TikTok Creator Drives 5 Hours to Visit East Texas Antique Stores

All Texans know at this point that social media can be both positive and negative. It’s wonderful for sharing ideas, tips, and tricks, and it can also become a platform for people to share their favorite things like a recent TikTok video I stumbled upon showing that people are now traveling hours to visit East Texas for a specific reason: antique and thrift stores.

While I realize this isn’t much of a shock to people here in East Texas it’s more of a reminder of how great things are here, and a reminder to check out all the great local shops we have around us.

In the video below you see one TikTok creator (@thecabinista), talking about how she drove five hours to not only see her grandmother but also visit her favorite antique store.

The video is such a great reminder to not overlook the shops that we see on a regular basis, especially these antique and thrift shops that have new items arriving daily.

While I am not the biggest fan of spending my weekend visiting antique stores, I live by the saying, “happy wife, happy life.” So, I can attest to the fact that East Texas has some wonderful antique shops not only in Tyler but I’ve seen great shops in Mineola, Gladewater, Flint, and Coffee City.
