890 Saginaw Street South, Salem OR – Tues-Sat 10am-5pm – (503) 362-3341 

Took a quick look around today and wanted to share some of our newest items in the shop.

Love the lime green color here ~

And what a great bench ~

We may get a break from the incessant rain this weeked-hope so, my fingers seem to be developing webs!

creating lovely one of a kind items I mean!  Look what has been added to Lula’s space just today!

Beautiful Birds!

Fabulous ribbon – hand dyed in gorgeous shades -

and this shade  is wonderful!

Glittery Butterflies on stems  for a floral arrangement!

Such a fun place to “work”  surrounded by beauty and wonderful customers who appreciate us!

Estelle and I aren’t able to often get away in the middle of the week to go junking because one or the other of us is in the shop.  We have lots of fun when we are able to get together even if the pickings are slim.

On this particular day she found a very nice dresser while I was trolling the other aisles for some little treasure.  When I spotted this  I nearly ran over the lady in front of me reaching for her.  (She had already passed her by so we weren’t in competition!)  Heavy little lady that  she is,  I wasn’t quite prepared for her weight and almost didn’t get her picked up properly – heaven forbid I drop her on her…ummm, bosom!

A full length shot

I love mannequins and dress forms and I have wanted one by Wolf forever.  Now I own one!

A closeup shot

She’s very shapely and well made – her construction is solid and  her canvas covering almost perfect!

No tummy bulge here!

Look at that little waist!

She’s a beauty all right!  Did you notice that she’s Half Scale and a Designer and Students Model?  That’s right…she’s all of  28″ tall from her base to her neck.  I love her and I was the envy of the other shoppers when they spied her in my cart.  Thank you to whomever parted with her!

The partners at Serendipity are happy to announce that we have two brand new vendors in the shop!

Welcome Evy and Naomi!

Here are some highlights from their booth-they are still filling it of course.

Sweet red side table - our favorite red!!

Great shelves!

More to come and you all should  come in and see what’s been happening lately.

Have a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend!  Thank you to all who have served and those who are still serving our country!!

Can there be anything nicer to the eye than the colors of spring flowers?

We think not!

except for the one that isn’t in this snippet of a picture, they all have one thing in common……..a green tag.

For all our faithful blog readers, you have first notification that there is a big sale at Serendipity starting NOW.  We are most happy to welcome our two new partners – Laurel and Sophia!

They need to have space to move in and there are things here that need a new home so Estelle, Rosie and I are clearing out to make space!

Better come see what we have marked down as soon as possible and be prepared for our version of a yard sale on Saturday if the weather permits!!!!

Those in the know are aware that a sale at Serendipity is a rare event so take advantage of an extra one this year and look for those GREEN tags for big discounts!

First thing to greet me this morning was this fabulous table in the midst of a gorgeous vignette!  (Sold – thank you!)

a beautiful ornate base and check out the accessories!

and  in our most favorite RED:

just beautiful! ~SOLD~

Click to enlarge each picture-and enjoy your week!!!!

I mentioned Estelle might paint this?

Well, it looks like this now:

Nice change, huh?  Just one of the ways we help to reduce, reuse and recycle for Mother Earth.

UPDATE: This lovely piece has already found a new home!

but new things are still coming in thanks to additional partners in the shop!  Estelle and I have been working hard at an out-of-town Estate Sale that was very successful.  As anyone who does this type sale knows they can be VERY time consuming and this one was VERY time consuming!  We also had fun and we worked with the nicest lady (niece of the owner).

I digress, new things have arrived and the shop is looking good.  Thank you to Sophia and Laurel for all your hard work!  As always, click for larger views.
