Your Favorite Monthly Blog Post! : Window Shopping Monday!

Me :)

Mom (always so thoughtful and fun!) planned a window-shopping outing for us in downtown McKinney! It's a once-a-year treat!

The rest of our group

This watercolor really caught my eye

Decorations everywhere...

Merry stitching :)

This little restaurant on the square is so amazingly tempting! It looks so fun and beautiful...

Another glimpse. I'd love to go there someday -- I don't think that'll ever happen, but I can dream, can't I? ;) It looked like it would be quite expensive.

These paintings were charming...

These were really creative! Someone took an old book, and cut it into a letter.

This one, they did a cutout in!

Our two guys -- thanks for your patience and humor, Micah and Stephen!

;)

Sorry for so many pictures -- I just saw so many neat things! :)

Lunch break... Stevia sodas, thoughtfully chilled in Micah's mini cooler!

Isn't it wonderful that God writes the chapters in our lives?

Waiting while Deborah purchases something in a store :)

Micah :)

Deborah buying something...

This shop is really a unique treasure! So many unusual and neat items!

Earrings, anyone?

Debs liked this Christmas tree, made out of soda cans

Sisters and friends

Heavy French Revolution reading, anyone? Oh -- don't bother, just read my book! ;)

Beautiful

This reminded me of ya'll's fun tailgate, Beth & Erich! :)

The frog outside the book store's door

Stephen found a neat book!

Reading. What else do you do in a book store?

Fun outdoor seating! :)

Darling Mom heard that I needed a travel bag, and she bought me this one!

Compartments galore... (I love compartments!) :) I can't wait to use it when we travel to San Antonio to help out after Beth's baby comes!

And just a fun extra -- the brand is Orla Kiely, the designer I shared some pictures from in my "Beautiful modesty" post a while ago. Here's two shots from her Fall 2014 collection:
