Wondering where the heck-a-malecka I have been, well I’ll tell you.
I have been to McKinney to visit my parents, do some antique shopping and max and relax. Highlights include…
A trip for pizza at Campisi’s Egyptian in Dallas which is the closest thing Texas has to my beloved Davis Brothers Pizza in Peoria, IL.
The main reason for our journey was to attend a baby shower which got me to thinking about my own registry so I updated my Wist.
From Waco-McKinney we shopped for treasures at antique malls, flea markets and thrift stores. In Waco I picked up an amazing clay bust that has an uncanny resemblance to the one made of Lionel Richie in the “Hello” video that Hope is going to paint for me.
We got back from Dallas on Monday just in time for Vickie’s birthday dinner at El Chile complete with a handcrafted knitting themed cake. Speaking of Vickie’s birthday check out the amazing contest she is having on her blog where you can win 35 different books!
The rest of the week is being spent preparing for the East Austin Studio Tour (find me at 402-A Kirkwood Rd #141 on the map), putting together orders, gearing up for Top Chef and more!
you know I have that head’s twin in bronze on my front porch right now. Lock your doors next time you go out of town or you might come home to find him gone.
We thought of you when I scored the bust. Jonathan Adler has a very Jeff Koons painted MJ or maybe it’s Prince in one of his homes so I have always wanted one.
The antique shop also had the mother-load of horse show trophys that I though you might like.
Oh my gosh you weren’t kidding, that cake is awesome and it looks quite yummy as well!
Lauren it was lemon flavored and so yum. I have a thing for all things lemon flavored I think.
no way! i was in dallas this weekend too!!!
Damn you woman I told you to call me when you were going to Dallas! You could have come had pizza or gone to the flea market with us!
You know if you put a mustache on that bust, he will look like John Oats! 🙂
That bust really does look like him! And Vickie’s cake is sooo cute!!!
Marilyn that is tempting – A) I love Hall and Oates my phone's ring is "You Make My Dreams" & B) I just bought some black fun fur so I could easily make that mustache happen. He did afterall just win a lifetime stache achievement award on Yahoo.
Wists is awesome! I learn so much here.
that cake is amazing…did you make it?
