Sweet Salvage

I shall share with you my June Sweet Salvage finds, from what I think is the most charming all the way to my favorite!

A 1953 high school dance card. Look at the adorable little pencil that is still attached!

It reads, “North Phoenix High School, Girls’ League Blue, And Silver Ball, Saturday, November 14, 1953”

There is no indication of the name of the young lady who was holding this card, but it is obvious that Ronnie Spaulding was her beau. They danced together 8 of the 11 dances she danced. She was “too tired” to dance the sixth dance, titled the “Prize Waltz” so she sat that one out. And it looks as though she and Ronnie may have ducked out before the “extra” dances at the bottom of the card. Poor Jack Brown, Bill Carroll, and Barry Baker never had a chance!

A nifty faux bois (from the French for false wood) souvenir mug from Yellowstone Park.

Sweet embroidered tea towels.

I absolutely adore the applique “French maid cookbook” towel too!

Unique dinner and salad plates.  And now for my favorite and most unusual find…

This rusty old street sign was planted in a vintage Christmas tree stand. Now I have to figure out where to place it… in the backyard, for certain.

Somewhere on the corner of Shortcut and Hypoint Roads.

This is its current home. You may take Shortcut Rd. to the right and take a refreshing dip in the pool or take a left on Hypoint and have a seat on the shady patio. Hypoint is also the direction to take the long way to the pool and the swim-up bar. You’ll find me on Hypoint, sitting in the shade, I’ll be happy to serve you at the bar when you are ready for a tall cold one too.

You still have plenty of time to get over to Sweet Salvage and score your own unique finds! They are open today, tomorrow and Sunday.
