything was really reasonable. Why Miss Nancy
even bought a new jacket! “Nancy’s Day Out” was a success and will
continue in a few weeks when we head to Hico for Homestead’s fun show…
visiting with Willow Nest Farm, maybe Peacock Alley will be there
again with their fabulous Airstream Trailer! Can’t wait, but tomorrow, off
to FRINGE in McKinney for their monthly sale! So much shopping-
What’s a girl to do???

A Hop, Skip and Jump over to Princeton!

but first a stop at Spoons Garage for a cup of potato soup! the best

Good Look by Vincent also at the Lumberyard sale

which is where I first met Vincent several months ago…

Vincent’s new store in Princeton, just a few miles down the road from McKinney

Kari and I had a great time sharing apps, blog info and of course a photo shoot!

the prices are really reasonable at Good Look

and everything is simply Beautiful!

and i love the clean, industrial meets vintage look of the place!

Vincent has a great eye for detail and display… stop over for a visit when you can!

I believe this is the oldest building in Princeton, just across the street

and on the way back home, a stop at the cementary in McKinney

my favorite place on Earth!

this has been a busy weekend for shoppers all around!
From Fringe the Event, to the McKinney 3rd weekend flea
market, which sadly, I have never been to, to the Lumberyard
sale across from Fringe… and then a venture out to see
Vincent’s new store in Princeton… and we still have Sunday
to see what comes our way!

I spent the evening with the Violin Guy… well, sort of.
