The Pecan

Love love love this sweet lil shop in Keller. Great coffee, amazing candles, and wonderful soaps. The owner is a decorator and arranges and displays her merchandise in a way that gets you so excited about purchasing delightful treasures to incorporate into your own home. One of the most adorable shops I’ve ever visited. Super friendly staff offering free coffee and prayer or advice daily. A must on your visit to old town Keller.

There is a LOT to look at. She has everything from doilies and little things to very nice well taken care of antique furniture. You have to have the time to look because she mixes shabby chic with full blown antiques. HUGE collection of coffee pots and percolators.

My wife had some things on consignment there that were for sale. We drove up one one day and saw that one of her items were was placed outside as if it were just junk. The fabric had been aged from being out in the 102 degree heat for who knows how long. I couldn’t believe how they treated my wife’s things. It disgusted me and I wouldn’t encourage anyone to put things there for consignment.

I drive up and down Main Street in Old Town Keller every once in a while and rarely stop in the shops because I’m usually in a hurry to get somewhere else. After having lunch nearby the other day, I decided to chill and choose one shop to visit that day. I chose The Pecan.
Like many of the businesses in Old Town Keller, The Pecan is located in a small converted cottage. It’s loaded with furniture, baby items, teacups, kitchen gadgets — well, you know all the usual things you tend to see in antique stores. I don’t know much about antiques, but think there are plenty here, along with ‘vintage’, and just plain ‘old’ — like every other antique store. While I didn’t see anything in the antique or vintage category inside the store that begged to go home with me, outside the cottage I did find a metal sculpture that was perfect for my patio. And since it was something I had in the back of my mind to buy if I ever ran across one I liked, it turned out to be a good buy rather than just an impulse buy of something I’d ‘find a home for’ once I got home. How’s that for rationalizing?!
The person working in the store the day I went was very friendly and offered coffee. It’s a nice little shop and worth checking out if you’re in the area.
