Teaser, part 1

With the third semi-annual Top Shelf Flea Market less than a week away, the time has come for some shameless commercialism.

An Affordable Wardrobe is proud, once again, to be an outside vendor for The Cordial Churchman. Ellie makes a high quality bow tie for short change, her husband helps out, and together they raise a beautiful family besides. What's not to love? See the whole story in their new video:

True, I'm the number one shill for these people. But what's wrong with supporting good old American cottage industry? A selection of Ellie's work will be available at the Affordable Wardrobe booth on Sunday. Check it.

Ellie obviously has an eye for great fabrics and great styles. The four-tone seersucker and chambray bowties are drool-worthy in particular. I remember a patchwork tweed scarf that they sold back in the day that was pretty incredible as well.

And hey, it's a small world. The background photo for the super on the names is one I took.

Someday, I will make it out to one of the Top Shelf Flea Markets, dang it.

You're a good man (being the #1 shill for Ellie). I gotta wonder why her husband isn't wearing a bow tie as he narrates their story.

Wishing you great success at the 3rd semi-annual T.S.F.M.
