For Fixer Upper fans, Chip and Joanna Gaines recently opened their new store at a renovated silo property in Waco, TX. Lines on Saturday to get in the store extended around the block despite rain. Sunday was beautiful but the store was closed. The wonderful Baylor campus is just a few blocks away.
Magnolia silos
Pictured here in front of the Silos at the Magnolia Market, with a cupcake from the Silos Bakery. Every time I come here, it’s always a joy.
