Secret shared

Ladies listen up! I am sharing with you a lotion and sleep help tip.  I have been searching for a lavendar scented lotion to use at night, ever since my favorite ran out and is not made anymore.

After a sister shopping day in McKinney Square in Texas, I found one!

 Lavender Mint by Niven Morgan.  To my surprise the product is made in Dallas too.  His website says he has some Louisiana connections too!  Gotta love both of those things.  I use it right before my head hits the pillow for the night.  I am a bit addicted.  Packaging gorgous too, such a treat. 

 And who doesn't want metal antlers to hold necklaces?  Found this little gem at Frisco Mercantile.

 She doesn't even realize she will be sitting on Santa's lap in a few seconds.

 MissRaylyn's Mama and Aunt loved him.

 MissRaylyn not so much!

Happy shopping everyone, now onto the Galleria!

MissLynley and I spent about four hours non-stop power shopping on Saturday.  I missed small business Saturday because of Thanksgiving travels and I promised Stephanie at Southern Charm Cottage in Flower Mound that I would stop by the very next weekend.

Wisteria Warehouse Sale

I wasn't going to go....but the last day came and I went!

Glad I did because I knocked five Christmas gifts out of the way.  Oh and three things for moi! Merry Christmas to me.

The tent is where all the accessory deals are and the warehouse has mostly furnishings.  I am already regretting not getting one of these baskets.  

I debated if Grandmother's house needed a time out chair/stool.  No way my grandchildren will be angels, right?

These bird candelabras would have been perfect for that nesting shower a few weeks ago.  It was rainy and dismal sorry these didn't photograph too well.

These trays are huge and this one will look great in my kitchen or on a buffet.  This lovely came home with me.

and.... two of these came home too.  I am going to Annie Sloan paint them and use them for food or flower pedestals over the holidays.  They are made to hang on the wall.  

Not too bad for a rainy Saturday morning.  Forecast rain all next week too.. Can you hear me screaming hooray!!

More Canton shopping

We always take a Texas two step in Canton on Trade Days weekend.  First and always stop at Laurie Anna's, see post here.  Then we head to Paul Michael's and then home.  We never make it to the Pavilions and open air booths.  We usually have spent our budget by the time we finish our two step!  Both of these shops are on highway 19 leading to the Trade Days Main Gate. Paul Michael's on the left and further down Laurie Anna's on the right.  Just look for lots of cars.   

Paul Michael's was in full blown holiday mood.  This display greeted us when we walked in the front doors.  Hint - there is a clearance tent outside by the side door.  Which made us have to head to the checkout stand twice.  Just saving you a few steps with that hint.

This store was in full blown Fall and Christmas.  Where Laurie Anna's was just fall.  She is smart and will make us come back next month for Christmas. 

They use every inch of this warehouse,  check out the stuff hanging from the ceiling.

I did head home with two of these frames.  Hmmm... I wonder why two, maybe future twin picture holders.  Yep!

I loved the white oval mirrored ceramic plates.  Maybe next visit?

Have any of you been to Paul Michael's or Laurie Anna's? Has anybody seen fall house decorations out yet?

  I think I am ready, 100 degree weather or not.  Maybe it will make me feel cooler.
