Years ago, a cause close to my heart screamed for help. I knew I could do something and state level politics stirred my interest as an outlet to open ears. However, my education level, (or lack, thereof) left yet another question. After sharing these concerns with a 76 year old co worker, a suggestion absolutely floored me! She suggested the Mrs. Tennessee pageant system for married women. She explained to me the pageant's focus wasn't beauty but civic and charitable duty as well as views on marriage and motherhood. Simple involvement could, indeed, raise awareness for my cause, Special Education in the Public School System. Realizing Tennessee's SE programs ranked 44th in the US, I knew I had to try. Several years, a win, and a move to Texas came and went and I still see the results. Not only in the program's progress, but in myself. How coaching and networking with women in the fashion industry have shaped my futurewho I want to be as an individual.
I founded FrillSeekerz based on one simple element. Find beauty in what is not.
Round Top Antique Festival has become my stage twice a year for showcasing what I find beautiful. Salvaging junk from estate sales, garage sales and flea markets, I sell the repurposed goods as apparel art and furniture designs repurposed for future junk lovers. The tent is, of course, a "less than" prestigious gallery wall but has its own charm, nevertheless. The best part is the red carpet stage that's actually a combination of red mud clay and straw! This redneck beauty queen has been repurposed into a "redesigner" with love of nature, history and of course, reinvention!
