Just checking in to say Hello and share a cute little place I went shopping.
 |
| I spent the day with these two sweeties. My daughter Jen and granddaughter Charlotte. |
 |
| This wonderful place was called Avant Gardens and is now called the Shops on 71. It is three wonderful vendors that rent this place and sell the most amazing things. I was here the other day with a good friend and she spied something she just loved so my daughter and I took a ride back to pick up this wonderful gift for my friends birthday. |
 |
| Now these next three pictures are for you Texas gals and southwest girls. One of the vendors takes cowboy boots and stuffs them full of wonderful fall decor for front door decor. Loved these. |
 |
| Look at these sweet chippy hangers. The cloche on the left my daughter bought to put on her dining table. She will add fall decor under it and make it pretty. |
 |
| All the vendors are starting to bring out their fall decor. |
 |
| I loved the faux fall flowers this vendor has made into many cute centerpieces. |
 |
| Loved this guy he just made me smile. |
 |
| One of the vendors had a whole lot of "Kris" things. White, chippy shabbies galore!!!! |
 |
| Swooning over these white corbels. |
 |
| Loved this sweet little kitchen island. |
 |
| Lots and lots of farmhouse decor. |
 |
| Look at this cute lamp!!!! This would be so cute in a laundry room. |
 |
| I of course needed one of these sweet shirts! |
 |
| Sweet overnight bag. |
 |
| I am thinking about this lovely piece. This armoire has hanging on one side and drawers on the other. I am thinking of getting this and putting it in our bedroom or the guest room of the new house. Our 1949 cottage we bought does not have big closets so this would give us some more wardrobe storage space. Of course it will be painted white!!!! It has really cute feet!!! The price was really good on this piece and they are having a grand opening sale on Saturday so I think it will be even less. Progress is continuing on the new house. Hoping the basement stuff will be done this week and then the garage all done by the weekend. Then we can start to think about setting up our move in. Ahhh a girl can dream!!! Have a lovely rest of the week and wonderful weekend. xoxo Kris |

Ahh Kris, this looks like my kind of store! I must argue with you on the cowgirl boots though, that they are for Texas or Southwest girls... I am from NC and here we have tons of people who wear boots and that decor would be a hit around here too. :) I love the cloche your daughter purchased, I am envisioning all of the pretty ways you could use it to decorate with!
ReplyDeleteI bet you would love these boots! They were cute for anyone!!! Happy Friday and have a great weekend.
DeleteHugs,
Kris
How fun, so much cute stuff and a day shopping with your daughter and grand are always the best kind of days. Love that armoire too, I am sure you need that one.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a wonderful place to shop! That armoire is beautiful. I know you are so ready to move into your sweet cottage.
ReplyDeleteAww!! who's is that cutie pie.. you daughter is so beautiful and jolly.. XOXO..

Good morning Kris!
ReplyDeleteNow this is my kind of day....and I've spent many of them this summer, perusing great antique shoppes. It's over for me now; today is my last day of summer vacation and how will I spend it? I HAVE TO GO TO THE DENTIST!!!!!!!
The kids don't go back to school until Tuesday, September 5. But next week, we teachers have to get back for meetings and preparation. The good part is however, that on my way home from school, there are lots of antique shoppes to stop into!!!!!!
How is the house going?
Good Morning Kris
ReplyDeleteOh How I wished there were places like that to shop in around here where I live. I would go crazy in a place like that. So many amazing things. Hope you can move in soon****

Now you're talking. I know when you're shopping, it's decor time! Love the old wardrobe. It'll look great in your home, and even be period-appropriate! Jen's wire cloche is really cute too. Hey, those boots are a two-fer - you get door decor and door knockers, both for one price, lol.
ReplyDeleteLove the patina on the armoire!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie charlottes is :).

The armoire is very pretty! I can just see it in your home painted white. Looks like a very fun place to browse and shop.

