Charmed at Charming Charlies

I recently went on a hunt for a very specific gift for a party.  While I was out and about I decided to check out Charming Charlie’s – a cutesy, vibrant accessory boutique which has recently sprouted up around north Texas shopping centers.

Let me first say that it took me a long, long, long time to (1) claim Texas as my home and beyond that, it took even longer for me to be proud to say that! Alas – I think I have finally arrived.  While in Charming Charlie’s I stumbled upon something that even a city-lovin’ girl like me had to have.

Yes, it is even faux textured to resemble hide hair!

For those of you who are already attached to your wallets, may I offer up other cute Texas-inspired accessories?  I mean, let’s be real ladies – we Texans are PROUD.  And cute!

Looking for some last-minute Thanksgiving decor?

How about these?

We found these at Garden Gate (940. 387-8863) in Denton. They are a unique addition to any table and they’ll fit right in with your lovely spread. In fact, how about right between the greenbean casserole and the mashed potatoes?
