Vintage Eye Candy

Hey my friends!
We took a weekend trip to Dallas for our kids to spend some Christmas money :)

My favorite part of the trip is stopping in Canton at First Monday Trade Days.
Mainly, to shop at  Laurie Anna's Vintage Home.
Take a look at her shoppe.




My whole family loves to visit, to see all the "old stuff" she has.





Not only is her shoppe gorgeous and full of vintage beauty,
she is an angel herself.



You know how you meet someone, and right off the bat you
wish you could spend REAL time with them.
That's how I feel when I visit.




Laurie Anna has a gift for timeless design and creative style.
Her shoppe is overflowing with eye candy and incredible ideas for using
vintage pieces as home decor.




Of course, I could not leave without a few goodies,
which I will share with you later...



If you ever get the opportunity to shop with her,
you will leave with such inspiration.
And by the words of another shopper heard that day:
"I just want to move, so I can decorate another house!"

It is an unbelievable experience, and she makes you feel right at home :)
However, for those of you far away, shop online HERE.
Thanks, Laurie Anna, for such a fun day :) 



I am joining Kathleen for White Wednesday,
go check out all the other beautiful whites!

I hope you are having a great week!
Blessings,
Becky C

    Hi Becky! This is so cool because I was actually in Laurie Anna's saturday when you were taking these photos. BTW, loved your outfit. That dress was way cute!

    You truly captured the essence of one of the most beautiful shoppes I have ever seen. Thank you for sharing

    Hi Becky,

    I LOVE Laurie Anna's site. I would have such a hard time selling the beauties she has. Her style is amazing. You're a lucky girl to be able to shop at her shop in person instead of via internet like I have too : ( ... Thank you so much for sharing your trip with us ~

    Becky,
    Thanks for joining my giveaway. I'm following you back. I'm so jealous...we were in Flower Mound over Thanksgiving and I couldn't make it to Laurie Anna's shop. I will live vicariously through your beautiful photos.
    Have a wonderful week!

    Dear Becky, what a
    TREAT to hear from
    you! I'm just now
    crawling out from the
    flu and getting back
    to my e-mail and blogs.
    I enjoyed wandering the
    halls of your blog; your
    pics are so lovely,
    as are your thoughts.
    I jotted down the bible
    verse about JOY and
    I cried a wee bit with
    you about your sweet mom.
    My mom is also "Grammy,"
    and I cannot imagine my
    live without her, even
    though we live very far
    apart. I'm going to take
    a peek at Laurie Anna's
    shop, now. {I must be
    on the mend; I want to
    shop again!} Sending you
    belated new year greetings!
    xx Suzanne

    I just LOVE Shops like this... and I've often found the Proprietors are just as delightful to visit as their Shop. Thanks for sharing all this fab eye candy! Sounds like your kids weren't the only ones spending their Christmas money??? *wink* Dawn... The Bohemian
