My FAVORITE Dallas Spots

Over the past few years I have gotten into the routine of hitting a few spots in Dallas.  Some of my closest friends have helped me find these places and so they are very special to me for that reason!  Saturday I took a day to myself and hit most of the places- which always puts me in a good mood.  I sort of love shopping by myself... or with someone who separates from me and then rejoins me later.  Haha- I am a loner.  So if you ever come to Dallas then go to these vintage hot-spots and you will feel like you are shopping and eating with me:)  OR just call me and we can for real eat and shop together.  Most of these places are thrift/vintage/antiqueish type.  They are all full of random things, which always makes things more fun!  I included information and websites for each place in case you want to check them out.... you are welcome- my secret places are longer a secret.  P.S. most of these places are hit and miss... don't give up on the prize.  Oh and I put these in this order on purpose.  This route is well thought out- I have done this many times.
