Let's Go Shopping

This Sunday's Show and Tell is a visit to our favorite shops. Come with me for a tour of my favorites.  Good Goods in Visalia, California is a day trip for me and my hubby.  The shop is a restored Victorian house that is filled with good things.They sell beautiful antiques and  home decor.  There's also a big barn full of furniture and a garden shed  filled with outdoor  tables, swings and  other garden decor.

My hubby likes to eat at Taylor's Hot Dogs in Visalia.  We compromise.  I get to go to Good Goods.  He hangs out with me and then we have lunch at the hot dog place.   
I also like to browse through The Emporium in Clovis, California.

It's a nice big antique store with a little bit of everything. I don't always spend money there.  I like to window shop and look at all of the goodies. I took Amy there last week and she  pointed out the little pink dress in the frame up on the wall.  Cute idea.
This shop is called Heart's Delight. It is my favorite place to shop for my friends and my sister-in-laws.  They have everything from Mary Engelbreit to Department 56. 
Of course, the best place to shop is right here at my computer.  I love visiting Etsy and seeing what's new.

Thanks Cerri for hosting this week's Show and Tell!

Betty, What a delightful group of stores. Of all the fun and beautiful things in all the shops the Mary Englebreit bags really caught my eye. To my knowledge, there are no shops in my area for vintage and antiques. There are plenty of antique stores in Berkshire Co.,Mass, an hour eastward and also in Lake George, NY, an hour northward. But not as large as the stores you have showed. Another reason to live in sunny California !!!! Janice

What lovely pictures, so bright, fresh and clean. I'd love to visit and shop those places. I had an Aunt that used to live in Visalia but I was too young to remember let alone shop there. Too bad.

Betty....I have always wanted to go to Good Goods.
Thanks for showing the pics. I have heard of the famous hot dogs too. My son usually has some football stuff in Visalia. Next time, I will have to try both! Also, The Emporium is where I first started selling....I love it there.Sounds like you had a great weekend!

Well, I have to make a trip to Visalia! I've been to Clovis many times - such fun. I wish it was a tad closer with the price of gas the way it is. It's about a three hour drive from here. Oh, well. It looks like a divine store.

Oh, my gosh, I'd have so much fun browsing! I'd even have to save up some money just so I could buy something nice.
BTW, I got the fabric for my apron from the site reprodepotfabrics.com--as the name indicates, they sell reproductive vintage fabrics. There are some cute things there!

Oooh, the doorway in that shop is wonderful, what a cool place to go.

[Beverly]

I do believe I would like to go shopping with you. And, I just might want a hot dog, too. Will that be okay?

[Jenny]

Betty, thanks for taking us shopping -- they don't let me out much... for good reason! That pink framed dressed is awfully cute. It's a cute idea to do with a favorite child's outfit. Looks like you had a mighty nice time.

Hi Betty!
You have some awesome places to shop! Wish I'd been there too - I'm also a window shopper & love just looking! Even the hot dog sounds great ~ must have been a really fun day!

I'd do that trade too, if I were you! Love the shop pictures! Cute idea you pointed out, the clothes in a frame! I just saw Robin (Thrifty Priss) do this very thing!

Oh, even the ornate doorway in the first shop is to die for! What a fantastic day that must have been!

Oh happy day,

I need to come to Clovis to shop. I love the town anyways! What amazes me so much about Clovis is that all of the major stores are all on one road. No who woulda thunk?

Thanks for taking us on the great tour!!
