White Rock-area residents Jeremy Turner and wife Kelsey last year opened the Vintagemobile for a seasonal shopping experience involving thousands of tacky holiday sweaters. This season they ostensibly are going with the more-straightforward moniker Ugly Christmas Sweater Shop. Find them in Mockingbird Commons at Mockingbird and Abrams, in the White Rock/East Dallas area.
The store is open today, but the grand opening is Saturday (Nov. 30) 11 a.m.-7 p.m. featuring photos with Santa from 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m.
Check out Turner’s site ChristmasSweaterLady.com for ugly sweater fodder such as top-10 ugliest sweaters, and sweaters by categories, including “kitty kristmas”.
Contributor Rachel Stone noted a couple of years ago that ugly Christmas-sweater parties had become all the rage in holiday entertaining, and the ugliest were disappearing from thrift-store shelves.
Thanks to these neighborhood heroes, no one will want for a Snoopy Santa sweatshirt, puffy painted snowman with kittens or Bill Cosby-style vest again. They have your tacky sweater needs covered.
