“There is gold in Every piece of your story.” Found in Magnolia Market
Jaunt- a short excursion or journey for pleasure.
When I found out that we were heading to Dallas for a meeting, I immediately started calculating how far Dallas was from Waco. I’ve always wanted to go to Magnolia Market. To my excitement it was only 1.5 hr drive away. So when we arrived to Dallas I headed out to Waco the next morning. I’ve heard the stories of how big the crowds and the lines can be. But I arrived around 11:30am on a Thursday and I walked right in. A Magnolia staffer greeted me at the door and complimented me on my dress. I know it sounds silly for me to mention that part but that fact that anyone connected to Magnolia liked something of Mine was a big compliment! As I imagined, everything had been thought out down to every little beautiful detail. I wanted one of everything but clearly that wasn’t going to fit in my suitcase. So I settled for a Magnolia Silos T-shirt and a few little Knick Knacks.
After I had drooled over ever inch of the inside I decided to head outside. Imagine the most beautiful lush green lawn to sit and have a picnic or a place for the kids to run and play. In the background you can view the famous Silos. Lining the sidewalks were plenty of food trucks for many different tastes, including one from Magnolia Table! So if you don’t want to go wait in the line for the restaurant, you could have a little sample of what is served there. I made my way around and found the Magnolia Seed and Supply. A little garden area with a cute little mushroom table and chairs, covered swings, and flowers of all colors every color and shape.
As the Waco Sun was starting to heat up, I decided to retreat to the Silos Baking Company. The refreshing air conditioning greeted me as did the smell of fresh baked cookies. The the line short. So my timing was perfect. I had to try Silos Cookie and the Lemon Lavender cupcake. Both were DEVINE! Unfortunately, I ate them so fast I forgot to take a picture. So you MUST head there to try one for yourself!
I had a great visit checking out everything Magnolia. If I ever go again, I would want to stay at one homes Chip and Joanna remodeled. Many of the new owners are now offering them Airbnb’s. There is a lot of Gold in Chip and Joanna’s story. It’s All over Waco. I think they turned Waco Gold.
Wait! Just Announced This Morning, Chip and Joanna are opening a HOTEL!!!! So next time I go I will have to check that out! More Gold in Waco.
