Lindale Christmas Shopping
IRRESISTIBLE—Shopping for Christmas treasures in Lindale, such as
these dolls at Rags to Riches, is simply irresistible.
BY JOANNA TUCKER
In the past year Lindale, has
gained many new businesses.
Many people in the area may not
have had the opportunity to visit
and become acquainted with their
new neighbors, or perhaps they
haven’t had a chance to check out
the new items in some of Lindale ’ s
established businesses.
A LITTLE SOMTHING—for
everyone can be found in Lindale.
Fleming Corner Drug has soft, little
somethings for the soft little
someones in the house.
I thought it would be fun to go
shopping and make a list of gift
ideas to not only give you some
ideas for your Christmas list, but
to help you discover, as I did, that
Lindale shops have some very af-
fordable and unique items.
THANGS AND MORE THANGS
BUDGET CONSCIOUSNESS—Shopping in Lindale can offer good
savings. Stores such as Bill’s Dollar Store stock a variety of items for the
budget-conscious consumer.
FASHION & FLARE—Local
stores, like Fleming Apparel in
downtown Lindale offer great
fashions for the new year.
Take Highway 69 North for
about three and one-half miles and
you ’ll come to a round sign next to
Tyler Pump denoting Rags to
Riches, a small shop jammed with
wonderful gift ideas from prairie
bonnets, dressed bears in chairs,
beautiful hand- crocheted pillows
and Afghans, not to mention
Christmas Santas and angels, as
well as hand-painted life-like por-
celain dolls. They have “hold me”
written all over them. The shop
holds many more well-crafted and
unique items. Prices begin at $3.
Owner Bemiece Jones plans to
have the store open 9-5, Thurs-
day, Friday and Saturday for the
Christmas season.
In downtown Lindale on the
comer,Fleming Apparel has a
quality line of clothing and acces-
sories. Kathleen Fleming says the
thing that makes her feel good is
when a customer comes in and
tells her about a piece of clothing
she bought in the store that still
looks good after several seasons
of wear. Accessories begin at $3
and a brand-name blouse that
Fleming says holds its good looks
is $15. Also a bargain is the sale
rack with 10-40 percent off.
Walk through the store into the
next room, and you can be in
Thangs and More Thangs, a par-
lor decorated with a variety of
antiques, some from the last cen-
tury.
Don’t miss Spin Mania across
the street. They have the popular
troll dolls beginning at $2. Spin
Mania is where you can order a
shirt painted to order or do it your-
self. Or you can bring a favorite
item in and have it stuffed in a
balloon—an awesome sight. The
balloon is stretched rather than
blown up—a unique way to dis-
play your collectible. You bring
the item. They stuff it for $4.50.
Fleming Corner Drug always
is an eye-catcher with those pretty
ceramic ducks in the window not
to mention other unusual ceram-
ics in the store. Among my favor-
FOR THE SWEET TOOTH—
Home-made Christinas candy can
be found at the Lindale Candy
Company.
ite items was a plush bear with its
eyes rolled upward looking for all
the world as if it had been caught
with its paw in the honey j ar. They
have an assortment of plush stuffed
animals including an adorable kit-
ten. Comer Drug carries Russ
brand toys. Plush toys begin at
$5.95.
Across the street, Smith’s Phar-
macy is aglitter with Christmas
angels sparkling in the sun that
shine on the plate glass window.
The angels are a popular item
among shoppers, said owner Polly
Smith. Inside, a beautiful display
of imported Austrian lead crystal
delights the eye. Ordered special
for the Christmas season is a 100
percent cotton woven jacket—no
seams. This jacket is made from
those wonderful woven throws
Polly Smith has displayed. Model
DeAlva Waters became quite ab
tached to it. Stained glass and terra
cotta ware are among gift items in
the store. Smith says gifts begin at
