My mother is a TREASURE. She's brought me into a thousand stores like this ever since the early 70's. But I have to tell you something, from a person that doesn't love these type of stores --
-- this one is my favorite. Not too cluttered, not too folksy, not too weird -- simply pitch perfect. The owner and her staff have a way about them, always welcoming, never pushy about product.
This last Spring my Mom visited from the East Coast. I was so lucky to have found this store before her arrival. She agreed that it was wonderful and checked out every last inch of the place. We were easily there for an hour.
Weeks later my Mom took a bad fall. My family flew in from out of state and got her to the right hospitals and the right Doctors and she's now doing okay.
Her memory had been damaged in the fall and so I was asking her questions about her recent Inland Empire visit. She remembered visiting this store but not the name of it. That's when I realized I didn't know it either.
When I found it was called SALVAGED TREASURES, just WOW. My family had salvaged our Mom -- our treasure -- and I felt honored to have visited such a place with such a person. read more
