Unique Unique Design

It’s been a crazy week. Mayron and I went shopping at First Monday and, sadly, Mayron fell and ended up breaking her wrist in 2 places. She had surgery to have pins put in and is now on the road to recovery. She’s still uncomfortable when the meds wear off, but hopefully, will improve everyday. She has about a 4-6 week healing period. She doesn’t have a traditional cast, but some sort of “Frankenstein” apparatus as she calls it. (We’re not called Unique Unique for nothing!! :0). Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.

Here are some more pics from our Grand Opening.

Gather has already had several events in here and we need to restock….especially once everyone picks up their purchases.

It’s been going well, except for the broken bones.

We’d love for you to come by and visit. We are open Thursday through Saturday from 10:00am to 5:00pm.

See you soon and WATCH your STEP!!

We did it!!! Gather and Unique Unique Design officially opened this new business Thursday night to a very receptive crowd. It was alot of work and took the hands of many people to get the completed project ready, The place looked wonderful with delicious food being served and oohs and aahs being heard all around. These pictures were taken before all the food was placed and one table wasn’t completely set, but hope you can get an idea of what was there.

Large paper flowers by Theresa made exclusively for Unique Unique.

Olive jars and horn floor lamp before paper comes off windows.

Large shirt counter with awning in the background and antiqued mirror that can be customized for you situation.

Large basket and ironwork.

Metal shelves, large trough, cheese mold pendants, linen covered bench.

Another view of mirrored table and acrylic containers. That’s a canvas and iron voting booth in the background.

White pumpkins, purple velvet pillows and a better view of the voting booth.

This is a really neat industrial cart with linen cushion.

A large piece of original art done by Carol for our store.

Stone fireplace, tall conveyor belts, wicker settee with linen covered down cushion, and homemade marshmallows on the sticks and on the cake plate.

French table with cast iron urn and downspouts.

The table in the background hasn’t been set yet and food is not all out on front table, but the coconut cupcakes are waiting to be eaten!

This is a venue for events such as luncheons, meetings, rehearsal dinners, special occasions and weddings. Really for all manner of things folks want to “Gather” together to do. And it is, also, a fun place to shop during your gathering or walking in off the street. Unique Unique Design is the design end of this with lots of wonderful merchandise you can take home. Most everything in the store is for sale or can be ordered. We’d love for you to come by and visit if you find yourself in McKinney, Texas. Mayron and I plan on having the shop open on Thursday, Friday, and Saturdays from 10:00am to 5:00pm. You will, also, be able to shop by appointment.

I will add more pictures taken on Opening Night soon. Hope you enjoyed the little tour and wish you could grab a marshmallow or cupcake!!!

See you in McKinney!!!

I know it’s been forever since I’ve posted on our blog or even checked out other blogs. We have been extremely busy!! The house project we were working on changed to an “opening a store” project. The lady we were working with on her house ended up leasing a large space for an event center. She asked us to come in on the project with her. As a result, she decided to put her house on hold until she got this new business up and running. Just in the last couple of weeks she actually found a preexisting home that she has decided to purchase…..so our projects have changed greatly.

We will be showing and selling from this new venue. We will, also, be working in conjunction with events that occur there. Our merchandise will be for sale, but, also, add to the decor of the events. When some one wants extra for an event, they can hire us to come in and do more than the basic package. “Not your standard” rental items will be available from us, too.

This has all happened very quickly, so we have been pretty slammed. Our inventory had gotten low as we had been selling from the house, but not really making a huge effort to replace it. So, here we are about to open this exciting new project where you can shop, eat, have a party or even get married!!

Gather in conjunction with Unique Unique Design will officially open the doors on Thursday Oct. 21st at 6:30 pm.

There will be

Sensational Shopping 

and

Scrumptious Snacks

and a fun time for all.

If you are anywhere in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area, please join us and bring a friend or more. We are located at 207 E. Virginia in McKinney, Texas. If you have any questions, please e-mail or leave a comment and I’ll get back to you.

Sorry, we’ve been away sooo long, but will try to do better once we open.

Put on your shopping shoes and come say hi!
