SWEET SALVAGE ON 7th - SUMMER LUVIN' VINTAGE FINDS

Today is the first day of summer - as well as the longest day of the year. It's also Day 2 of the local monthly vintage pop-up market called Sweet Salvage! I first learned about this pop-up vintage market last year wile learning my way around Phoenix and so glad I did! What a delightful treat of inspirational vignettes, vintage deals and unique visual merchandising. Each month, the Sweet Salvage team re-merchandises the shop with a fresh assortment of vintage finds, based on a theme. Last month was Sweet Retreats and this month is perfectly titled - Summer Luvin'. Local designer & Blogger Jamie Rose wrangled the crowds and line Thursday for the pop-up shop opening -  Last month, I scouted finds for local designer Kurt Miller who's doing a Shabby Chic project. This weekend I'm setting out again to see what gems I find, plus share the local love on Facebook and Twitter. Here is a peek at this month's Summer Luvin', plus a look back at a few other sweet installments...

Around Town & Online: Shop Ultimate Consignment

I'm still learning my way around here in Arizona, and while out the other day I discovered a new and incredible playground of finds called Ultimate Consignment.  The first store opened in Downtown Phoenix back in July 2012 (I need to go check it out!) but I stumbled upon their new location in Mesa Arizona. What an incredible assortment of consigned goods from high to low, vintage to antiques, sporting goods to tools, appliances to electronics, dishes to area rugs and lamps to artwork - reasonably priced too. I found four vintage chairs in good condition for only $34.97. The even better plus about this shop - Ultimate Consignment is available ON LINE, for anyone to shop from wherever you are. Along with a helpful staff, they have a unique system: No prices are on the items. Instead of prices,  every item is tagged with a sku and kiosks are set up around the store for price inquiries. Kiosks have a basket of pens + tear sheets to help you while you shop. To help find the kiosks, the store has their logo of the loop arrow high above each kiosk, which lists the item info + additional photos of the item. You can watch a virtual tour of the Phoenix store (think of it as  Craigslist warehouse!!) at YouTube here:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yju5UOKbJsc

Nate Berkus and His New Fabric Line at Calico Corners

Along with a new line of bed, bath & decor accents for Target, Nate Berkus recently launched a great collaboration for a fabric line at Calico Corners. He has so many inspiring prints to chose from, on display at the entrance of Calico Corners. While at my local Calico Corners (in Scottsdale) I asked if by chance Nate might make a personal appearance + book signing at the shop -- Although they said no, I am hopeful (hint hint Nate!) With so many pretty patterns from Nate's line to chose from, Calico featured a great way to display them in your home: Use fabric samples as book covers! If you don't want to cover any of your existing or old books, you can definitely thrift for old books to cover... and add a little pattern to you book shelf style. Another great way to display your fave Nate Berkus fabric samples is to frame them for wall art (see my previous Framed Fabric Wall Art post) Here's a peek around Calico Corners, here in Scottsdale plus a chance to WIN a copy of Nate's book!

Cover old books with your fave new Nate fabrics!

 

 

 

 

Great pattern to recover a pair of slipper chairs!

While at Calico Corners, check out some of their other wonderful fabric choices, including Thom Filicia and Ralph Lauren plus many others...

 

Love the mix of maze, stripes and Ikat patterns in grey + gold...

 

 

Store display

And be sure to visit Calico Corners (even online) to enter for a chance to win a copy of Nate's new book, Things That Matter. Recently, Nate revealed himself in a two part interview about the book & his life on Oprah's show, Super Soul Sunday...

 

Enter here: Calico Corners Things That Matter book Give-away
