Whimsy and Ruby Begonia’s…
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 Ruby Begonia’s and Whimsy.
I love Monica’s store! There is so much to look at!
and I adore her clothing! There were a lot of thing’s I drooled over.
Traci’s store is a few steps down.
Her stuff was right up my alley. I just love Traci.
And everything was displayed in these awesome vignette’s.
It’s so worth the trip there.
Here are a list of all of the other shops in the downtown area if your are interested.
