Savvy Salvage at the Raleigh Flea Market

August 8, 2012 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 12 Comments

Hand painted birds!

Hello! Wow, Wednesday already? Seriously, the week is flying by! I have so, so much stuff to do before my guests get here tonight I feel like I am running in circles. It is crazy.

Completely HAND lettered!

But before my life goes completely off the rails, I wanted to tell you about a great sale going on this weekend! I have been meaning to post about this for a couple of weeks but I had to wait until I had a few more photos( you cannot rush greatness).  If you remember this fabulous table(above) I showed you last year, it was painted by my good friend Marian.

 Marian is a trained artist and in addition to her watercolors, oil paintings, sculptures, pastels and murals she is also a decorative painter. She receives commissions from all over the country for her decorative paint finished rooms, from Venetian Plaster, to Silver and Gold leaf ceilings, to faux marbling, and so much more. 

Hand Painted Linen Seat and chair!

An unbelievable artist, decorative painter and all around gifted person.

 She seriously can make trash into treasures. 

This hand painted, antique tray is the top of this table that Marian made from some salvaged wood spindles, then painted, distressed and waxed. 

 Her talent knows no bounds. 

Gold leaf finish around the drawers and the top!

This weekend she is teaming up with another artist friend of ours Ann and will be showcasing a few of their hand painted, one of a kind pieces of furniture, accessories and more at the Raleigh Flea Market

Stenciled Dresser 

Savvy Salvage will be at the Raleigh Flea Market and I hope if you are in driving distance to the market that you go and check it out. 

Let me tell you, this is no ordinary sale. There are so many beautiful items that you will not know where to look first. I had the pleasure to preview a few of the treasures before they were packed and ready for the drive. This is my FAVORITE piece!

I love this dresser! These little birds are beautiful!

And this hand towel rack, made with salvaged wood, hand forged iron handles and a hand painted bee(she even made the towels)!

These images show just a few of the one of a kind items that Marian and Ann will have for sale this weekend. If you are looking for something special for your home or for a gift, please come out and take a look.

And if you do not live near, than please tweet, or Facebook your friends that do! I am sure that Marian and Ann would greatly appreciate it!

Thank you! I hope you have a fabulous day!

The Raleigh Flea Market is on Blue Ridge Rd and Hillsborough and although I do not know the booth number it is located under a huge tree just outside of the main permanent building. There will be a big banner with their name and I believe that they will be set up under two tents.

    All these pieces are wonderful but I'm over the top about that inen painted seat cover. Unfortunately the show is a bit far for me to jump down for the day but I hope your friend has a great sale.

    Relax, if I know you, you baked all kinds of wonderful treats for your friends. They'll be so busy eating they won't notice anything else. Enjoy your time with them and have fun!

This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life through the blur of tears and sorrow. Sunday night my friend of 34 years lost her husband of 36 years, because of Covid he did not get to meet or hold his newborn grandson. Then just an hour ago we received a call that my husbands best friend died of a massive heart attack this morning. Sometimes life just knocks you to your knees and all you can do is pray for the  loved ones you’ve lost, cherish their memories and let your time with them sustain you until you meet again. Then you ask God for the strength to get up and move forward. #life #loss #givemestrength #givemestrengthlord #pray
Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping up from the ground, bright and colorful flowers in the garden center the weather and the calendar tell me otherwise. So I am hunkering down and taking solace inside enjoying the details of a collected home and life. This tapestry is a piece that we purchased over 25 years ago in Paris, it hang in the dining room and makes me smile every time I see it because it reminds me of such a happy and beautiful place.

Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. How is it in your “neck of the woods?” We took a long road-trip a few weeks ago to the beautiful @colonialwmsburg . I love this place, there is so much to see and do and even wearing masks and social distancing you can still enjoy the history and the beauty of this living museum. Today I am home doing the weekend chores, and of course doing a little baking. I hope that you have a fabulous weekend. #colonialwilliamsburg #williamsburg #colonialhouse #livinghistory #livinghistorymuseum #museum #winterfun #roadtrip #wanderlust #weekend #weekendvibes #weekendmood

This has been a strange winter and I am sure that for the 4 million people without power in19 states they are hoping spring is sooner rather than later. I hope that you are all well and keeping safe.
