"“Give a girl the right pair of shoes, and she can conquer the world” — Marilyn Monroe Shoes reflect our personality, our fashion sense, our role in society and our mood on any given day.

"I have a few other bargain beauties from VSAI, which sells works in a gallery at the Harrison Center, and for a minute this morning I thought I should write a blog plugging student artwork. Then I got swept up in the workday without even jotting down the idea on my Teux Deux list homepage. (Get it? To-do, only Frenchy?) But Piper Voge from the Southport Antique Mall rang me up and—what do you know?—this weekend’s Southside Vintage Marketplace will feature a student art group called Art with a Heart. Serendipity!" |

"When Alissa Thompson begins to feel exhausted, she says she just thinks of the people she gets to see every day, the ideas she’ll hear or the support she will receive from the antique dealers, staff and customers at Southport Antique Mall (SAM).

Twenty years later, she says she feels lucky to run a retail establishment with such great employees, customers and unique products, still finding happiness inside the store every day." |
