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!
Fabulous Cowgirl necklace

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?
Fabulous Finds at Francesca’s
In addition to these great deals, Francesca’s Collections in The Shops at Highland Village offers to host Private Shopping Parties after hours for any size groups. Attendees may bring refreshments and will receive a generous discount off of their purchases. Contact the store manager, Cambry Mills, for more information or to schedule a party.
Affordable Extravagence at Extravaganza
Extravaganza also harbors a variety of monogrammed gear – from key chains to coffee mugs to water bottles with secret compartments, they have what you’re looking for. Some of our favorite monogrammed gear included mom’s coffee mugs and kid’s water bottles.
In addition, you can find many custom wood-lasered frames in various sizes to decorate your mantle or your bedroom wall. Here are 2 of our favorites:
Wooden Lasered 2′ by 3′ Large Frame $60.00

Finally, we couldn’t help but giggle when we came across these fun party napkins. Maybe it’s just a mom thing?
