I'm so excited to share the goodies I found this past weekend. As I mentioned yesterday, I spent a weekend in Dallas, wandering and finding new and interesting things. Perhaps my favorite find was the shops of the lower Greenville area, along Henderson ave. They are a funky mix of vintage furniture and decorative accessories sourced from independent designers. They are so fresh! In fact, most of these shops have been in business less than two years.    </span><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i> </i>Our first stop was<i> </i><a href="http://sputnikmodern.1stdibs.com/store/furniture_search.php?FRID=lGqaZZdjkZmc"><i>Sputnik Modern</i></a>. Although, not a large shop; its packed with very cool and original mid-century furnishings. Ahh, heaven for a vintage lover like me:) I think I loved most, the collection of leather chairs. Beautiful!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gt7eA_0QKPA/TQvZ1RVfVFI/AAAAAAAAGFE/JUYzyAQQIfA/s1600/Picture+14.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gt7eA_0QKPA/TQvZ1RVfVFI/AAAAAAAAGFE/JUYzyAQQIfA/s1600/Picture+14.png" /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_gt7eA_0QKPA/TQvZo87ZWeI/AAAAAAAAGE8/9DxeZobJmGs/s1600/Picture+15.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_gt7eA_0QKPA/TQvZo87ZWeI/AAAAAAAAGE8/9DxeZobJmGs/s1600/Picture+15.png" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gt7eA_0QKPA/TQvZ5wSYhpI/AAAAAAAAGFI/F00MM5Wcloo/s1600/Picture+13.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gt7eA_0QKPA/TQvZ5wSYhpI/AAAAAAAAGFI/F00MM5Wcloo/s1600/Picture+13.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-size: x-small;">I wish I could move in here.
