That's what my husband calls these girli-fied places-- the home of all things antique-ish, garden-y, vintage, shabby chic, and scents-y.

Honestly, this place is one of the things I miss most about Texas (well, that and good Tex Mex). I imagine the old metal garden chairs they used to have on their front porch and get really homesick.

My husband and I used to love coming to McKinney on…More »

When I first moved to Alberta, it took me a little while to get my gardening mojo back. I mean, you don't just move from one of the hottest climates in the world to one of the coldest with no growing pains. I watched my mother-in-law working on hers,…More »

This is now one of my favorite stores in San Diego, and I'll go visit if ever get back. I couldn't believe all the wondrous decor here.

If you love Paris or anything remotely antique French or that reeks of Parisian chic, you'll adore this place.…More »

I managed to escape from Edmonton during the worst of our snowy January, and one of my favorite days in California was my excursion to Ocean Beach to go antiquing.

This place is so fabulous. Huge, and so much to see. All kinds of kitschy doo-dads to…More »

This place is definitely one of my favorite spots in Edmonton. My husband and I visited for the first time years ago when we were still living in Texas (it looked a lot different then...), and I still try to get back at least once a month, if not…More »

I like this Homesense the best since it's a HomeSense and Winners combined, so I can get more shopping done at the same time.

You can find pretty much whatever you need for your home here, and you don't have to spend a mint to do it. The nicest thing…More »

When I'm ready to begin the whole springtime dethaw and start planning the year's garden, I love this place.

I'm more of a flower and herb-planting gal rather than veggies, and the abundance of nifty stuff just outside their door is just made for…More »
