Fabulously Frugale Vintage Boutique was nominated and placed 5th on the Dallas A-List in the Best Vintage and Resale Category in 2014. I did not have available cash to finance the business (purchase new merchandise) and I did not want to borrow money so I researched and opened the store as a Consignment Boutique. During the initial year that I was open, my Mother died and I had a Major Stroke that rendered me into a Hemiplegic (completely paralyzed on the left side of my body).įast forward to 2009, we relocated to Irving, Texas, I was no longer paralyzed and I again pursued my “Dream” and opened Fabulously Frugale Vintage Boutique in Irving, TX on Main Street.

I got married and worked in various Social Service positions, continuously being relocated (Corporate transfers) to various cities in the U.S. To satisfy my parents, I enrolled in College at the University of Texas at Arlington and received a B.A. I held onto this Dream even though I was told by numerous people that my “Dream” was crazy. I told her that I wanted to own a Boutique since I had read about Boutiques in Magazines and actually visited a Boutique in Dallas with my mother. I wanted to own a Boutique ever since I was 12 years old, when I was asked by my 6th Grade teacher, what did I want to do when I grew up. 76 Tsavorites : 3.59 ct.Today we’d like to introduce you to Deborah and Michael Gallaway.ĭeborah and Michael, please share your story with us.
