Showcase of Artisans & Upcycling Vendors "Friends" Week 2

This weeks showcase shines the spotlight on a local artist and good friend Debbie Thigpen. I met Debbie back when I was still getting my feet wet in the antique mall circuit. She came into a shop I was in, struck up a conversation and we have been good friends ever since.


Debbie works as a special educator in our local school system and spends her free time junking and creating. I have always told her she has a great eye for the unique and highly sought after finds. If she decides to ever quit her day job she could make a good living picking and creating her art work. Her work is reflective of farmhouse/vintage and it always amazes me when I see what she has come up with next.

Enjoy a few pieces from her collection and go by The Nest On Bradley Street to see more from her and other local artists.




Becky owner of The Nest works hard to bring her loyal customers a wonderful variety of vintage furniture, gift items while proudly promoting local artisans and products.
