Giving Back - Introducing Salt Washed Company

929 E Murray Holladay Rd.

Salt Lake City, Utah

Each time I have visited this store I am greeted by warm and friendly smiles. The women who have come together to create this co-op don't need to work hard at making you feel welcome, you sense the moment you walk into the store.

I wanted to take a moment to introduce a group of talented artists, artisans and collectors who have turned a small store front retail store in Holladay, Utah into a veritable feast of great finds.

As you weave through the carefully planned uprights and gift racks, your eye will certainly find something of interest whether old, new, contemporary or vintage. Much love and care is put into each piece placed on the floor for sale and it shows. Each item carefully and strategically placed to catch a glance or two. You never leave the store empty handed, most especially when there is a sale.

Perhaps it is best described as a calling or as I read recently a VOCATION, which in latin VOCARE means "to call." Did yo...
