| McKinney, TX |
Recently, The Travelling Toe and the three Day Trip Divas, hit the freeway system to journey to the cute town of McKinney. It has a well deserved reputation for decorating the downtown area for holidays and Christmas in particular. We were in a festive mood and felt the need for some retail therapy.
Street scenes:
We walked the town square centered around the old Colin County Courthouse. It now houses the McKinney Performing Arts Center.

One shop we visited was "Fair & Square". They import products from over 40 developing countries ensuring that the artisans and farmers are empowered to help them and their families work out of the poverty cycle. The store is full of interesting, unusual and fun things.
The countries that the shop imports goods and products from are shown on this world map.
We also visited other boutiques and galleries including the Antique Company Mall.
Keeping hunger at bay, we stopped at Spoons Cafe for a nice lunch. The "greeter" below was so life-like it was hard not to ask her for menus!

After more pursing around the square, it was time for a late dessert and pie was the choice for us all. After those calories were consumed it was time to go. We only scratched the surface of this historic downtown district and the other interesting tourist spots that McKinney has to offer. We will have to make a return trip to discover all the additional attractions.
