Hillcrest Thrift Stores - The stores in Lenexa and Lees Summit are run by mostly volunteers who take pride in putting out items that people would love to have. 

Frugal's Family Thrift Store - They truly care about providing for people in their community.

Revival Home Furnishings - When it comes to furniture, they have a wide selection, easy to shop, friendly service, and fair pricing. 

Anne's Picks

Hosting events using thrifted items can be thrilling. Mixing styles, eras, prices and looks makes for a table to be enjoyed differently each time you host. 

Blessings Abound - My favorite place for tableware. They always have an abundant selection.

Glenwood Antique Mall - The kinds of things that make for good conversation starters!

I’m a modern traditionalist who isn’t afraid of color. I have always had a strong desire to "make." It began with making music and evolved into a jewelry company, a stint in the New York fashion industry, a career planning parties, culminating in making a home for my family and capturing the moments we make here.
