Treasures that Inspire

I've only been blogging for a little over a month. My intentions are to meet people from all over and empower myself with technology. I hope to use my blog for personal use as well as promoting the start of my on line business. It seems to be working in both instances. I sold my sweet valentine tussie mussie over the weekend...and it's going to a customer on the west coast. I'm very pleased. I've also had a little make over on my blog. I love how it turned out. Karen @http://www.backgroundfairy.com/ did an amazing job. Thanks again Karen.

It's Trash to Treasure Tuesday and today I have this old window that a very talented friend of mine painted. We once rented space in the same shop. When I saw this window in her booth it was really calling my name. It became the inspiration in my...get this, bathroom. Yup, my husband says "we have more furniture in this bathroom then I had in my apartment". (the other pieces of furniture I'll save for another post). Poor guy, I push all this fluff & frou frou at him. He's really a great man. Thanks JIM! Well, my friend Nancy has since moved on. Her real love is her awesome prim/folk dolls, stop by and visit her she would love the company.http://ntdolls.blogspot.com/. Please make sure to visit Diane @ http://diane1876.blogspot.com/ for more trash to treasure tuesday.

Have a great day

NOTE*** I forgot that Diane would not be availabel today for Trash to Treasure Tuesday. Sorry. See you next Tuesday.

Blue Monday with thoughts of the Beach

Stop by Sally @ http://smilingsally.blogspot.com/ pay her a visit. She does a very nice job on Blue Monday. I think I've had just about enough of winter. How about everybody else? Are you dreaming of the warm sun on the sand? Here's a little visual. I call these vintage gals "Beach Ladies". I designed 8 others in different colors. I used ribbon, beads, vintage appliques & buttons along with the vintage graphics. The other ladies can be seen on my Etsy Cottage Style page. I have a button on my side bar if you feel like stopping by ECS. Thanks. May you have a blessed week and thank you for your visit.

Got PINK...it's the right choice

Joining Pink Saturday was the right choice. If it were oh, lets say RED Saturday I don't think I would have much to post. But PINK, I am well stocked. Although my family "sees" red sometimes. I push the PINK. Beverly @http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/ puts this all together. Stop by and pay her a visit. Today I have a few of my vintage figurines. The one in the middle was a lamp. I took it apart and thought I would rewire it but, I like it as it is. It's sort of a vase now. When I go thrifting/yard sale/treasure hunting it seems I find these even when I'm not really looking. I guess that's how the collection began. It's funny, these figurines where made WWII era they WERE the decor of the times. 60 -65 years later they still hold their own in decor. Well, it's been a long cold winter here in Jersey I'm ready to hit the flea markets. I still have a kitchen, bathroom & a bedroom on the list for redos come spring, more PINK...yes and I'm going to introduce the family to BLUE, AQUA and more PRETTY colors oh I just can't wait. Have a great week. Thank you for stopping .

Trash to Treasure...Cottage Chair

5 years ago I realized I needed a career change. I down sized my life as best as I could. I started a business redesigning, repurposing vintage, antiques and flea market treasures. Then Salvaged Sensations was born. I work part as a nurse and I'm growing the business. The on line counter part of Salvaged Sensations is Romance and Relics. Today trash to treasure is this redesigned vintage chair that was once sitting curb side. Very worn in it's other life, once I got it home and starting working on it I knew it would be a little accent chair for a porch. A little paint, ribbon, beads and flowers my "art" was coming together. The chair was missing the center of the seat. I had the hat from a previous adventure at the thrift store I think I paid $10.00 for it. I thought the hat belonged there on the chair. I glued it down added a few more flowers and the project was done. The trouble with the things I redesign I WANT THEM for myself once they are done. This chair didn't stay with me it did sell at my shop. I think the customer was pleased. Please visit Diane @http://diane1876.blogspot.com/ she is the host of this fun event. Thank you for stopping.

Blue Monday

This is my first Blue Monday post hosted by Sally @ http://smilingsally.blogspot.com/. I'm enjoying my new blogging experience.Blogging is new to me just one month into it .There's so much to see and do. There isn't enough time in one day to get to all the blogs. The newest group I've joined is Blue Monday and here is my pale blue tea cup. I found this very sweet very romantic cup minus a saucer at my favorite vintage shop. The rose is hand painted and there is such great detialing whats not to love. I think it was only $2.00. If I could spend all day searching for things like this I would. My husband and I are having a new master bedroom built in the spring. Guess what color I plan on designing the room in? Blue. I have many favorite colors this is one of them. I will have this little tea cup in our room. More to enjoy as the weeks go by. Thanks for stopping by.

Many blessings
