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!

Some new items added to my booth.

Spent several hours today working in my booth to add new items and redo some displays.  Here are some of the things I have added today.

I found this darling hen with chicks last week along with the small two-drawer chest she sits on.  The two black boxes on the left are really nice cigar boxes.  Great to add your own artwork to the lids and inside.

Here's the little angel I shared with you last week along with a nice storage trunk I found.

I was so tempted to keep the Paris subway banner, but I don't really have any place here at home to put it.  But it is nice!

Here are two gorgeous cigar boxes.  The one on top unlatches from the side and two pieces of the lid open up.  Great graphics!  Nice storage box!  The one underneath still has the cigar trays inside.  They would make it easy to store necklaces.  Check out the pictures of the inside of these boxes on my Judy B's Shabby Chic Facebook page here.  Click on the first picture then continue clicking on the pics to see all of the photos I added today.

This is a wonderful blue gray 6-drawer metal cabinet.  Great for storage or plants!

This is one of the better vintage children's watercolor sets I have seen.  It was made in England and has great graphics.  No dents but some scuffing on the lid.  Check the inside!

Most of these colors have not been used!!  The original brush, however, has no bristles.  You would have to buy a new watercolor brush.  But what summer fun!!  Underneath this paintbox in the aqua tote is a small book on painting with watercolors, a bundle of three small paintbrushes perfect for watercolors, and two packages of watercolor paper. The watercolor paper is substantial enough to be painted on one side and addressed and stamped like a postcard on the other.  Share the summer fun with family or friends!!!