What a fun place to shop! I saw several things that would look fab in your house...see, I'm helping you spend your money...ha! The armoire would be perfect for your home. The farmhouse I grew up in had only one closet and it wasn't even in a bedroom. I had an old chifferobe in my room that I kinda wish I had now. Your daughter and granddaughter are very pretty. Love the cloche Jen chose for her home. You're getting closer to moving...are you counting the days? Have a good weekend. xoxo
ReplyDeleteThat's a sweet picture of Jen and Charlotte! What a great place to shop, Kris! There are so many wonderful signs and I also love the cows and the mint colored scales. The big bag is fantastic too. The armoire would be wonderful for your new home.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!

Hi Sweetie, I'm glad that you are taking time for yourself. You little one has really grown! She is so darling. I love the shop you went to what a fun place so much inspiration. I think that wardrobe would be so beautiful in your sweet cottage. I just know that you new home is going to be amazing. Have a lovely weekend.

Hi Kris! What a beautiful shop! So many things caught my eye in your photos -I can't imagine what it's like in person! I have a metal cloche like the one your daughter bought! Love that island and cute little desk and that old washer lamp is fabulous! Those big white corbels need a place in your new cottage! Diggin the t-shirt and the overnight bag and YES! The wardrobe painted white would make for incredible and charming extra storage! I hope you can get it! So glad y'all had a fun time and that your construction is almost complete! Have a great weekend! Hugs!

ReplyDeleteI wish there were places like this near me. I could get into real trouble though. So sweet...and the picture of the girls is wonderful. Jen is beautiful, she is a perfect combination of you and your husband. xo
ReplyDeleteCharlotte has really grown. I agree with Kim that Jen is beautiful and the perfect combination of you and Terry. Love that armoire. You should get it. =) Hugs
ReplyDeleteKris, there is nothing better than a good shopping trip! This looks like a great store. You can see such a variety in these kinds of shops. You need that wardrobe. Closet space in older homes are really at a minimum. Your daughter is so pretty, looks just like you..Have a wonderful weekend..xxoJudy
ReplyDeleteAw, look how big Charlotte has gotten! Isn't she a cutie!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool, cool place to shop! Definitely get the armoire! It would be perfect for extra storage!

ReplyDeleteWhat a darling shop. I would have been so tempted to buy, buy, buy. I love that cabinet. So cute.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you has tons of fun Kris,
ReplyDeleteAs for all the great Junk for Junk Chic Cottage? I too love the corals, and would have had to has snagged up that armoire. So you have my vote.

So happy that you had a wonderful time with your sweet girls! Yes, that t-shire was made for you!!!
ReplyDeleteThe scale on the kitchen island really caught my eye. What a nice place to shop!
ReplyDeleteI certainly will have to take a jaunt down there----not really too far. Fun place, thanks for posting, Sandi
ReplyDeleteShopping with those cuties is a great place to be when there is construction going on at home. LOVE that little washing machine lamp... almost as cute as Charlotte! :)xo
ReplyDeleteThat armoire would be lovely once Kris-ed with white paint! I love the corbels too, and that pale green scales on the island you liked is a dreamy color and shape.
ReplyDeleteYou're sure making me crave some shopping time with granddaughters! I pray that all goes well with the final countdown to move in time!
What fun to find such a lovely little place to shop! Indeed they had many things that you would love, I saw some gorgeous things I would love myself! Those cowboy boots - so fun, what a neat way to use up old cowboy boots! I am glad that things are progressing in your house, and hope that you get to move in soon! Precious pictures of your daughter and granddaughter too :)
ReplyDeleteKris, This is such a cute shop and I know you had a fun day with your girls. That little lamp is adorable for a laundry room.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun shop! I hope you got the armoire to do your magic on.

She will be so happy with you. Have a lovely week <3

Your daughter really resembles Terry, but she has the sweet sparkle in her eyes that reminds me if you! Charlotte is so cute. Is this the daughter that also has Abby?
ReplyDeleteWhere the heck is this place??? I want to go! I saw a lot of cute things I'd love. The T shirt is you, and I hope you snag the armoire!
