UPDATE 6/6: Made it to Magnolia Market today! Cute place...VERY busy. That place was HOPPIN'! Also VERY hot at around 90 degrees. It was a small store. A lot of small things to look at, most of which I had seen online. It was fun seeing it all in person. They were having a sale, so I got one reclaimed wooden sign for 40% off: bought this sign as my main bday present. There was a different one I wanted more, but they didn't have it in the small version, and I didn't want to buy it online.  I am going to back it with a solid color scrapbook paper and put it in a 12x12 scrapbook picture frame, then print off the magnolia photo I have posted below, as well as one other and put them all 3 up in my laundry room.  I will have to post my other 2 pics in a different post down below, because you can only have 3 per post. So, see below on pg. 1... OP: DH is surprising me with a trip to the Magnolia Market (The store owned by Chip and Joanna Gaines of Fixer Upper on HGTV) in Waco for my birthday next week. I can't WAIT!!!! If you have been there, how was it? Were you able to find reasonably priced items? I have a budget I have to stick to, and am hoping I can find something I really like within that budget. |

I am sooo jealous! I love Chip and Joanna. I hope you get to meet them! (Is that even a possibility??) I've never been to the store, but I do shop in their online store. Some of their items are reasonably priced, so I would think they would have some similarly priced items in their store as well. Please come back and tell about your experience (and purchases!).

Very fun!! I want to make a trip down there but I am going to wait until they finish the renovations and have their monthly antique flea market with food trucks and stuff. TXMary is going to meet me there. I guess it will be a year or so before that is ready but when it is, you should join us.

I promised to post & didn't cuz I can't figure out how to post the pics.  ?? Magnolia Market-easy to find. Really small. (Think small house.) nicely merchandised. The staff is very nice. They happily took our pics. I bought a cotton stem, a candle & a hat for DH. I thought most things were pretty pricey, but there were a few cute little things along with a lot of things you see on the show.One of the employees gave us the addresses to both Harp's carpentry shop & the silos where the new Magnolia Market will be. Clint Harp's workshop was about 5 min away. Looked around at their merchandise. Didn't buy anything. Again, pretty pricey.Looked out the window & Clint was loading a table in his truck. My DH went out to talk with him. He was really nice & took a photo with DH! Headed to the silos. We pulled up next to this black Denali. DH said , "I think that's Chip's" I told him he was crazy. Just then, the window of the Denali lowered & there he was-CHIP. I couldn't get my window down- darn child lock. DH got out of our truck...-as did I finally. Talked with him for awhile about the silo project. He posed for a couple of pics & told us they were filming that afternoon. We let him continue with his day. Really nice of both Chip & Clint to take time to visit with us. It was the highlight of our trip! |

You'd better not keep me out of the loop when you all get together in Waco!!! I'm in the neighborhood and visit Waco often. KikiPea check them out online so you can get a small preview of what they have and their prices. You COULD save your money and visit the antique shops on LaSalle. A very nice little shopping center. Joanna shops there and I think one episode was shot there. Lots of fun stuff to peruse. Have fun and Happy (early) Birthday! Thank you! I will have to check that out, if we have time. Thanks for the info! |

I would to visit the store as well. But I would also like to hit Antque Archaeology. Living in CA I think my dream road trip would be to start at Antique Archaeology, do that really long flea market, swing over to Texas and hit this store and amble back to CA with a full really big U haul trailer.  |

See OP for full update. I had to post these 2 pics here because of the limit per post. So, here are my other 2 pics: Me in front of the store: and the silos where the new offices and store will be next year. So cool! 2 hrs as a long drive for such a tiny store, and high prices, but it's fun to say I have been there. I will go again when they open the new place, for sure! Can't wait, R'Peas! |

It's also good you went today. Tomorrow we've got a lot of people coming out to protest the arrest of many motorcycle club members during the shootout at Twin Peaks a couple weeks back. Who knows how things are gonna go down tomorrow. Everyone is saying it's a peaceful protest but there's a lot of unrest in the area over it. Many shops have been asked to close down tomorrow. Yikes! Everyone stay safe! |
