I spent Thursday and Friday in Phoenix working on an upcoming article on an amazing once a month shopping event called Sweet Salvage. I wrote a post about it in August when I stumbled across this amazing vintage shopping extravaganza experience. I knew from the moment I saw Sweet Salvage that I absolutely had to write about it and take photos, so I called one of my favorite magazine editors and pitched the story in a very high voice. I was practically squealing with glee, which I think might have helped sell the story (grin).
Because I’m writing about it, I really can’t sneak peek here on my blog. (The magazine must have first dibs.) This little French dolly, however, inspires me to no end. I simply had to buy her!
There was so much inspiration at Sweet Salvage, but today I’m dedicating I {heart} Saturdays to Brooke Giannetti. She writes the inspiring interior design blog Velvet and Linen and I was lucky enough to meet her Thursday because she was doing a book signing of Patina Style at the event. Brooke’s book is stunning. The photos in this large coffee-table hardback book will make you swoon. Plus, she is gorgeous and so very, very nice. I’m always thrilled to meet people where talent and beauty and sincerity are all rolled up into one person.
Brooke’s book, Patina Style is my inspiration for today. Check it out, you won’t be dissapointed if you, too, are a lover of vintage items infused with authentic texture and color.
Note: I haven’t had the time to download my photos from my camera. These photos were taken from Brooke’s blog and photo credit belongs to her. Thanks Brooke!
Here’s hoping that you are having a truly Artful Saturday!
