Frugal is Chic
Barb Tobias is back from her whirlwind southern book tour, where her lively and captivating accounts of thrifting across America demonstrated how a spoonful of creativity and a dash of know-how can turn a frumpy house into a fabulous home with little to no cost!
Listen to Barb’s interview on Your Brand radio.
With tongue-in-cheek honesty, Barb Tobias hooks arms with her readers as she strolls through the bittersweet flashes of growing up in a small agrarian town. Trapped in a life that never seemed to fit; tall and gangly through high school and eventually a lone divorcee raising a child, Barb is tossed into a tumultuous life that is changed by the simple act of attending a garage sale. The story begins when our tattered yet optimistic author collides with the alluring world of thrift. Cheeky humor and thoughtful insights pepper her journey toward living in a beautiful home and creating a fabulous wardrobe. A mushrooming niche, the downward spiral of the economy, and the “greening of America” are masterfully wrapped together in this heartfelt story that applauds the emergence of a woman’s warrior spirit.
