With the advent of the retro swing movement and the frustrating weekly pillage of the well known vintage shops, we thought it was time to let Teenie out of her bag. Teenie is a diminutive, friendly woman who runs a small but decadent vintage store in the Pecan Square shopping center. She doesn't advertise much, and because she shares her display window with a photographer, only a few of the most dedicated vintage hounds know she is there. Teenie's wares originate from the 1800s to around 1980. She carries 1940s compacts, hats from every conceivable era, gloves in every desirable material and color, dresses with swingin' skirts and princess seams to die for. As you try on her finds or browse, Teenie coaxes conversation. Many of her customers return simply to speak with her and ask her advice concerning their love lives and their clothes. So, next time you need some spectators or maternal advice, go talk to Teenie - just don't expect to leave her place within an hour.
