Left: Dianna Brown invites you to “Let’s Eat Cake” Vintage Market Days 10 year anniversary event!

Vintage Market Days® Celebrates 10 Years of Success in Tulsa Owner’s passion for vintage evolves into franchise with markets in 25 states

BY ANGI BRUSS

hat started out as a fun hobby has created 10 years of success on a scale larger than Dianna Brown could have imagined. Brown is the owner and co-founder of Vintage Market Days, an upscale, vintage-inspired, indoor/outdoor market. Ten years ago, Vintage Market Days started oﬀ in a pumpkin patch, quickly outgrew that space, and made its way to downtown Tulsa. It ultimately ended up in the Creek County Fairgrounds. During the last 10 years, Vintage Market Days has created a franchise with almost 60 territories in 25 diﬀerent states. To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Vintage Market Days, www.vintagemarketdays.com/market/ tulsa, the Tulsa event “Let’s Eat Cake” will be held April 29 - May 1, 2022. Brown said she’s always loved vintage, even as a child. And her family has embraced her love for vintage as well. “It has completely transformed not

only my life but so many others,” Brown explained. “For me, it allows me to make a living while doing something I absolutely would be doing anyway. My entire family has been involved in the event from day one. The boys and my husband load furniture and park cars, and my daughter takes tickets. They help set up the event and tear down when it’s over.” About 100 vendors are involved in Tulsa’s upcoming Vintage Market Days, and more than 40,000 vendors are a part of the national franchise. Brown said almost all of them rely on the income they make from Vintage Market Days. Vendors like Kim McGee, who owns Okie Chic with her sisters and best friend. McGee said, “Okie Chic has been with Vintage Market Days since the very ﬁrst event and hasn’t missed one. We always have great sales there and it has never let us down. Since we are mostly all handcrafted it takes us months to prepare.”

VALUE NEWS TULSA APRIL 2022 WWW.VALUENEWS.COM

Vendors at the upcoming Vintage Market Days sell a wide variety of goods including antiques, clothing, handmade jewelry, home decor, original art, floral and garden, home and body fragrance, textile, and outdoor furnishings. There will also be food trucks and snack vendors. The market is family-friendly with fun activities for children including balloons, face painting, and fun temporary tattoos. There will also be live music during the event. Partnering with a non-profit is something Vintage Market Days has done from the beginning. For this event, the non-profit partner is Branch 15-Eastern Oklahoma. Branch 15 provides Christcentered housing with individualized care and support for women on their paths to recovery. Branch 15 will receive a donation at the end of the event. Brown said, “It means the world to me to be celebrating 10 years with Vintage Market Days. My love for this business and all the individuals involved is very real and is something that has forever changed me.” Vintage Market Days will be held at the Creek County Fairgrounds located at 17808 W. Highway 66 in Kellyville, OK. Tickets for April 29-30 are $10 and tickets for May 1 are $5. Children 12 and under are always free. Hours are 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Tickets are available online and at the door.

Expert Advice for a More Energy Efficient Home BY KATHY SMITH

lder homes can be made more energy efficient with smart upgrades that result in lower utility bills, and added benefits of increasing the value, comfort and beauty of your home. Investing in your home’s exterior, windows, attic, and roof are all environmentally-friendly improvements with energy-saving payoffs. Millennials (in 2022 ages 25 and 40 years) are one of the largest home buying segments today. They are economical and are ecological-minded purchasers whose buying decisions rest on energy efficiency to save money and leave a lower carbon footprint. Community Builders, Inc. is a local team who provides answers to your home energy efficiency needs. Owner Greg Wolter started Community Builders, Inc. in his bedroom in the early 1980s. By 1990, they had moved into a building, and nearly every year since then, have seen steady growth in sales. Starting with siding, the company has expanded over the years to its now all-inclusive specialty home improvement services including windows, roofing, bathrooms, sunrooms, insulation, gutters and doors. “My passion for this company is two-fold. First, I want to see the people that work here improve their lives… We constantly talk about how we can become better human beings. And then, we want to make sure we take care of our customers and that they get a good value,” Wolter said. Windows, doors, and insulation are three areas where minor change can make a major impact. In fact, Community

