After the market we headed over to the Guadalupana Bakery and Cafe on Dunlavy. It is a tiny place that sits kitty-cornered (Texas talk for cross-wise) on a corner lot. They have some tables and umbrellas outside and a few tables and booths inside. We ate inside. It is too damn hot to eat outside even at 9:00 AM. They had a great looking case of Mexican rolls and pastries. I bought my favorite pan dulce, orejas. They were larger than the ones we get in San Miguel and I've nibbled off of one of them and they seem a little sweeter as well.
It has been a while since we had a Mexican breakfast so we also had breakfast. It was good and had a nice bite of chili. The big cups of steaming hot coffee had a touch of cinnamon. It was the first time we had been to Guadalupana but it won't be the last time.
When we left there it was almost 10:00. The Guild Shop, a resale shop, is on Dunlavy. It opens at 10 and we were on Dunlavy so why not stop. I've been looking for a cake plate to take back to San Miguel. I'd already checked out one of my favorite consignment shops and the one they had was pink. Pink isn't working for me. I have also checked out places like Crate & Barrel and theirs were all on pedestals and expensive. I don't have room to store a pedestal and I don't want to spend $40 to $70 for a cake plate. The Guild Shop had exactly what I have been looking for...a cake plate with little feet and the price was right, $9.This was a very good Saturday morning.

Oh, that looks good! I got to sleep in today so I'm reading this on an empty stomach and now I'm starving!
You have opened my eyes to Houston in a wonderful way. We've always just driven on through and hoped to get out the other side or sat around in the airport waiting for a flight. I've never spent any time there, now I want to.
What a nice morning. The orejitas sound great. My dad used to made them and maranitos too. If that's how it's spelled. The breakfast looked great. Billie, I hope your husband is doing well and you too. Have a great weekend and thanks for letting me tag a long on your fun morning. Take care.
Aaah, I traveled with you..........down memory lane. Love the Guild Shop!
SOunds like a delightful morning.
Kitty- Corner is also a Pacific North West term as well.
As always you two are having fun - we hope Senor Ned is doing OK - You two are in our prayers.
So envious of the farmers' market and the resale shop. Great deal on the cake plate, looking forward to a cake photo now. Hope Ned is doing better and you'll get to go home soon.
