Those aren't just words for the folks at Sunny Hearts, Angleton's one-of-a-kind coffee bar within a gift shop nestled into a grand old two-story house. Kathryn and her cast are experts at providing just the right flavor, just the right gift, and just the right welcoming smile to brighten any visitor's day.
I'm not a coffee drinker, but I am a coffee appreciater (appreciator??). I love to breathe deeply and inhale all of the wonderful scents filling every nook of this old house. I'm also not much of a stuff buyer, but I am a Sunny Hearts merchandise admirer and gift shopper. I am continually amazed by the beautiful and unique items Kathryn finds for her customers.
One of Kathryn's greatest gifts (and there are many) is her ability to display merchandise strikingly. For this year's Christmas season, she decided to convert their outdoor room into the Christmas House and fill it with items from the Round Top Collection as well as other special holiday decorations.
Caution: this series of photos may cause you to leap into your car and drive to Sunny Hearts (405 E. Mulberry, Angleton TX) as fast as you can.
The Christmas House is a true work of art, with countless details to discover and enjoy.
And if you're like me, you just want to buy the whole display and take it home because you KNOW you could never create your own. But maybe that's just me.
Be sure to stop by Sunny Hearts sometime as the sun is going down so you can enjoy all of the twinkling lights. They'll help you pretend that the temperature is at least a little below 80.
So Kathryn and Amy devoted hours upon hours decorating the Christmas House ...
... but they certainly didn't stop there. Every display indoors is just as intricate and eye-catching.
And there's truly something for everyone. Take your time exploring and no telling what you'll find.
Kathryn's goal from the very beginning has been to feature carefully crafted items that speak to the heart.
Fun hobby and college-themed items are abundant here as well. Sunny Hearts carries an extensive Life Is Good collection.
I'm not sure whether Santa actually shops here, but I did spy him at the coffee bar chatting with Conner this past weekend.
You should treat yourself to a visit, too. Sunny Hearts is open for extended hours during the holiday season: 7:00am-7:00pm Monday through Saturday. You still have time to stop by and pick up last-minute Thanksgiving decorations, but you'd better hurry - I've got my eye on several things in this display.
Thanks for brightening not only my day, Sunny Hearts, but our little town as well. What a treasure you are!
For the Lord God is our sun and our shield.
He gives us grace and glory.
Psalm 84:11