Builders, Inc. has helped customers reduce their utility costs by 50 percent, just by upgrading windows and insulation. Their energy efficient products include EnviroView replacement windows, Green Energy Barrier radiant insulation, Cedar Ridge composite siding, and insulated 26 gauge steel metal roofing. They offer seven styles of windows, and each are installed with a low-e coating and airtight seal, giving them heightened ability to keep hot air out during the summer, and in during the winter. Their doors are durable, high quality and high performance. Also installed with a customfit to make an airtight seal, a door from Community Builders, Inc. will stop drafts and reduce your energy bills. They use energy-barrier material in their insulation, which reflects heat energy, instead of merely slowing down its absorption. Wolter said, “Think of insulation like a sponge. Eventually, a sponge gets saturated and can’t soak anything else in. Insulation is the same way, it blocks for a while, then gets full and doesn’t do any good. If you can reflect that energy off of it, the insulation works better for a longer period of time. That’s what the energy-barrier material does.” What do you think pollutes the most? A plane? A train? A car? Or, a house? “Most people think it’s a car, but it’s your house,” Wolter said. “Your house pollutes the environment more than anything else. If we can improve the efficiency of a home, then we also reduce the carbon footprint, which of course

is good for everybody… Good for the pocketbook, good for the consumer, and good for the value of the home.” Wolter said his greatest desire is to serve his customers well, and make sure they make a wise decision that’s the best fit for them. He recommends only making the energy-efficient upgrades if it makes financial sense to do so. “We want to make sure we take care of our customers, and that they get a good value,” Wolter said, “We’re not perfect, but we are pretty darn good.” Community Builders, Inc. has a heart for helping locally and internationally. Overseas, they’ve built a school in Peru, where they feed children every day and a chapel in Thailand, where they help rescue children out of human trafficking. In addition, they help support Habitat for Humanity, as well as food banks in Bulgaria and Macedonia. Contact Community Builders to find out more about energy-saving options for your home.

The Cabinetry Auth Premium Cabinets Austin Gullic will show you how to create the right kitchen cabinetry without sacrificing style and functionality.

BY CHRISTY STEPHENS

hen planning your kitchen or bath remodel, one of the most important considerations is to know exactly what you want. That’s mainly because that decision affects the entire flow of your project. When you don’t know exactly what you want you will drive contractors crazy, drain time and increase expenses. Premium Cabinets of Tulsa, are here to help you with undoubtedly the most important part of your kitchen remodeling decision – the cabinetry. Properly designed cabinetry is key to the overall function of your kitchen. As a family owned and operated business, they specialize in helping both individuals and contractors with all-wood cabinetry at the best value, without cutting corners. They feature the latest styles, colors, and hardware

for your design specifications. Specializing in high quality cabinet replacement, Premium Cabinets of Tulsa always goes the extra mile to ensure that they are fully connecting with their customers to obtain the desired results, whether it is to update the interior presence of their home, increasing storage space, supplying a more maneuverable room, or a combination of these needs. And once individuals have decided on renovation, timeliness is always a factor. “Every project does indeed have a different timeline; our access to materials is actually greater than most; we’re still very well stocked in materials we need to complete the job,” says Austin Gullic, owner of Premium Cabinets of Tulsa. “Turnaround time used to be four to six weeks from

initial inquiry to delivery; now it’s closer to eight to 12 weeks, although that is not a specific, as every order is different. Demand is at an all-time high. We’ve seen other companies be as far as 28 weeks out, on average, and we are able to deliver product ahead of our competitors.” Owner Austin Gullic established his company with his father in 2010 and has steadily earned a solid reputation of reliability and quality product and work. Many choices of wood cabinetry styles and color schemes are available to choose from and find just the right look to achieve the new appearance of your home. To further aid in this goal, Premium Cabinets offers a free 3D design tour, giving customers an immediate visual of their desired project outcome. “We’re actually one of the first people

hority to allow virtual reality,” states Gullic. “People can put on an oculus and walk through a full size, 3D version of their kitchen. “It’s very exciting as the technology grows, for people that are visual. It’s hard to see your own space objectively as you have used it through time. The 3D helps clarify what we believe is a good idea versus what actually fits the space.” One of the greatest advantages of any company is the love of the business that the owner has for his design and construction. “I love taking people’s ideas and creating something that is real, that is what they consider reality altering,” Gullic emphasized. “I love helping clients create that dream; and making it come true.”

