When I went to the 3 French Hens Market on Saturday, we also walked around downtown Morris. It is only about 40 minutes from me, but I had never been out that way. I have to admit, living in the western suburbs of Chicago my whole life, I never though of it as a great place to shop and hang out and had had no desire to go. We’ll I learn something new everyday! What a great, little canal town! Quaint is the perfect word for it. It had a ton of character and there are a bunch of really cool shops. With the Market, you could definitely spend a day there shopping and looking. If I had more time, I wanted to drive around and take pictures of the houses. I might have to think about finding me a farm out that way to settle on after we retire.It had such a great, historic vibe. Around the downtown area all of the homes had that late 1800 early, 1900 feeling and architecture. That may have to be another trip for me and another post. 🙂 Two of my favorite stores are Whimsy and Ruby Begonia’s Shop Retail Display.
These two stores are so amazing! Just walking in the doors gives me a sense of peace. I am so excited to share them with you!
At Ruby Begonia’s there is so much to look at and there were such beautiful displays such as this cluster of clock and black and white typography.
I loved this collection of handmade items paired with the cloche and little bird.
All of her clothes were so beautiful and had such an artistic touch to them.
Cute tops with fringe and ruffles on the sleeves
I adore her clothing! There were a lot of thing’s I drooled over and wanted to take home. The way she had them hung and displayed were so pretty too. And there were all of these little vintage touches scattered through the store as well.
Traci’s store is a few steps down.
Whimsy has a romantic feel with soft textures and lots of vintage feel.
Everything feels so calm and romantic with birds and lots of typography. Her store displays have a calming feel to them.
Her stuff was right up my alley, And I just love Traci!
Even her fun 4th of July displays have sweet touches, and things you can’t find anywhere else.
And everything was displayed in these awesome vignette’s. It’s so worth the trip there, it feels so creative and inspiring!
I love how she added these paper flowers to her wall. They are made from coffee filters and are so sweet!
It’s worth a visit to check out their inspiring and creative shop displays and to see all of their beautiful goods!
