The sun bore down on those late September days that The Elegant Thrifter packed up his wares and and headed down to the Longhorn State for the Texas Antiques Week to join forces with LeAnn Stephenson, The Vintage Laundress. They set up their goods at The Texas Rose Antiques Show: he with copies of The Find: The Housing Works Book of Decorating With Thrift Shop Treasures, Flea Market Objects, and Vintage Details, and she with all her linen finery and china niceties. Their meeting was a match made in vintage heaven -- one that the thrift gods and LeAnn's husband smiled upon.
The dynamic thrift duo milled about the tables set up for miles around and heaped with alluring treasures, picked through old cookbooks, admired kitchen knickknacks, laughed at funny doodads, and certainly enjoyed their fair share of canned diet DR Pepper and bottles of blush wine.
And along the way they met all kinds of creative folks like Maggie from The Veranda in Canton, who can take almost any scrap of paper and turn it into a whimsical object of beauty. Oh... and they sold a book, a tablecloth and a napkin or two.
Take a look at the video and see for yourself.
Always Frugal, Always Fabulous!
