McKinney's Oktoberfest September 24th & 25th

The soccer games were cancelled due to rain, which meant I had an open afternoon!  The cloudy day was perfect for McKinney's Oktoberfest!  It was also the perfect day for my daughter to wear her funky, cheetah, rain boots. 

Does my eye look big?

On my list of things to definitely do... visit the Antique Company Mall.  First stop, Ella Elaine's booths!  She always has something(s) I just have to leave with.  Today's find: burlap ribbon, my initial "C" & vintage folding measuring stick!  I only had my camera phone so I borrowed some pics from Ella Elaine's blog.  The blurry ones are mine :(  Click on over!  I love her style!

The other must-have from Petals & Vine Home Couture, is my absolute favorite candle by Archipelago Botanicals, HAVANA!  Sure wish they would come out with a room spray.  Make sure you go by and say hi to Marley!

Patina Green - Home and Market opened their doors June 26, 2010... which is why I didn't know about this fabulous place!  I hadn't visited the square since the spring.   I could have stayed in that store forever!  Visit their blog to see what they're all about.

Once I have a certain thing on the brain, I almost become obsessed with it!  As you might have noticed, I love burlap!  After leaving downtown McKinney, I needed to make a quick stop at Sam's Warehouse just for a few things and found this gorgeous, colorful burlap bag.  It only contained 15 lbs of RICE!  Now... how could I justify buying all that rice just 'cause I liked the bag?
