Postcards from Texas
Texas has never really been a place I dreamt of going. Don't get me wrong- I have nothing against Texas. I’ve probably just been ill-informed by too many stereotypical cowboy movies, leading me to imagine myself geared up in a cowboy hat, riding horses and toting a shotgun. I hate riding horses and I’ve never discharged a firearm.
However, when the opportunity arose to tag along on my best friend Stacy Rhodes’ annual Texas buying trip, I let go of my horse-riding, firearm-wielding fears and jumped at the chance. Stacy owns Dream, a shop in San Mateo that has unique vintage and French decor, garden ornaments, gifts, and much more. She travels to Texas (among other places) twice a year to hunt for amazing treasures for the shop. If you haven't been to Dream, GO. This store is a true labor of love, offering one of a kind decor from around the world that Stacy expertly curates with her unique style and skill.
How was the buying trip? Well, Texas turned out to be hot, sweaty, and dirty, but it also turned out to be quite a dream. We made it back with plenty of bug bites, but more importantly, plenty of incredible goodies. Here are a few postcards from our trip...
