What I Bought At the Flea

I went to the flea market over the weekend and had great success! I found lots of spring dresses, a few sweaters and blouses, leather purses, the prettiest old watches to make necklaces out of and some random jewelry and parts.  Shopping is the best part of my job!

 

 

Making Room For What Matters

I'm still cleaning house around here and I have a feeling I will be for awhile.  I listed 8 lots on Ebay thus far and hopefully will put up more next week.  My car stereo got stolen for the second time in one year, which has really made me think about what is important.  If only I had the self discipline to take the face off the darn thing every time I got out of the car!  My life is so cluttered with things, and things are not what life is about.  It is time to clear out some of these things, so I can see what I really have.   Anyway, if you are interested in seeing what I am selling, click here to view my auctions.  Hey, maybe I'll even put some clothes on there rather than taking them to Buffalo, I might get more for them.

Pretty dresses coming soon...

I wanted to share a few items that are coming soon (in the next day or two) to the online shop.  I'm really excited about this 50's tulle wedding dress in the first photo!  Also, some other lovely 

summery dresses! Let me know if there is just something you can't wait a few days for.

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!
