Event: An Evening with The Elegant Thrifter, Tuesday May 19 (NYC)

Thrift is the new black... come celebrate this season's hottest accessory!

The fabulous, high-end merchandise that fills the Housing Works Thrift Shops is enough to overwhelm even the most skilled shopper. What to buy? What to pay? And once I’ve got it, how in the world do I put it all together?

Take a deep breath. Help is here.

On Tuesday, May 19th, Hired Gun and Elegant Thrifter Stan Williams -- author of The Find: The Housing Works Book of Decorating with Thrift Shop Treasures, Flea Market Objects, and Vintage Details -- will be at the brand new SoHo Housing Works Thrift Shop, ready to answer all your vintage questions.

Sharing his exceptional gift for thrift, Stan will spend the evening walking you through his seven easy steps to becoming a successful thrift shopper. By training your eye, he'll have you completely prepared to put together a stunning mix-and-match set of china, create a coordinated group of dissimilar chairs with just a coat of color, and even take surprise discoveries (right from the store that very night!), using them in fresh, unexpected ways.

Meet, mingle, and mix a dash of education with a whole lot of fun. And best of all -- Stan will be signing copies of The Find!
