Anyone who is a serious stamper, and is invested in this craft, and follows new stuff knows who Tim Holtz is. His blog is one I faithfully follow and read. In January Tim posted about a visit to a wonderful antique shop called Sweet Salvage in Phoenix, Arizona. It is only opened one weekend a month! Since I had already planned a trip to Arizona I googled the name for more information. I discovered that the one weekend a month they are open to the public was during the time I would be in Mesa! So I asked my friends if they would be interested in going shopping with me there --and they were. I mainly wanted to see what there was available.
I saw some very neat things but not enough room in my suitcase!
Aren't those neat looking things!
And then I glanced up and who did I see? Tim Holtz and Mario!
Both he and Mario were very gracious! Mario took the picture. I found out they were on their way to London, but their flight was delayed so they decided at the spur of the moment to stop by Sweet Salvage! It was a special moment for me!
I told him about Technique Junkie Stamps and he said he would check them out and wrote down the name!
Have you had a cool surprise? Get inky!

You got to meet Tim! That's wonderful!
What a wonderful surprise for you! Looks a great place too.
Wow,Judy, that was sure a memorable trip!
Wow, wish I would have known you were here. I live in the East Valley and would have loved to met up for a cup of coffee with you.
Congratulations, rubbing elbows with one of the stamping greats!
Oh my freaking Gosh, Judy. Earlier today I saw on Facebook he posted a pic from there with a HUGE grin on his face. You could tell he loves the place. I cannot believe your luck. And way to go telling him about TJ! Pat better be proud of you, I know I am! xoxo
That is so cool!
Awesome, Judy.
