Co-owners Erin Letz and Jennifer Kinney held a grand opening for their new home decor shop on Feb. 12.

What they offer: The shop sells European-inspired pieces, including furniture, handwoven rugs, handbags, art and accessories, Letz said. The two love traveling and will curate one-of-a-kind finds from overseas for shoppers.

Letz uses her background in interior design to help customers find the right pieces to fit in their home, she said.

In their words: "I officially launched Modern Grace in 2015, though my design work began in 2013 after completing a design program at the Interior Designers Institute in Newport Beach, California," Letz said. "We’re based in Colleyville and primarily serve the Mid-Cities and greater DFW area. I’ve taken on projects farther afield, including Houston and Seattle, but my heart has always been here."

Three candidates are on the Republican ballot for Texas House District 98 for the March 3 primary election. The winner of the primary election will appear again on the November ballot against the Democratic primary winner.

What's happening? Three people are vying to replace Giovanni Capriglione (R-Southlake), who will remain in that position until January 2027. First elected in 2012, Capriglione chose not to seek another term, according to his Facebook page.

The winner of the November election will serve a two-year term in the House. The district represents Grapevine, Southlake, Keller, Colleyville, Westlake and portions of Trophy Club, Euless and Flower Mound, according to the state website.

Preparing for the polls: Early voting for the March 3 primary runs from Feb. 17-27. Registered voters may cast ballots in either Texas’ Republican or Democratic primary, but not both. Third-party candidates will appear on the November ballot.

The overview: Candidates were asked to keep their responses to 50 words, answer the provided questions and avoid attacking opponents. Responses may be edited for length, clarity and style.
