Sweet Gang Play Day


Every month the Sweet Gang meets for our Courtyard Warehouse Play Day. As a collective team we deconstruct previous displays in the areas, create a new vision, organize the fresh merchandise and get busy with it. It's a growing team of about 20 creative people all working together like clockwork....here's a little peek of how the morning played out yesterday. 


The Sweet Team arrives at 10 am and we begin with a short round robin group meeting . You can see there was a TON of new inventory everywhere. Looking around and making a plan, well that's where this team shines.
Time to start making piles and grouping like items. Deciding what stays in the Courtyard and what gets moved into the Warehouse



 Dividing the areas into zones with a story or theme helps to make sense of such large spaces. 
So  gazebos go up, large statement pieces and backdrops go into place. Pretty soon, well it all becomes super awesome.  






Sometimes it's a matter of stepping back together and collectively deciding the next element. 



After a few hours of hard team work Sweet Salvage's Courtyard and Warehouse are complete and ready for you!~Back Roads and Blooms begins this Thursday at 10am and continues through Sunday.

Springtime Alfresco





   So many thoughts come to mind putting the Backroads and Blooms Show together. A flood of memories seem to mix effortlessly with future dreams. I guess in some ways that is what Spring is all about. The season of renewal. Taking in a deep breath of fresh air and in that moment being thankful for it all. 

 A new Chance, A new Beginning. A new Season of life. 

                   In the Wise Words of the fabulous Robin Williams,
                   "Spring is nature's way of saying, 'Let's party!'

                                   So let's Do It!!!

  Set the table, fire up the grill, invite the crew and make some memories. There is no better time than now.
