Welcome to Smitten
Welcome to my store!
We're new to the blog world, so bear with us while we figure it out! A little about Smitten...
In Historic Downtown McKinney, Texas, there is a boutique at 118 E. Louisiana, called Smitten, the latest retail concept by Karen Dawkins, creator and owner of The Antique Collection. With a focus on turning old into new, Ms Dawkins and her team are emphasizing the Reuse - with vintage and antique furnishings, linens, books, ephemera, ribbons and lace; the Repurpose – finding creative new uses for everyday objects, new and old; and the Refresh – clean-up, spiff up, repaint, rethink, value of their products and services. And they have done it well... green may never have looked better!
Uniquely mixing old and new, antique and mid-century, country and contemporary, junk and keepsakes - Dawkins has created a shop that could be the pages of a tabletop book. Some of the brands in Smitten might be found in high end stores such as Nordstrom or Neimans, but for those interested in being kind to the earth, there are the brands to watch – White Works Linens, Patina Green, Feed Bob, Vintage General, and Studio de la Mer, just to name a few. From beautiful antique embroidered linens to authentic German glass glitter, the vignettes are havens for ideas, product uses and new decorating concepts that will make any home warm, inviting and earth friendly.
Smitten is located on the southeast corner of E. Louisiana and S. Tennessee on the Square, in Downtown McKinney. Their hours are 10:00am – 5:00pm, Monday through Saturday, and 1:00pm – 5:00pm on Sundays.
I love this store. I've been able to find the best linens and creative items to refresh my bedrooms. They will even work with you to order linen items or special items you may be looking for.

ReplyDeleteLove seeing you online!
ReplyDeleteIt was so nice to meet you Saturday. I was the one who came in with three friends and bought 3 quarts of Annie Sloan. Love your store and plan to return for more paint. However I think I wil wait until it cools off. Best of luck. Visit me on Shabby Friends.
ReplyDeleteWhere are you??? I've been admiring your website, but I was really bumming when I came to blogspot for your blog and there are only 2 posts. I'm not being critical... I'm just curious. It would be really nice to come here and see up-to-date happenings and ideas for Smitten. Hope this finds you all well and happy. Hugs, Penny Sue
ReplyDeleteEvery time I visit your blog or your shop I am inspired! Sigh! Just love it all! I've just started a blog of my own. Hope to inspire someday as well!
