There are so many of these wonderful little guys in the world and I want to share my finds with you. Maybe they will brighten your day like they do mine!

Salvaged By Grace - October 14-17



GIANT PARKING LOT SALE!!



We search the country to find great items to salvage and turn them into something unique, fabulous and affordable for your home.



We have rescued good junk and have found new and funky ways to use it! Some we dust off and sell in its vintage condition, some we refurbish and make into bright and funky or sweet and simple items.


This will be a fabulous tent sale full of all kinds of furniture, decor items, antiques, art, and more...



Look for the big tent located in the parking lot next to COTTAGE HAVEN on 412 in Siloam Springs, Arkansas. (East of Wal-Mart and Lowes)

August Market Day - What a blast!

Market Day is a monthly event downtown Des Moines, Iowa. Casual atmosphere, 40 vendors selling art, vintage/found items, homemade and handmade goods. Its art and craft... not arts and crafts.

I have loved getting to know the other creators and all the shoppers. Des Moines is full of really great people!

Be sure to make it to the next one. Saturday, September 25th.

My booth continue to evolve. This month I made a new sign, headband stand, a new fabulous product - JOURNALS!!! many more signs, now with wire... and more exciting adjustments.










Check out Market Days website www.marketdayiowa.com

Enjoy your day! Mimi
