Ali<\/a> and I have been scheming a trip to Glasgow for months now, to visit the latest salvage hot-spot in the west, Love Salvage. The opportunity finally arose when Ali decided to submit a piece of sculpture to the Royal Glasgow Institute<\/a>\u00a0open exhibition. Having fairly unsuccessfully navigated the bewildering one way streets of Glasgow’s city centre, we headed out across the Clyde Arc to blue skies over Govan.<\/p>\n

Love Salvage opened in May and since then has marketed to great success via Instagram et al. I’ve enjoyed seeing their regular pics in my insta-feed (is that even a legit phrase?), including all sorts of retro, vintage, up-cycled and kitsch items. Feeling that many bargains were\u00a0precipitously\u00a0slipping through my fingers, I was keen to get acquainted with the place and its wares. Laid out temptingly in a sunny old former church building, there was everything from vintage eye charts to roulette tables, huge maps, church pews, school blackboards, ladders….<\/p>\n

A few things caught my roving eye including these retro tulip chairs, a lovely selection of vintage picnic ware, and colourful pub trays.

If i had an inch or two to spare at home, which i don’t, i’d have snapped up this unusual narrow vintage filing cabinet.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_1358\"<\/a> \"IMG_1362\"<\/a>Most impressive was the wide selection of vintage and\u00a0industrial\u00a0lighting, all at very reasonable prices. I came away with this cool little battered danish table lamp.<\/p>\n

\"photo\"<\/a>Ali and I received a warm welcome from John, and\u00a0negotiated\u00a0a decent trade of my spectacular but formerly under-loved overmantel mirror, lamp and some slates, in exchange for a very reasonable \u00a330 plus some blog post publicity!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_1404\"<\/p>\n

Here’s my mantel mirror in situ. Its absolutely perfect and exactly what i had been looking for.<\/p>\n

All in all a very worthwhile trip indeed. Any other east coasters up for it?<\/p>\n
