McKinney

This morning Lily, my Mom and I went to check out historic downtown McKinney. We've been meaning to go for awhile, but never got around to it. It is a really cute preserved downtown area full of shops and places to eat. Most of the stores are antique shops, with a few boutiques here and there. I didn't plan on buying anything, but I ended up getting some new valances for the family room -- something I have been meaning to do since we moved in, but never found the right ones! We also ate lunch at a cute little cafe while we were there. It was a nice way to spend the morning/afternoon.

Downtown McKinney, Texas

Of course we had to stop at the candy shop too! :)

Lily's favorite -- a quesadilla and chips. Of course she didn't eat the quesadilla until we got home, she never eats while we are out!

Another street in the Downtown area.

On the way home we stopped at a Texas themed furniture store. I have been wanting to get some tin or iron stars to hang about the entertainment center for some time now. Buying the new valances really inspired me to finally get some stars too. Of course being in Texas stars are not all that hard to find!! So we stopped here:

And I did find some some great iron stars to hang. As soon I we get them up I will post the before and after pictures!
