Alert! A new business called Richardson Mercantile has opened in Richardson. Richardson Mercantile has various small shops in booths that sell a vast variety of items – antiques, crafts, clothes, decorator items, jewelry, paint, and collectibles. Honestly you can find a little bit of this and that in this mall. Occasionally I have enjoyed shopping at the Frisco Mercantile, but […]
A big shout out to Ann and Rebekah. I asked you to send me pictures of your fall decor, and they did. Not surprisingly, their autumn displays are much, much better than mine. I promised I would share, and I am thrilled to let you tour their homes. Both Ann and Rebekah have homes that are […]
It had been a long long time since I had visited one of my true loves – First Monday Trade Days in Canton, Texas. Usually August is NOT the month to visit the world famous, humongous flea market, but … it wasn’t a terribly hot day (for August), and we thought we would give it a try. Metal […]
It is like the Odd Couple – Felix and Oscar – when two different businesses share the same building. Just like the movie – it makes me laugh. While in Austin I noticed an Allergy Clinic that shared space with a Subway restaurant – strange but true. The Austin Antique Mall is in the same […]
More fun began when Jorene and I hit the streets of downtown Weatherford. I was shocked how many shops there were. Basically we shopped York and Main Streets which are side streets to the square. First stop was in a most unusual boutique called Something Special. Sherry O’ creates hand painted shirts (she is wearing […]

The Mr. and The Mrs. are related to Nancy who inherited the McNee Home. Nancy graciously allowed us to stay at the McNee Home during our visit to Henderson. We are blessed. […]
The Richardson Women’s Club recently sponsored a fashion show that included fashions from Canal Clothing (the Now) and wonderful vintage clothing (the Then). Mary Anne Wallace from Canal Clothing brought spring and summer clothing for us to preview. Our own pretty Shirley was one of the models. Good job Shirley! I learned – For your […]
I liked this home. Perhaps it was because it was filled with antiques that I would buy if …. Pat told me that the speaker at the luncheon mentioned that this home is a good example of updating that has “maintained its integrity by keeping all of the original hardware and replicating architectural details during […]
Getting to go to Fort Worth is exciting. Getting to go to Forth Worth and visit with my dear friend Jorene is fantastic. We talk and talk and never tire of talking. On this day, we shopped Old Home Supply House – “Fort Worth’s Restoration Headquarters”. Sweet Mother of Pearl. I love this place. Old Home […]
Trust me. There is little to blog about on an interstate highway. Miles and miles of highway with semi-trucks in front of you, semi-trucks behind you, and even semi-trucks beside you. (BUT, there are no stop signs, traffic lights, or reduce speed signs either.) Still I find the interstate boring, and I am easily lulled […]
