Sweet Salvage was sweet summer fun!

Here are some pictures from this month's Sweet Salvage on 7th event -- Summer Lovin'.  And it was full of wonderful items and reminders of summers long ago in our younger days!  Check it out!

What a wonderful repurposed cupboard this is!  And I love the yellow daisy accent!  Really pops!

June is for weddings!  And this gorgeous vintage wedding gown was reminiscent of weddings long ago!  Beautiful!  David and I got married in August of 1968 after we did our graduate work at University of California San Jose. 

This small chandelier was so pretty with its beaded shades!

This tray full of summer collectibles was just gorgeous!

Glittery starfish, pearls, shell necklaces, driftwood, and a glass flower frog.

Another gorgeous display with a lovely chandelier, half dress form, shabby chair, and other bits.

Had to include this little fire truck full of impatiens and named "Jewell" for my friend, Kelly, who recently moved to Utah.  Thought of you immediately, Kelly!!

Here is a surf board (!!), a sail boat for the lake or pond, a gorgeous mirror and more shells.  I grew up in So. California during the day when surfing was THE thing to do during the summer!  Beach Boys songs, Jan and Dean, and trips to the beach.  I didn't learn to surf, however.  Can't swim well enough to get out there beyond the waves and wait for the next set!


The Sweet team put on another great Sweet Salvage on 7th monthly event!  Thanks to all!!  It was awesome!

The weekend adventure

My friend, Gail, and I attended the grand opening of Sweet Salvage on 7th in Phoenix.  It was wonderful!  Kim and her bevy of wonderful and talented helpers and organizers did a great job.  Everyone was raving about it.  Kim and Katie were on TV to talk about it.  In all it was a great success.  Here are some highlights of our trip to Sweet Salvage:

Believe it or not, Gail and I did not plan to wear black and white tops on Thursday!

This was at the entrance to the shop.  Love the glass topped table, pillows, cherub and crystal chandelier.

Loved this bed!  See the curtains behind it and the great torn strip valence!  I bought two of the curtain panels for my bedroom bay window.  Can't wait to get them up!  Note the tumbleweed in the iron pot next to the bed.  Got to get a tumbleweed!  When it gets cooler!

I love this lamp shade and that great tiered display piece!  Wonderful old dresser, too.

There were several peacocks around in the shop.  And the aqua/peacock blue color was abundant.  Also a lot of peacock feathers.  Love that cupboard!

Some seashore collections and more aqua blue.  Cute, cute chair!

This looks like a summer collection from the seashore.  I love these huge glass containers!  I have several in my booth at Merchant Square and they hold tags, rolled music pages, and pearls.  More will be coming to my booth soon.  Pictures to come later!

Another wonderful display of white cups and saucers and ironstone pitchers.  Small vintage price cards were everywhere along with school word cards in English and French!  See the old shoe brush on top of the suitcase?  I have several that will appear in my booth soon.  They make great picture holders.

This was a great experience and a very successful one!  Thanks Kim and ladies!  Can't wait to see you next month -- Sept. 15-18!!  Gail and I will be there!
