The Pink Pistol

Tishomingo, Oklahoma. Home to Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert but also home to Miranda’s store – The Pink Pistol. A boutique that has caught quite the attention in this tiny town. As we all know I love random drives that bring me across the scenic countryside. What better than to head north to Oklahoma and kill two birds with one stone?!

Pink Pistol 078Upon entering the store, you’ll see a lot! Get ready! First off, you’ll have time for a photo opportunity. Since Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, this seems appropriate.

Pink Pistol 039If that’s not enough – there’s also this “Queen’s” chair. That’s what I’ll call it anyway. It’s pretty awesome. Yes, I totally took a picture of myself in the chair. Hey – I took this drive solo folks! Grab the moment, even if you look a little ridiculous while doing it!

Pink PistolMiranda related items of course. Mainly, shirts, mugs, wine glasses, coffee and even Blake has a spot against the back wall with BBQ related items and shot glasses. Other random items and art work were also available.

Pink Pistol 3I found a lot of the items in the shop were little trinkets and random items. The best way I can describe it is items that you would find at Urban Outfitters. This turkey timer was pretty rad.

If shopping got you a little hungry or thirsty (or you are waiting for your signifcant other to finish perusing), have a seat and grab a sundae or Miranda’s special drink (cherry and vanilla syrup in carbonated water) – it’s pretty delicious!

Pink Pistol 1All in all, it was an interesting little shop. I thought it would be more “Miranda” oriented than it was and it was a little pricey but still something to check out once.

For a glimpse into The Pink Pistol in Miranda Lambert’s hometown of Lindale, Texas, swing over to Mason’s Mama and see her experience!

Be sure to come back on Wednesday to see some of the sights I saw along the way!

Catch the Moment, Week 3

Each day in 2014, I am taking a photo. There is no telling what the photo will be or where the “inspiration” will come from. All photos are taken either with my Nikon D5100 or the iPhone (for those times on the go). Come back each Friday for a complete compilation of the past seven days and link to join / view others as part of the 365 projects!

I really need to start using my Nikon a little more as opposed to the oh-so-easy iPhone. I think things are going to start calming down a bit (at least I hope so) – let’s keep our fingers crossed. Here’s this past week!

This week:

Day 17/365: January 17, 2014
I hope this counts even though I didn’t technically take it. I can’t be behind the camera all the time! Got to meet Will Hoge after his show at Billy Bob’s! Name sound familiar? He wrote and sings “Strong” on the Chevy Silverado commercial. Incredible songwriter, performer and is incredibly nice! Check out his music!

(17-365) 010Day 18/365: January 18, 2014
Nice days are made for drives! I got in my car and headed north. More on this coming up in a future post soon! Stay tuned!

(18-365) 055 (2)Day 19/365: January 19, 2014
Yes, my damn tree is still up. It’s to the point where I haven’t had time (I’ve been busy writing posts for y’all). My mom was telling me it was going to start sprouting branches pretty soon. This apartment will turn into a tree house. Yikes! (Side note, the tree finally came down on day 23.)

(19-365) 005Day 20/365: January 20, 2014
Days off are nice. Even better when you can go for a walk and not wear a coat! A little weird when you remember it’s still January!

(20-365) 009Day 21/365: January 21, 2014
I didn’t leave work until 7:45pm. I usually leave work at 4:30pm. This is just sheer exhaustion and waiting to leave (waiting on others).

(21-365) 012Day 22/365: January 22, 2014
A little Target wandering. Enough Said.
