“Whoever said that money can’t buy happiness simply didn’t know where to go shopping.” – Bo Derek
Shopping in North Texas could be considered cardio, we have so many options: farmer’s markets and home stores, Japanese style dollar stores and even a quaint pink boutique in an historic home. Come with me and I’ll show you my favorite places to lighten my wallet.
(This post is hosted by Walmart. I was invited for a preview of their new store. All opinions are my own.)I'll be honest, I haven't always been a fan of the Walmart experience. I've always loved their prices, but there was a time when you really had to be ready for...
I have no idea what the name of this cool bookstore means: Interabang*. It was super hard to remember, until I had been there. Now, I can’t forget it.I am a lover of bookstores – I love books and all the intellectual goodies that go with them. This new Dallas one does...
I like to get my vinyl on. Specifically, my vinyl Silhouette Cameo projects on. And sometimes when I post projects, I feel a little guilty because I know not everyone HAS a Silhouette to play with at home --but now, anyone has access to one.The new Makers on Main in...
Don’t you love how bookstores are so much more than bookstores? I could get lost in one for hours, exploring all the titles and the interesting, more cerebral, unexpected offerings. “I love all bookstores. Once you walk into a bookstore, time stands still.” —Alec...
So I have to tell you about the party I went to last night. It was my first visit to Kim Hoegger Home (it's a store) located at 2933 Henderson in Dallas. And won't be my last. In fact, I've already been back. Despite how much I hate going to parties on my own -- Kim...
Life being on overdrive these days, I don't have the opportunity to shop very much (a good thing). However, spending the weekend going through my Mother-In-Law's estate can get a little heavy emotionally. Some retail therapy was in order this afternoon and Hallmark...
Miss Nan just keeps ratcheting up the parties at the Vintage House. I mean, really. They’re going to have to rename the store to the "Pink Party House!" Today’s soiree was extra special because designer Cinda Boomershine – otherwise known as my new best friend -- came...
It might just be enough to get me back on the golf course. Because when it comes to golf, it’s all about the accessories. For me anyway. And the golf club covers and tee bag from Cinda B are just the inspiration I need to get back on the links. But why stop...
Thank goodness Vera Bradley keeps pumping out new products. It gives our favorite boutique, The Vintage House in downtown Carrollton, an excuse to party. Last week they hosted a three-day open house to introduce the new Vera Bradley Baby line and you know the Cucpake...
It rained for 2 solid days. I don't live in Seattle. I live in Texas. And that kind of gully washer is kinda unusual. And annoying considering I have a leak in my trunk that only grabs my attention when it's wet outside. Pair the grey dismal weather to my ongoing pity...
Those crazy girls (and Shawn) at the "Pink House" did it again. If it wasn't enough that they were debuting the new Vera Bradley bedding, they pulled out all the stops. Inspired by Pinterest and a recent visit to New York to meet Amy Atlas, Jeanan, Shawn and the...
The burning question is… am I still couponing? Heck yeah. And I’m saving a lot of money and have a nice little stockpile going. And taunting my friends with photos of register receipts. I’m also learning all kinds of stuff from the radio podcasts, “Extreme Couponing...
Cake balls a plenty were promised, but I didn’t expect the bumblebees. The Princess and I went to the Vera Bradley fall launch at our favorite store. And Nan showered us with goodies and hugs as usual. But she always has something up her sleeve. I should know this. On...
Uh oh. I think I’ve been labeled a “couponer.” During a mad dash to the Kreepy Krogers this morning for Huggies wipes for 49 cents a box (heck yeah!) the checkout woman and also customer service manager said as I handed her my coupons, “Was this in this week’s paper?...
I’m lucky to live in a state that’s filled with a million miles of places to go – in fact, I barely need to leave North Texas to find the fun! Here are some of my favorite places to share with my family.
