SWEET SALVAGE - Sweet Flea

Today, I went to SWEET SALVAGE
with my buddy, Dawn...


Sweet Salvage is open ONLY
four days a month
 {third Thursday - Sunday}...

They feature a different theme each month,
so it's completely changed out every month.

This month, the theme was:
"Sweet Flea..."
 
You can see all of the fans
waiting in line to get inside...

The line wraps around the building.

Me and Dawn waiting in line...

Dawn makes a new friend in line...

Love this French-style chair!

Pretty displays!

Lots of vintage treasures!

Love it all!

Lots of shoppers!

Pretty!

So many things to see...

Way cool industrial sign!

Yes, that is Tim Holtz!
He was checking out Sweet Salvage...

I don't think anyone there recognized him...
He's like a rock star in the world of
Paper Crafting and Mixed Media...
LOL!
He let me take his photo...

Who wouldn't love a stack
of old suitcases? ♥

Pretty displays everywhere!

Ho, ho, ho!!!

Sweet Salvage groupies! LOL!
Gail, Dawn, and Judy...

Hope you enjoyed the visit,
it's almost like you were there!

Thanks for stopping by!!! ;)

      He used to work at Ben Franklin's Crafts up in Prescott, AZ before he became well-known.

  8. OH NO! NOT AGAIN.... It's really not fair that you show us all these fab goodies. Remember, some of us are located thousands of miles away without any chance of ever getting close to these branches of Paradise.
    Just kidding (in envy) - It looks fantastic, and you are so lucky having places like this close to you.

    XOXO & A Very Merry Christmas
