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!

Just a few things to share

I love pink roses! These days I have to buy them myself, but who cares? This bouquet was beautiful and fresh out of the shipping box at the store.

Two shades of pink. The four missing roses are in a vase in my bathroom.

Time for some changes in my booth again. Here I have gone to cowgirl chic?! Anyway, a huge square dance petticoat in purple, a brown ruffled skirt, a leather scarf with a wolf handpainted on it (I painted it many years ago), and a pink felt cowgirl hat. Now that's chic! And don't forget the boots! Plus two large suitcases perfect for storage! And they aren't expensive!

More sophisticated cowgirl chic in black! Love that skirt, lace shawl and blouse. There is a very pretty pearl choker necklace with a cameo at the neck. This dress form is for sale! So if you are looking for one, here it is!

Check out my booth at Merchant Square and see all the treasures that await you!
