Welcome the “Newer Kids On The Block” !

I love seeing small businesses thrive – here are some gems to check out in Richardson:

1. Lone Chimney Mercantile – Do yourself a favor… SHOP HERE! If you’re looking to treat yourself to a sweet piece of jewelry, need a last minute gift for just about anyone or need to vamp up the ugly room in your house.. this is the place for you. LCM carries fun decor, jewelry, tshirts, baby items, socks and gifts galore! Its sensory overload in the best kind of way. Not to mention, the coolest front entrance ever… perfect selfie spot!

2. Sweetwaters Coffee & Tea –  This charming coffee shop offers a great space to meet up for a coffee date, study session or some time to read and enjoy yummy coffee, tea or pastries. The decor is fun, coffee is good and staff is friendly.

3. Rare & Unique Resale – Located near TJMAXX, it was just a matter of time before I stumbled upon this gem. I’m a huge fan of thrifting (or as Mom and I call it, Junkin’). This is one of two locations that offers absolute eye catching clothing. They carry all kinds of designers from Michael Kors to vintage Badgley Mischka! The price point is phenomenal – it’s the perfect spot to find something one of a kind for everyday wear or a special dress to impress event.
