Our blogs attract like-minded friends...

friends who love to sew,
or friends who maybe even enjoy cooking!!!!
The list goes on and on, doesn't it?
Those who end up reading your blog and the blogs you end up
loving as well will most likely have TONS in common with you and
then you know you are indeed,
kindred spirits!!!
I arrived at the airport last Thursday afternoon
and found Lisa and her sweet babies waiting
and found Lisa and her sweet babies waiting
for me right outside and we didn't even skip a beat!!!!
Right from talking on the phone to
flapping our jaws in person....
it was wonderful ~
Well, Friday we took off and were on our way to Ann's
but had planned a stop at Winnie & Tulula's
to meet Debby of Talkin' Trash and enjoy this incredible shop!!
We had the MOST fun with sweet Deb of Talking Trash and had
lunch at the bistro inside the shop ~ it was so DELISH!!
We loved the menus created from old books and torn papers....
The gorgeous space of Daphne Nicole & Lynda Cade ~
It was such a great afternoon!! I just love these girls.....
I hope you've enjoyed the tour...OH and I forgot to tell you,
I bought the most INCREDIBLY beautiful
net panels to hang in our living room
on those huge old windows!!!
And you know as soon as I have them hung I'll give you a peek :)
Have a very happy Wednesday precious friends
and sweet kindred spirits ~
hugs and love,

Sounds like you had an awesome time. I am heading to Texas in June to visit with best friend and hubby's family. We lived there for 5 years and you know I never went to any of these cool places. That is going to change. I am going to McKinny, Winnie and Tahlulas and more.
thanks for sharing your trip.

Oh Dawn!
I don't even know where to begin.......first, thank you so much for sharing your amazing photos with us so we can live vicariously through you! What an amazing trip you had and such beauty you've seen....I'd be forever changed!
I think it's so funny how in almost every photo of anyone taken in Texas they show those HUGE wasps nests.....they're awesome! Especially when they're empty!
I'm so glad you had such a fun trip. It's fun spreading your wings, isn't it?
That velvety bedskirt is absolutely gorgeous!!!!
Thank you so much for coming by and for writing about us. I'll be adding this post to our blog roll.
Blessings,
Margo
Oh Dawn.....I'm sighing, I'm oohing, I'm aahing-what great pictures- the only thing I can think of that would be more fun than shopping with you two would be crafting with you and Lisa.
Dawn, WOW!!!....looks like you had an amazing time! Thanks for sharing those lovely pics!! I loved every one of them! We missed you this past Sat. xo
What a fun store! How fun, yes, we are lucky. Riki

Ooooh I love the pics - what a gorgeous little place. I can't wait to see the curtains hanging - you are too cute Dawn.
Oh I could spend hours inside this shop! I love places like this. It looks so comfy and homey, like you could just move in and live there!

Oh, Dawn, I know what you mean. This little screen in front of us with all the buttons to push has opened up a whole new world of friends via blogging! You talked about leaving your comfort zone to fly out to Texas but I think you FOUND a whole lot of comfort when you all met up out there! I know...it's truly wonderful!!
Hugs and blessings,
Diane
W&T is just as lovely as your pictures show but even more better in person. I can't wait to try out the Bistro. Isn't that Deb a hoot and a half!!
Hi Dawn, your photos are just gorgeous! I was so disappointed that I didn't get to meet up with you girls at a Winnie & Tululas when Lisa ask me about meeting you there, but I ended up having to go to the Doctor to get my soft cast off, and that was the only day they could do it that week! I hope you make another trip this way so we can meet! Do you ever go to the Warrington/Roundtop show? Maybe we could all meet up there sometimes... what fun that would be! Glad you girls had a great time... blessings~~~ Daphne
Love,love, love it all; especially those menus,boots, and chippy things. Kindred spirits are the best! And so are you Dawn!
Hugs, Gerri
Oh... where do I start? What an incredibly beautiful store, I could spend hours just looking through every single detail! Wow -
Thanks so much for the post
Caron
Hi, Dawn. These pics are amazing. So many beautiful things in these photos. I didn't realize Daphne sold in the same store! I love her bags! I am so glad you enjoyed your trip. I"m going back to study those pics some more!
What a grand trip with sweet friends! And such eye candy in those stores - oh my! Blessings ~ Heidi
Hey girl,
OMG, you got the most amazing shots of W&T, my fave is the one of the inside of Debs window. Really cool shot. I feel like a loser for not getting many shots, there was so much beauty there I just was dumbfounded. I want my beds dressed by Gloria!!!!! Waaaa Me crying. LOL In the future could you try to get a photo of me that doesn't look like someone just goose'd me! Lisa
ohhhhh....how beautiful and inspirational. You always take the most amazing pictures.
warm hugs,
Holly
Dawn, your photos are so amazing! All that
beautiful "stuff." Glad you enjoyed your visit
with great friends.
Smiles and Blessings,
Nancy
Oh my goodness, I want to LIVE in that store! Everything in there was gorgeous and just your style! Glad you are having so much fun, you needed a break from moving! QueenMarcy
What an amazing store, looks real big,too--and soooooo wonderfull, full of goodies.
Must be difficult to get back to normal life,sweet Dawn,-after this adventure. :)
The 3 of you looks so sweet, together,-
Thanks for all your great photoes, from this wonderfull tour, dear friend- I know you have so many lovely memmories, now, to enjoy.
Love to you and hugs,

How is it that you were so close to me and I missed you?!
augh! Debbie is a lovable little mess, isn't she?
;-D you have to come back so i can meet you!
robelyn
WHat a cool store! And I think Debbie from TT is ablast!
Thank-you for sharing the lovely photos and your wonderful experience with us. It was a wonderful window into all artistic and creative world you saw there. Saw some wonderful ideas for display in my own home.
I am sooo jealous. I met Debbie in August but just for a few hours and I never got to W and T. She is a hoot, a true original, authentic and beautiful woman. What wonderful photos of a lovely time. So much creativity flows around all of these marvelous people. You are definitely one of the tops.
Dawn
Thanks for the wonderful post on W & T's...I think you might need to be an official Tulula Head...lmk you received your package of window treatments...Hope to see you in Tx in the near future....keep in mind the chef lives in Tx...just saying....
