One Week and Counting----Round Top, Royers, The Prairie, Marburger

Wow!  I cannot believe it's only one week---time to rev the motor and head south to Round Top.  Rachel Ashwell has the best post about her preps.  I love the look of the Shabby Chic Couture Store.  Here are some shots from Rachel's post.

Wisteria Store

Went to the new Wisteria Store near Love Field in Dallas the other day. The store is set up in the most wonderful vignettes. It really shows their products off; the decorator/stylist is very talented. Here's a couple of pictures from their site. They had these fantastic large pinecones hanging from the ceilings--I want them.

Autumn at the Arboretum

Pumpkin Village

Today we took a trip to the Dallas Arboretum. I've lived in Dallas for almost 32 years but had never took the trip. It boosts to have the only Pumpkin Village in the world, however, the thing that interested me most was "HOW IN THE WORLD DO THEY GET THE PLANTS TO GROW SO BIG"! They must use mega fertilizer.

Wisteria

Yesterday we made the shopping circle. First, the Tuesday Morning Last Call on Inwood. I bought a bathroom rug for $2.00 and some kitchen towels for $4. Then the cutest lamp store on Lovers Lane. Have to go back there. Next, to the most unforgetable fabric outlet on Harry Hines--it was not good. Large, but not good. Now I know where I can get a large selection on spandex. Finally, the last stop was the Wisteria Outlet. I love this place. I've never bought anything big, but I absolutely love everything that I have bought there. I bought some pillows similar to these but in greens and turquoise for $5 each. The colors were perfect for me as was the price.
