Well, friends, we took a little break there, but the weekly weekend sale which once made us all so weak in the knees is back! With fortissimo!
Zoom!
And last weekend, we announced it a little late in the game, so here's hoping that Wednesday is enough for the average Conscious Consumer to a) get on website b) find blog on said website c) exclaim 'zounds' at the potential savings had by attending the sale mentioned in said blog d) logout and drive to Olympia Salvage and sign one's signature on a cheque/credit card receipt (we take cash, too!)
So here's hopin'
And another thing... the sale itself!
This Saturday and Sunday, consider the prices on cabinets and furniture to be exactly 35% higher than the amount we sincerely expect you to pay. Unfortunately, this cannot be extended to consigned and vintage items, but that demographic makes up such a small portion of our cabinet/furniture melting pot that who cares, anyway?!
Come in and Save!!

Hot Dog, a sale!
Yes, Conscious Consumer, its that time again. A sale. A big sale. All weekend long, 50% of sinks and toilets. Sure, sinks and toilets aren't all that exciting, but what about when they're half off, hmm? Exciting yet?
Now, our sinks start at around $5, and our toilets right about at $10, so with all those savings, you might want to think about putting a sink in the garage, or a toilet in the kitchen. Why, the possibilities are endless!
We'll see you this weekend.

If you can't stand the heat...
Perhaps it's time for a more heat-resistant kitchen!
Something in a beautiful stainless steel finish, perhaps?
Yes, you guessed it, we have been inundated with an abundance of commercial grade stainless steel counter tops, appliances, and fixtures, priced to move!
Fryers, warewashers, dual-direction food grinders, huge sink and countertop spaces, and over the next week, there will be more to come! This stuff sells for thousands new, but don't expect high prices from us, Conscious Consumer. We have beautiful commercial-grade stainless wares in stock starting at just $250.
Yes, come in and see for yourself, but hurry, it won't last!

...and now we salvage ourselves
From the brilliant minds of the people who brought you Olympia Salvage, comes a new idea, Olympia Salvage!
We have a new plan, a new vision for the future, a plan so dazzling, that the mere notions couldn't be adequately expressed in such a lowly conduit as HTML. But, alas, you go to blog with the tools you have, not the tools you wish you had. So here goes:
over the next few weeks, our warehouse will undergo great changes, designed in mind to make your shopping experience more enjoyable, more efficient, and just plain fun, Conscious Consumer! We will be moving things around, making what once was lost, now found. We think you will find the new Olympia Salvage to be more exciting, and the materials you seek in a sensible, friendly, and accessible environment.
And we think you will like what you see. Remember: you can't spell "feng shui" without "f-u-n."
Stay tuned for more exciting changes on the way!

It's blog eat blog out there...
Do you know how long I've waited to use that line?
I didn't want to use it right off the bat, no. My best material, right out front? It'd all be downhill from there, and then where would we be?
So, I've wanted to do this for a while, but never actually did it. What is the 'this' to which I am referring? Just what is it that I am blathering about? Is the suspense killing you? What I've wanted to do, is find cool, not-so-obviously related websites and share them with you. And here's the first:
www.weburbanist.com A very cool website, outlining innovative projects, abandoned buildings, new and strange ideas, and beautiful pictures of things we like. Interesting things.
Now, I am kind of new to this whole 'blogosphere' The only Sphere I am familiar with is Thelonious Monk (2 cool points if you get that one) and just maybe, all of you already know about weburbanist.com. Maybe, I am the only one, standing out in the rain with my candle, complaining about y2k, and the rest of you are zooming down the information superhighway, reading my pitiful medieval blog and laughing all the while, "Ha!"
Well, I don't care if I am a Luddite, I am happy the way I am!
Or, maybe I'm wrong, and its really new and totally cool? You never can tell.

When last we spoke...
Greetings, Conscious Consumer!
It has been so long since our last transmission. We missed you, did you miss us? We thought so. So much has changed since last we spoke, and yet, somehow, so much remains the same. Many of you have been coming in to the store, expressing your interest in used building materials, and we have obliged all of your requests as we can.
We continue to see great things streaming into the store on a daily basis. The cabinet aisle is presently bursting at its proverbial seams, and speaking of cabinets, an amazing array of vintage cabinet hardware just came in, after being hoarded in dusty storage for almost 40 years! If you seek to match your atomic age pulls and knobs, now is the time!
Also fresh in, another shipment of everyone's favorite quartz-composite floor and countertop material: Caesarstone! If you haven't been in to check this stuff out, you must! If you don't, you may never forgive yourself! (I would forgive you, 'water under the bridge,' I'd say, but then again, I don't have to live with your horribly outdated kitchen and bathroom every day, now do I?) Yes, we expect one more shipment of this amazing product in the coming weeks, and then poof! No more! Only the ugly ones will remain! (just kidding, they're all as beautiful as baby koalas.)
And its the little things I enjoy. Sure the big glue lam beams are nice, sure I like all the hardwood flooring and raw white oak and rock maple we have in stock, sure we have more like-new appliances than we know what to do with. All of these things are true. But like I once said, not so long ago, 'its the little things I enjoy.'
For instance: the tiny, little cast iron corner sink that came in last week. If you aren't looking for one of these, you may find it to be one of the most ridiculous plumbing fixtures ever created. But if you have ever shopped for one, you will know that finding one feels much the way interpreting the Rosetta Stone must have. (good.)
And all of the new garden gates in stock, perfect time of year, no?
And the two sets of full-light french doors? Yes, you noticed I saved those for the end- just to see who among us actually makes it all the way to the end of these posts. I am only testing you because I never learned a more appropriate way to show affection. And who among us can deny they've never done the same? Really?!