Photographers can take photos that purposely plan where the viewers’ eyes move. One way to do that is to use a technique called leading lines. Use an element that provides a line – a railroad track, a path, a road or a fence line – to guide the viewers’ eyes to the focal point.

A lady named Ellen encouraged clients to come to me, and they did – I still have clients who have been coming to me since. I’ve been very blessed to have the people in my life that I do.

She will also impart advice to those who need guidance on what types of treatments will be best for their individual necessities and desires. “Sometimes people aren’t sure of exactly what they want or need…some have great nails and just need to be told not to use them as tools! I always recommend an oil treatment on the nails. Shellac are colors you pick, used with a light, and lasts up to fourteen days.” Edmonds uses CND Shellac, a product that causes no nail damage, has zero dry time, and supplies a quality high gloss shine. As with any career, an enjoyable workplace makes a significant difference in the work itself. Edmonds states that her experience at Reveal has been very pleasing indeed. “We’re a close family with our clients – I actually don’t like

High School Hall of Fame are selected by the Will Rogers High School Community Foundation and honored with a display in the hallways of the school. The new honorees were selected and scheduled for induction in spring of 2020, with people coming from across the nation to the celebration in Tulsa. However, the COVID 19 pandemic forced cancellation of the event, and then a second cancellation with the next pandemic wave. But the Foundation wouldn’t give up. This year’s selections, Finch, Frazier, Paul, Marcum, Woods, and Yager, will be formally inducted with a ceremony that is free and open to the public in the auditorium of the beautiful art deco school at 9:15 a.m. on March 25, 2022. They’ll also be honored at a gala dinner on the evening of March 26 at the Doubletree Hotel Downtown, with tickets on sale through the Will Rogers High School Community Foundation website, www. willrogersfoundation.net

Will Rogers College Junior High and High School is a select magnet school that allows students to take college classes and graduate with both a diploma and college credit. The Will Rogers High School Community Foundation is an all-volunteer non-profit charity funded primarily by donations. It helps provide essential and exceptional educational and extracurricular experiences for Will Rogers students, and empowers their teachers, families, and the community. According to Board Chairman Paul Thomas, “Through the Hall of Fame, the Foundation’s goal is to preserve the history of this Tulsa landmark school, and provide inspiration so today’s students can continue to participate in and add to the legacy of Will Rogers High School.” Working with the principal, Nicolette Dennis, the Foundation has raised over 1.5 million dollars, which is used to provide academic grants and other support for academics, arts, athletics,

activities and administration. The Foundation funds such necessities as classroom projects, software, student trips, and science, music, and art equipment. With such support, there’s a waiting list to enroll in Tulsa Will Rogers, and the Foundation continues to promote “Will on the Hill” as Tulsa’s school of choice. Past Hall of Fame luminaries include NBA and NFL athletes, a Broadway actress, groundbreaking medical researchers, and educational leaders, along with State Senator and former TU Head Football Coach David Rader, and Rodger Randle, former Tulsa Mayor and President Pro Tempore of the State Senate, who currently serves as the Chairman of the Will Rogers High School Hall of Fame Committee.

Pocahontas Club Brings Annual Old-F Picnic Back to the Will Rogers Birthp BY TOM FINK

n America, there are few things more traditional than the family picnic. This May, the members of the Indian Women’s Pocahontas Club are bringing back one of their own traditions with the annual “Old Fashioned Picnic” in northeast Oklahoma – and the public is invited. “The (Old Fashioned) picnic is an event that’s been happening ever since the Pocahontas Club was founded in 1899, when picnics were the social gatherings of the day,” said Ollie Starr, longtime Pocahontas Club member. “As our club members are caretakers of the (Cherokee) culture, heritage and communities, we’ve continued to have this picnic every year, as it’s become one of our many traditions.” Left: (L-R) Secretary Linda Coleman, Vice President Monta Ewing, President Celeste Tillery
