Ladies Shopping Nite

Good Morning,
Last night I attended an interesting way to shop.  My Friends Debbie and Heather, set up a boutique in Heather's house.  She had 4 or 5 Vendors set up in her down stairs area.  It helps that she is packing up to move so not much was there.  She served wine, snacks and treats too.  She had originally wanted to set it up outside, but the weather here has been so hot( 90 at 7:30) that it just didn't work out.  I got some great deals, had some yummy cupcakes and good quality girl time.

Here is where the video should be...

I would love to show you the video I took on my phone, but sadly, Im technologically challenged and can't figure it out...I will eventually get my poor brain wrapped around this concept...lol   Someday-

This may be the next new wave of shopping.   There are all kinds of people having have home parties, why not have one like this too.  I think I will be working on this...I'll keep you posted...

Have a wonderful weekend,
Until next time,
Deb

Salvage Chicks & Co.

Please post a comment to let us know how we are doing!

Hello,
Well it seems I finally have the new computer up and running properly, the page has been cleaned up and updated.  Just need a new picture.  I hope to get myself back on track.  This running by the seat of your pants thing is too much...I must be getting old... ha ha...

I'm sad to see summer winding down, seems like it just got here.  Although I could do without the extreme heat we have been having this last week.  We usually get a heatwave or two, around this time. But for some reason it seems a little hotter than normal...114 is pretty hot for here.  Can't get any painting done this week, tried last week and the paint dried so fast it cracked...now its just scrap!

I have new patterns started, one Christmas and one Fall, both samples are done they are just waiting for me to write up the instructions...This week I'm on a mission...and that is to get it done...no more excuses.



My Sister and I, during all of this down time between posts, have decided to start a new company.  We are specializing in Restoring, Re-purposing, and Reusing old items and making them new again.  My Bird Feeders fit right in to this point of view...We are calling our business Salvage Chicks & Co.  We have a blog, etsy account, and Facebook page.  So far the Facebook page is the only one getting attention for now.  We are selling at the Ivy Street Marketplace in Murrieta, CA.  Its the Cottage Charm Antique store on the corner.  Kelly and her family are so nice and its a really nice little market.  Last Month was our debut, so we didn't have everything we wanted to have, but Sept is coming and by then we should have more goodies. The Market runs the first Sat of every month from 9-3.  If you are in the neighborhood please stop by.  Here are a few pics plus our logo.

This our spot at the market and that chair over there is one my sister re finished, the sign is mine from recycled wood.

We are on Facebook, check us out and like us. We also have a blog, nothing on it yet, but we have one, the address is salvagechicksnco.blogspot.com, also an etsy account, nothing on there either, but the address is salvagechicksnco.etsy.com.  We hope to have things posted this week. Thank you so much for sticking around...means so much!

I am still creating my Patterns and  hope to be able to incorporate both point of views into one... I don't think I could ever give up sewing.  I think that's why I can't just pick one thing to do. I love it all.

Well enough for now, I have faxes to send and lunch to eat.

I hope you are all having a wonderful day, and enjoy the last days of summer...I will talk to you all soon
Be Well and Be Blessed!

Well I guess its been longer that April...

I have been suffering from Christmas burn out...I decided to take a week off in March to get caught up with some things around the home front...well that was about 2 months ago...I feel better and now I'm back creating things just not as fast...

I am not a show person, found that out the hard way.  I love to do the more personal Farmers Markets or little boutiques.  The large shows are for the more hard core...I give them all the respect and kudos!  They have earned it...

I know I mentioned the Create and Decorate magazine.  More details, I submitted the design, and they accepted me, I was thrilled!  It was a long process but worth it!  I was in the March/April issue. It was my Bluebird Candle Mat.    I was so good about not saying anything about it, as I didn't want to jinx it...that I really forgot all about it! lol
Then when it came out, I had a renewed sense of excitement and I told everyone...so much that I felt like I was bragging...! It was kinda cool being published!  I hope to do more, I just wish I could stitch as fast as my brain comes up with ideas! Look for listing on Etsy towards the end of the month.

New business...
This is my Daughters last year of High School and it was a total blur...as I am writing this we just celebrated her Graduation last night...had a party with our dear family and friends...it was wonderful to spend time with them.  I truly have the best of friends!  We tried to have a more healthy fair, but of course my Dad complained that there weren't any BBQ beans...sorry Daddy, next time...too much sugar! 

Everything else is going well, I hope to have a new computer soon so I can change the format of this blog...I don't want to do too much on here otherwise the computer will freeze...

As usual Time is marching on with out me again, I feel like I'm still in March...not heading into June...my least favorite month of all...

I hope to be on here again soon, I am the blog I despise...the infrequent blogger... That sounds like a good title...lol  
Hope you are all Happy and Well, take care and enjoy you weekend!

Thanks for stopping by, God Bless!
Deb

My deepest apologies...

I'm so sorry to have left you all with the November post...

My computer has been giving me fits so I have been keeping off of it, mostly so I don't toss it out the window!
I will have my new computer this month, I hope!

I have lots to tell you and new patterns too...
If you get a chance to check it out, I was honored by being published in the March/April issue of Create and Decorate.  I designed the Blue Bird Candle Mat...My very first time!  I was/still am super excited about it!

Anyway, Just wanted to let you know, I am still here...Just having computer issues, surprised I have gotten this far without any problems...!
I hope to be up and running properly soon!

Hope all is well with you,
Take good care & be blessed!

Thanks again for following me!
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Happy Valentines Day and Happy St Patricks Day!

I think this will be my last show until March!  Loads of new stuff coming then...stay tuned for that!  I will however, be working on the two stores filling it for the Holidays!  You know the first one, in Murrieta, the Red Thread, and we will also be in a nursery off the 15 fwy, Myrtle Creek Nursery in FallBrook...great place...  I will keep you posted...

A new look...

Good Morning!I have been working on my blog this morning, I have been wanting to personalize my spot ever since I started this thing. But, I have to limit my self in front of the computer, otherwise I will never get anything made!  This is a picture of my front porch, I love my rusty table and chairs...This is my favorite time of year for sure! Below is my newest pattern...

An Autumn Poem with wool leaves and flannel borders, it can be framed in a 10X13" Frame. Or made into a pillow for the couch, as a hostess gift, or a wall hanging.  Pattern comes complete with design, instructions photo and supply list.  $8.00  You can purchase it on my Etsy account, or email me and I can invoice you from Pay Pal...

Well anyway, I hope the new banner looks nice on your computer, please tell me if it is too big or something else is not quite right...I appreciate it very much...Please visit my Etsy account...and Have a most wonderful Monday!!!  I will be getting ready for Sugar Plum for the next few weeks, Time to get busy!!!

a quick little Monday babble from a simple mind!

Be a blessing to someone today!  <3 Deb
