Over the Labor Day weekend I took a little road trip. My destination was a family event, however, my route was determined by the semi-annual 50% off sale at this national consignment chain. I visited three, in two states, during a four hour time period. You ask how I find that stuff? THAT is how. All in all a good day except when a staff member at the last one absconded with my basket full of stuff thinking it was abandoned! (Dude, I was just trying to look through the dresses with two hands!) A helpful manager hooked me up with a miracle worker employee who found it out back, ready to be emptied. You might think I am overreacting, but, if you know what a 1970's DVF Wrap is, you know I am NOT! (If you do not know what that is, look for my post tomorrow). Along the route I spied this drive-in diner, which, according to a sign out front is under renovations to reopen. I hope the food is good, but, being the visual person that I am, I sincerely hope they keep that sign!
A little later in my trip, I stopped by to visit the girls at Salvage Chic in Pembroke, Massachusetts. In the spirit of gratefulness for the blog post from uber-style-maven Eyeliah at Style Symmetry, I wish to "play it forward" and post a few pics from the Salvage Chic shop.
Seeing this vintage fridge chock-a-full with vintage goodies is reason alone to make the trip!
Now, you might be saying to yourself "Why is she posting all these pics of tantalizing vintage goodness? I live halfway across the country and this is doing nothing but make me drool uselessly all over my keyboard." Well, I have good news! Christine and Claudia, proprietors of Salvage Chic, heros of the hunt, divas of dumpster-diving and masters of merchandising each have their own Etsy shops full of vintage-y goodness!
You can find them here at Salvage Chic Antiques and here at 23 Burton Avenue.
Oh, and you really should check out the wicked pen (or keyboard, I suppose) of the shop's blog. It is guaranteed to have you LOL and ROFL and any other "L"s you can think of!
