Happy Second Anniversary, Sweet Salvage!

Sharing my favorite displays with all of you from the last two years of Sweet Salvage events.  Here goes:

Beautiful shabbiness and plenty of ruffles here.

Love the chandelier and all the goodies in there with it. 

This display and the one in the picture above it are by far my very special favorites!  Love the shutters, large bouquet, chairs, dresser, everything!!

Roses, shabby chic and vintage.

Ruffles and roses.

Give me a cloche with a good display any day.

Seashore collections and shabby white dresser.

Love this chandy in the box!  Another favorite.

Halloween loveliness!

Love the gray and white and draped curtains.

Pink cotton Christmas tree!

Love old cages with plenty to view inside!

Too sweet and full of vintage toys and goodies.

Another great cloche display with plenty inside to make you stop and look a while!

COLOR!!!

Always love a great wall display of frames.

Cameras, fans, and plenty of great guy stuff, too!

Love this basket full of pretty pink roses!

These are just a few of the many pictures I took.  I had loads of favorites but just couldn't put all of them here!  Come back and visit later in the week to see what I picked this week at Sweet Salvage's second anniversary event!  See you there!

Two years ago Sweet Salvage debuted in Phoenix!

And it was an instant hit!  My BF Gail and I have attended every one of the events!

We didn't plan to wear black and white tops.  It just happened!

We ran into plenty of friends!  Maureen and Nina!

Tricia Samsal of Vintage Bliss.

I remember this fab bedroom!  I bought some of those curtains hanging in the background!

Loved the girly stuff!

 French, aqua and shabby white cabinet! 

Plenty to see everywhere!  Up, down under, behind, in the middle.  You have to look everywhere!

 Cupboards stuffed with wonderfullness!!

 Everyday things everywhere but in such cool displays!

 Plenty of French influence and shabby chic!  It was wonderful!

As I remember, it was hot!  Mr. Sweet Jim was handing out iced water bottles.  There were wonders and treasures to behold in every nook and cranny.  As you can see, I didn't take many pictures.  Too busy looking around and enjoying all the eye candy!  Nowadays I take tons of pics and post them on my Facebook page as well as blogging about my favorite ones and what I found.

Gail and I are planning to go again this coming Thursday to celebrate the second year of success for Sweet Salvage on 7th!  Thanks to Kim Rawlins, Katie Cryer and the entire Sweet Team (past and present) who have made each event memorable and filled with wonders and great finds!

Sweet Salvage Summer Lovin! -- June 2013

The Sweet Team put together another Sweet Salvage event called Summer Lovin'.  I have some favorites among the many pictures I took and here they are!

Love this gray table backed by a window and blue shutters.  Those urns were fabulous!  And think what you could do with holiday decorations in those!

 This gray cupboard is really nice.  I should have snagged it!  Nice display piece!!

 Nice glass decanters backed by an American flag.  Pretty nice!

Loved three things in this display.  The cloche on the plateau with a small scale on an old book.  The industrial bulb cage.  And the lamp made out of old pipe fittings!

Another great lamp made from old pipe fittings!  How cool!

 Another favorite is this cabinet of curiosities!  You could stand there quite a while and not see everything in that cabinet!

 I bought one of these industrial storage drawer sets.

Am going to create one of these for my booth soon!  This is way cool!  Love it!

 Love all this wonderful crochet cotton and string in this wire basket.

Rusty the Dog!  He was a hit and sold quickly!!  How stinkin' cute!!

The printer's trays, old books, boxes, etc. make for a great curiosity display!

Neat, neat 8 drawer wood chest in a great color!  The enamel bucket is good and rusty!  And that candelabra is way cool, too!

Another great event at Sweet Salvage this month.  Next event will begin on July 18 through July 21!!  Looking forward to it already!!  Thanks to Kim Rawlins, Katie Cryer Hibbs and the Sweet Team!  You did good!!

Sweet Salvage -- Sweet Retreats in May

Another successful event for Sweet Salvage on 7th this month.  The theme was Sweet Retreats.  And one could certainly find many lovely things to put in their own "sweet retreats".  Here are some of my favorite displays from this months Sweet event.

Love the picture of the swans on the lake and the bird cages.

Great easy chair with summer reading on the table next to it!

This is just beautiful!  A sea fan mounted on linen and put in an antique oval frame with curved glass.

This chandelier shows some serious "thinking outside the box".  That's what makes it so special!

Tucked in a tiny corner was this "SEA" display.  The ladder with the plants would work on patio.

My favorite chair and ottoman.  They are sold and going to live with someone with great taste!

Another great "SEA" display with glittery starfish and antlers!

A simple, yet effective, display under a cloche.

Summer reading!  Love those bookmarks.  I did make some of those long ago.  Think I will be making more!

This display is awesome!  I love all the frames, mirrors and prints on the wall.

 Such a pretty shabby chic display! 

Close ups of the shabby chic display . . . .

This month's Sweet Salvage event didn't disappoint!  It was beautiful!  For more pictures of many other items there this month, visit my Facebook page!  I posted three albums full of these and many other pictures!  Many thanks to the Sweet Team for another great Sweet Salvage event.
