Sweet Salvage Now Showing Part Two

Hope you enjoyed Part one of the July Sweet Salvage Now Showing.  There were too many photos to put them in one post so, grab a cup of coffee and enjoy a few more vignettes.

There were a lot of letters, but loved this one at the checkout spelling out Film.

I love the theater seats with the subway art.

I don't think Hollywood has a subway system, but perhaps it's for the Streetcar Named Desire?

Loved the bags!  Perhaps the crown is for The King and I?

Someone must be working 9 to 5 on this old typewriter.  It's a bit like the one I showed you here

Musical score pillow could be for many films!

Each of these drawers was marked with a stars name.  Wonder what happened to the G that should be between the two M's  Could that car be Christine?

Ah, Norma Jean/Marilyn!

There had to be this famous photo!  Sorry about the glare of the glass!

This was one of my favorite pieces.

Loved the #2 Laundry basket.  Wait, I used to have a basket chest like the one behind it.  Where did they find that?

This Gingerbread work is far to pretty to have come from the Bates House, isn't it?

Adore this chair!

This sofa is giving me ideas for reupholstering our living room sofa.  Isn't it lovely?

A silk quilt!  Wow!

There was ticking at Tiffany's?

And more ticking on this chair.

A lovely old street sign.

Love the garden statue with the fan and pearls.

This was actually the first thing I saw when I walked in the door and the last thing when I left.

I wanted to take it all home!  Les Fleurs.

Thank you Sweet Salvage for a lovely time!  See you next month for cake!

Hope you enjoyed a visit with me to Sweet Salvage.  Next time, plan to go with me -- we'd have a great time!

Have a marvelous day, friends!

Sweet Salvage Now Showing

Friends, seriously, if you are in the Phoenix area, you must experience this unique shop!  Last month Diane and I went and had a great time.  See the photos here and here. They are only open 4 days a month and spend the rest of the time replenishing their stock. How cool is that!

The monthly theme this month was Now Showing -- a movie theme.  From the moment I walked in the door music from various movies filled the air!  If their were room, how could you not want to move to the beat of "Working 9 to 5"?  Each vignette was either from a specific movie or filled with items that were movie related.  It was a trip down memory lane even if I had seen the movies long after they were filmed.

It was a sweet day!

Who were the members of the Rat Pack?

I'm not much of a movie buff and rarely see movies, but grew up watching old movies so am probably as familiar with the Rat Pack as the Brat Pack. Thanks to our daughter I probably saw  Sixteen Candles and Breakfast club a hundred times!

Who wouldn't want to have "Breakfast at Tiffany's"

Many stars dreamed big!

A log of small towns, at least in the Midwest, had free movie night in a parking lot.  What fun those were!  Old, movies, but as a kid, it was a lot of fun!

Birds in a cloche.  Why didn't Hitchcock think of that as a way to confine those Birds? (Love the idea of the chicken wire on the cloche!)

For this one you had to supply your own birds!

This bride could not runaway!

This chicken wire cloche held parchments paper, hmmm, what movie would that be?

Love the cow tray - a little boeuf bourguignon, anyone?

Perhaps a Croissant under glass?

Lots of French cooking tools for Julie Julia!  You did guess, didn't you?

I missed taking a photo of the big white rabbit, but he had lots of reminders he was late!

More reminders!  There was the mad hatters hat, too, but it's with the rabbit - no photo!

I think I need to make another clock pillow!

A favorite book with several film versions.  I have her keys -- seriously that's what I bought -- big keys!

Where has the time gone?  Was it really 1975?

I love these bags!  They do remind me of one of our daughter's 6th birthdays.  I made little bags for each guest and put money and candy bars in them before we headed to the movies for the first part of the party.  They loved buying their own drink to go with the candy.

Of course they loved the chocolat! 

Love the chicken crate, but don't be chicken.  this is what the checkout line looked like -- I spent an hour in it before heading to my car which was parked in a vacant lot behind Sweet Salvage. 

See the shelves in the back?  That was the checkout.  It was a lot of fun listening to people talk about their purchases and seeing others hold onto theirs.  Mine were waiting for me under the number 06. I love their system of numbers on a lanyard to free up your hands while you shop.  I met other sweet shoppers as they asked questions about why I was photographing the vignettes.

It was a sweet place to be.  Hope to see you there next month sweet friends where the theme is "Let Them Eat Cake!"  It's Sweet Salvage's first birthday in August.

I do have more photos, so there will be a Sweet Salvage Now Showing part 2!

Until then,

xoxoXOXOxoxo,

NQA Show - North Market Experience

The view from my window each morning was really spectacular if you ignored the roof below.  The sky with the sun rising and the distant lights of cars heading to work made me want to start my day!

One of my favorite things to do during the NQA Show in Columbus, Ohio, is to visit the North Market.  Thursday was the only day I actually got outside the convention center as my friend, Diane, was leaving that day.  She stopped by the Registration Desk to say "Goodbye" just as I was going to get a lunch break.  We decided to walk a block over to the North Market.

It's always fun to walk in the older downtown areas of cities and observe the various architecture.  The dome on this Greek Orthodox church peeks between buildings and the ever present construction!

Just look at the wonderful brick detail on this old building.  I really wanted a chance to go out again to take photos just of the buildings around the Convention Center, but it never happened!

Ah, there it is!  Just look at the charm of this area!  This parking lot was full by the time we finished lunch a mere 20 or so minutes later!

Just Charming!

Inside are foods and other goods from around the world.

Feel like a little Indian cuisine?

How about some soup?  A salad or a sandwich?  It's in there!

Just look at the fresh produce.  Oh, how I wanted to take some of this back to the hotel!  I could have taken it in one of the wonderful French market baskets the shop also sold.

But, instead, I had a slice of goat cheese pizza.  It was delicious!  See the name?  I'm not sure what a Clever Crow has to do with pizza, but it's an interesting name.

All too soon Diane needed to leave for the airport and I needed to get back to work.

I had hoped to get back to North Market to take more photos and to stroll the downtown area taking more photos.  On Saturday I could have had time, but there was a parade on High Street and taking a stroll would not have worked at all.

If you ever get to the Convention Center in downtown Columbus, Ohio, you just must take in the North Market and experience the Old World Market experience there.

Hope you are having a terrific Tuesday!
