Day Eight (or Old McKinney Recap)


The days are getting shorter and yet I seem to have more to do. I am trying so hard to get the house ready for the holiday season. I know that it seems early, but I feel I am running out of time already. Planning and execution should get me through the next couple of weeks. I can only hope.

One of the cool things I did while visiting the BBSis was to go to the Old Square in McKinney. We promised the kiddo's that we would only visit three stores and then we would do something they liked. They made sure to count the stores, but they were good while we were there. I wanted to check out the "yarn store" downtown, but it was three skeins in a basket. Not very yarny.

The picture is one I sneaked at The French Mix. I love the thought of hanging a chandelier in a bird cage stand. The French Mix was one of the highlights of the trip. They had a great mix of pieces which were very well merchandized. It made you want to buy everything in the store.

And then there was Clyde's. Clyde's is a blast with all sorts of antiques hidden all the little cubbies. I ended up purchasing a set of canisters there that I think will complement my intended color scheme in the hopefully soon to be remodeled kitchen. Of course, they didn't make it into the suitcase this time, so pictures will have to wait.
