I found an adorable site and wanted to link it up.  Hope you enjoy as much as I did. 

The Pink Porch: Happy New Year!: After an extended break from blogland I have returned!   Did you miss me? I certainly missed you. Things were busy busy busy around here...

Silent for So Long

This is an amazing early 1900's doorstop. It has a few cracks but is just priceless.

My resolution for Devine Salvage in 2013 is to be more deligent in bloggin.  It was a great Christmas Season on Ebay and I want to THANK each of you for purchasing away.

Santa Clause came to our house this year

 

 I also want to make sure each of know I am still here to dig thru things and find exactly what you are looking for, just ask me to.

 

This is me  Panama City Beach, FL between Christmas and New Year

 

I am going to start working on reloading the stores on Etsy and Ebay for the New Year.  Etsy was really quiet during the holidays but I just have to find my knitch over there.  Daddy is still closing his booths in the Highlands and Cotton Antique Malls in Dothan, AL.  So as he closes them you will notice many more things that do not look usual for me. 

 

 

This is a Maitland-Smith piece that is on Ebay right now. 

 

These are my grandbabies during the holidays

 

Keeping true to the salvage side I thought I would share with you the pictures of an old carousel that was built on our property many many years ago. 

 

This is a beautiful picture of the fog coming in Christmas Eve morning in the front yard by the pond.

 

I pray all of you are blessed in 2013 and that we keep recycling this wonderful earth one vintage and antique item at a time.

New JUNK in that need makeovers

I'm overloaded with new items. Some can go straight into the stores and I will post some of those maybe tomorrow. Here is a look at some of the JUNK that I will be giving a makeover

 

This is a look at a really old frame that is going to be painted.  I'm thinking grey but maybe shabby chic white with distressing.  The spoon is metal and from the 60's I think.

This is a fabulous very old Prince Albert can It is going straight in the Etsy store.

This is wooden mirrored coat rack from the 90's.  I'm still debating what to do with it.  It can't ship so I hoping some of my local buddies will snap it up. 

 

This is an ugly old print that I'm making into a chalk board.  This is my first attempt with this paint so we will see how it turns out.

 

This is a dining room set that needs a new home.  There is a little paint on one chair but I'll get that off before it finds a new home.  $150 obo

 

This is cool vintage iron.  Check out the lady on the front of the box. $15

 

This is a really pretty shabby chic colored coffee cup print.  I'm not sure what color to paint the frame.  My hubby has to cut it down to fit exactly but it will be fab.

These are some great old vintage sconces.  The set I think will be distressed white.  The mirrored one the same.  They will look so different in the end.  The large mirror is for my upstairs bathroom. 

 

This is a really sweet old cutting board/wall hanging.  It would be great in someones kitchen.

These are going to be grey and hang over the kitchen sink holding my pink curtains which I have to also dye.  I think it will look nice in my new pink kitchen.  I will be posting final pictures of that soon.  It is winding down.  The kitchen has been allot of hard work but it looks twice as big since it is not dark paneling any more.  The new to us dishwasher is working.  The new to us fridge gets installed Monday and that is mental relief to me.  I will be so happy to have a working ice maker again.  YAY!!!!  I still have to get my step-grandmother's 1940's pie safe out of the basement and put in place.  It needs to be cleaned up but I'm leaving it shabby.

 

Well I hope you have enjoyed seeing what is new.  It is allot of work again to update the look of  the JUNK I found but it will be worth it when it has a new home. 

 

 

 

 

 

Mental Tooth Overload

Mental Tooth Overload

This is what I am having of late.  I have an abscessed tooth that just cracked in half and half of it finally came out.  Well it will make you mental.  The pain is excruciating  and the doctoring of it is like an obsession.  Somehow I have managed to spruce up the stores in this time.  It is so exciting finding more and more goodies here in Grandma's house (my Forever Home).  There are things around ever corner.  You clean out a shed and find 25 light fixtures that need some love.  You snoop around the basement and find Ziploc bags full of vintage and antique hinges, door knobs, light fixtures and switch plates. 

See there is a set of scales that are God knows how old and a great standing floor lamp that needs some love and a twin headboard.  Then you see these wonderful old gas cans from who knows what year. 

Some of these things I will spruce up and put in the house, some will be done up and sold at an estate sale (because they are heavy or large and can't ship well) and some will go in the Etsy and Ebay stores.  There are so many light fixtures and covers that need new homes.  Plus every time I turn around Momma is bringing stuff from one of my two other Grandma's houses that need new homes.  It is wonderful and I am truly blessed. 

These are some of the items that are already in the store or are hitting them later today.  Some of it is from the 30's and 40's some from the 80's.  It doesn't make rhyme or reason so I have to assume lots of it was a gift from grandchildren over the years.  Like the Chokin plates, they came from a wholesale company I used to manage in Tallahassee called India Imports (I know they have nothing to do with India but alot of things about that company didn't make sense).  I will soon figure out how to get my Pinterest button on here so it will link to my inspiration photos.

 

Speaking of inspiration you should see the inspiration board I am working on.  It is an antique mirror frame that the mirror got broke in storage, well I have found a sack of vintage clothe ware and that is going to be the foundation for my new board.  As soon as I get all of the pieces steam ironed and attached I will post a picture. 

 

Thanks for coming along with me while I build my dream.  I am trying to upcycle the earth one antique or vintage item at a time.
