French Marketplace at Sweet Salvage


 
The Sweet Salvage sale is going on again for the next 4 days. This month's show is one of my favorites to date!! The theme is French Marketplace.

 They had some gorgeous white bedding from my favorite line, Bella Notte.


 I adored this dresser. Unfortunately, I don't think hubby would understand getting rid of our perfectly good dresser to replace it with another. And check out those industrial cubbies above it!!

 There are shelves, and bookcases packed with lovely little treasures...

And fun pieces tucked away in every nook and cranny.

 Check out this French drying rack!! There were two of them there, and the other was huge!!!
I've seen these all over Pinterest! Betcha it finds a new home this weekend!

 Okay, seriously, my mouth dropped open when I saw this chair. I wanted it soooo badly! The apolstery was beautiful and the grain sack fabric was actually pretty soft. I cried when I had to walk away. :(

 One thing I can always count on is a wonderful selection of awesome chairs!!   If only I had more than one home.... Hmmm...I think I have a Pinterest board called that!

Another lovely chair, and some great burlap coffee sacks. I'll show what I did with mine in a few posts!!!



 They do the prettiest vignettes!!!

 And they always have lots of wonderful smalls, so you never have to leave empty handed!!!



 mmmmmmm.... Lace.

 I loved this area. The photos just don't do it justice. I want some cool industrial lights, unfortunately these were just too big.



Carolyn Westbrook was there for a book signing. How cool is that???

They always have stacks and stacks of yummy vintage suitcases.

and as always, some wonderful architectural pieces.  I look forward the sale every month and I am always inspired when I visit there. Next month is the Christmas show. Whoopee!!!

Wow, what an awesome place - my credit cards would have been screaming if I had been there :-) I did chuckle at the 'industrial cubbies' above the dresser - that's a nesting box for chickens (the wood in front is the perch), but they do make good cubbies when mounted on the wall :-)

Thanks for the gorgeous photos!

The most perfectly appointed shop on the planet. I wish I owned it! I too would have cried having to leave some of the furniture pieces behind!

Heidi said...

Oh my gosh, this place is heaven! I would love to find a place like this locally. Beautiful place.

Lorraine said...

The chairs - to die for! We just don't see these kind of treasures much. Be still my heart...
