It's a Beautiful Day...

Another kind customer sent these photos of her wedding day in South Africa.  Magdelena looks beautiful in her 1960's wedding dress with all over tiny pin tucks and crocheted lace. Her floral wreath headpiece is really great too!  Selling wedding dresses brings me a unique joy.  I love that I was able to provide the MOST important thing on someone's wedding day...no seriously, what you wear on your wedding day is very important.  It is so neat that modern brides want to wear something with history for their special day.  Not to mention, it is ridiculously cheaper to buy a vintage wedding dress! 

I just added two Gunne Sax wedding dresses to the shop and I have a beautiful wedding dress from 1915 and a long tulle wedding gown from the 1950's coming soon!

 

Sally Jane Vintage

Recently I have been making friends with some of the other wonderful online vintage sellers.  Someone was asking me the other day how I can be friends with the competition?  I explained to them that vintage is one of a kind, so we really aren't competing and we can appreciate the items that another seller has in their shop.  We connect on the plain fact that we think vintage is great and we all are trying to make a living selling what we love! This week Salvage Life has a little collaboration with Sally Jane Vintage, a great vintage blog that we sponsor.  We sent some of our favorite pieces from the shop to Jennifer of SJV and she sent us some lovely photos of her wearing them.  To see more beautiful photos, click over to Sally Jane Vintage.   If you are interested in purchasing any of the items shown you can find them here: yellow printed dress, blue printed dress, edwardian blouse, clay circle skirt.

Sneak preview of new items coming to the shop

 I have so much new inventory coming to the shop, here is a sneak preview of some of the vintage dresses I bought last week.  I took these photos at night, so they are a bit dim, but you should still be able to tell how great they are! Be sure to follow Salvage Life on Twitter to be updated when there are new items available in our online shop!
