Shameless plug: Saint Salvage online store

I am now peddling my wares on Storenvy. SaintSalvage on Storenvy Here's the 4-1-1: Saint Salvage of NJ is all about finding unique and vintage goodies. I have enjoyed "bright shiny objects", since I was a little girl in the 70s. I love going through estate sales, yard sales, and flea markets. When I travel, I hunt at thrift stores, consignment shops, vintage stores and through online “swapping sites”. So here I am, being ecofriendly by giving these vintage and sometimes upcycled items new life.  I am attempting to sell some of these “bright shiny objects”, and to provide a cheerful shopping experience for you.

Browse around, and check back often, since I've just begun! I want you to be just as excited when your “Saint Salvage” "present to yourself” arrives as when you discovered it. My hop...
