A FUN TIME SHOPPING IN A SMALL TOWN

I wanted to share with you another really unique shop in Graham, Tx. Graham is quite close to Possum Kingdom Lake, Northwest of Fort Worth and south of Wichita Falls, Tx. Should you be traveling through there, be sure you make a point to stop at J. Dolittle & Co. and enjoy shopping and visiting with the owner, Vicki Milam. Dolittle's is a shop that showcases local artists work, and also carries a line of linen clothing and ladies handbags. It is a small shop with big impact! Enjoy.........













(I like the corrugated tin ceiling)











(Love the brick walls)

(I like this old cabinet with all the drawers. It would make a nice jewelry cabinet. If you had it, what would you use it for??)

I have found a flowering plant that butterflies flock to. It is purple ageratum and as you can see in the pics, when it is blooming it is covered in butterflies!

A GREAT PLACE TO SHOP

The city of Graham is a great place to sight see and shop. It is alittle over an hours drive northwest of Fort Worth, Tx. It is known for its large town square. Graham has great places to shop around the square and in the downtown area. Nearby is Possum Kingdom lake which is a large resort lake. There are also some other neat old towns around which makes it a nice sight seeing area. It even has a drive-in theatre. You dont see those much anymore. If you go to Graham, be sure and stop at "The Vogue". It is a furniture and decor consignment with lots of great stuff!! The owner, Cathy, is a very sweet lady and will give you a warm welcome! She arranges everything in showroom style which takes talent to put together an appealing presentation of so many different pieces. Here is a peek at a few of the things...........












I think this metal vanity is so...cute! Very unique



I can picture this little love-seat, painted white with linen upholstery.






Cute little rattan folding chairs, there is a pair. And great little wicker rocker for a porch!!














I like this pillar used for display.
Hope you enjoyed, be sure and check out all the other great posts at Outdoor Wednesday!

OUTDOOR WEDNESDAY

You know how sometimes time just gets away from you? That is how this past week has been for me.

I am participating in Outdoor Wednesday over at A Southern Daydreamer.
Be sure and check out all the great posts there.

We have grapevines and last year I learned to drastically prune them so that they produce. This year we got lots and lots of rain which meant lots and lots of grapes. I have baskets full and not quite sure what to do with them. I think I will cook them down and freeze the juice for right now till I figure out exactly where to go from here. I could make jelly, I just finished doing that with the wild plums. I had hoped my son-in-law would want to try his hand at making wine!!
