WONDERFUL weekend at UNIQUE LA

Well, it was a whirlwind of a weekend at the Unique LA Show.  I had an absolute blast and practically sold out the booth! It was wonderful to be surrounded by the tremendous talent and professionalism of the other vendors at the show. Thank you to everyone who came out, I really enjoyed sharing my vintage finds with you.  For those of you that don't live in the area or weren't able to make it, here are some photos to enjoy. 

There is about a week of shopping left to get your goods in time for Christmas and we will be having a sale in the online shop later this week, so be sure to sign up for our email list and follow on the blog and twitter to receive the coupon code!  All these opportunities are in the sidebar to the right.

 

Shop Salvage Life in LA this weekend!

Yesterday was a busy day setting up for the show.  I am SO excited for today and tomorrow!  It's just wonderful to meet my customers in person.  Hope you can, but if not or you live far away, watch out for a special post-show sale in our online shop next week! Have a fantastic weekend!

Block Party Show & Owls Galore!

We had a show over the weekend and it was a lot of fun.  Here's a few photos!

I recently came across an estate that had a large collection of owls, I just couldn't pass up these cuties!  We sold out of the little ones at the show.  Owls seem to be the trend that never ends, I wonder how long they will be popular?

 

Even Ruby was shopping, she got this adorable little scarf, which I bribed her to wear by offering her a chip if she let me put it on her.

My sister Amy helped me out at the show which was such I treat! It was so fun spending the day with her!

Patchwork Show Long Beach Spring 2010

I had a great time at the Patchwork Show in Long Beach over the weekend.  It's always nice to sell in my own city.  Since, I'm getting a little tired of showing plain pictures of my booth every time I do a show, I thought this time around I'd show a few photos of my customers.

 

This is Tiffany, our first customer...she looks so great in this bright floral number!

The lovely Castine is a faithful Salvage Life customer, she comes to every show!  She found this cute yellow dress in the $10 trunk. 

Shoot!  It got so busy I forgot to ask her name, but she was another vendor at the show and she looks wonderful in this dress. 

(If she is reading this or you know her, please let us know)

I guess the traveling fitting room is proving to be helpful and entertaining.  Be sure to attend our next show and try something on for a chance to win a $25 gift certificate!

Salvage Life Goodies

Salvage Life is going to be at the Handmade Brigade's Block Party in Santa Ana on July 10th.  One of the things that is great about the HB shows is if you are one of the first 50 people you will receive a goodie bag filled with freebies and promos from vendors and sponsors.  Each vendor donates 50 little goodies or samples so the bags are loaded up with some great stuff!  This time around I made a little Salvage Life ephemera pack, it includes: one library book card holder with Salvage Life stamp, one vintage photograph, one Salvage Life sticker and one business card.  Hope all you locals can make it!

Salvage Life at Patchwork Santa Ana Spring '10

We had a great time at the Santa Ana Patchwork Show.  It was HOT but luckily we had a tent over us.  The highlight of the show was definitely the new fitting room that my amazing husband made for me.  I got to see so many beauties try things on, something you don't see a lot of when you sell online.  It was a wonderful day, thank you to everyone who shopped with us!  We have two more shows coming up in Long Beach on June 27th and Santa Ana on July 10th, so save the dates!

Patchwork Show on Sunday!

Salvage Life will be at Patchwork Show in Santa Ana, CA this weekend.  I am really looking forward to the show!  I haven't put in a ton of extra work this time around because I am trying not to be a complete stress case like I usually am at shows.  I am just planning to bring what we have in the online shop as well as some new items and everything will be 25% off.  We will also have A TON of, it's actually really out of control, vintage in the $10 trunk. We'll be refilling it all day! Want to see photos from our booth at the last Patchwork Santa Ana, Click HERE.

Salvage Life at UniqueLA...

We had a great time at the show last weekend! Our booth was packed with shoppers the whole time. I quickly snapped these photos right before it started on Saturday morning. People wanted to shop, so these aren't the best, but if you couldn't make it, you can get an idea of what it was like. We had a lot of clothing from the online shop plus some new ones, lots of jewelry made from recycled vintage pieces, embellished vintage bags, bow tie headbands, sunglasses and the $10 trunk! Big thanks to my trusty helper Camille. :)
