Salvage Sisters focuses on rescuing the rugged by picking and rehabbing unique treasures. 2020: It started with $800 and a mother’s legacy. Kauffman.

Our passion is uncovering the potential in the forgotten; we rescue time-worn pieces and refine them to bring a simple, natural touch to your space. Salvage Sisters was born from the heart of our mother, Betty B. Betty had a gift for finding beauty in the things others cast aside, and she spent her life finding joy in the "hunt" of a good sale. Thrifting is in our blood. When she passed in 2020, we took the $800 seed money from her very last yard sale and decided to turn that passion into a hobby. With that seed money in hand, we hit the ground running. Every weekend became a mission: scouting estate sales, roadside curbs, and barn sales for anything with potential. This year was a whirlwind of investing in our first saws, drills, and brushes—learning as we went. We started so small we didn't even have a garage to work in, so we rented a storage unit until our very first sale brought our treasures to life. Every treasure we sell is a labor of love shared between us. We find joy in every stage—picking, creating, and staging—but our favorite part will always be doing it together as sisters. We began selling at the Kauffman Family Farm barn sale in the fall of 2020. The past five years have been spent partnering with our brother and sister-in-law, David and Melanie Kauffman, who shared their charming space with us. They still host several sales throughout the year—be sure to follow their treasures on FB . Clarksville, MI.

2026 is the start of a brand-new chapter! While we have loved every moment at the Kauffman Family Farm, Salvage Sisters is moving to a new home. You can now find our treasures at Bob’s Barn as part of The Barn Sale Trail. Be sure to follow the Trail for all upcoming sale dates! Looking ahead to 2027, we are hard at work on something special. We are currently renovating a space in Portland designed specifically for our one-of-a-kind finds. The dust is flying and our vision is coming to life. Stay tuned for updates—we can’t wait to welcome you into our new space in 2027! With love and dust.

'Tis the season for cozy barns and hot cocoa.

By the time this sale rolls around, out come the lights, the holiday music starts playing, and getting together with all of you at Bob's Barn in Lake Odessa feels like a sweet way to ring in the holidays.

We are already envisioning filling the space with our latest festive treasures, and plenty of familiar faces on November 13–14.

With love and dust,

Before we wrap up our final Barn Sale Trail of the year, we're taking a moment to reflect. Looking back on this year, it’s hard to believe how much has changed. Stepping out on our own as the Salvage Sisters felt like a natural evolution and transitioning away from Kauffman Family Farm—where we spent five incredible years building alongside family—felt like the end of an era.

To everyone who knew us from the Kauffman Family Farm and decided to follow along on this new adventure with us: thank you. We couldn't ask for a better community to share this journey with.

With love and dust,
Darlene & Deb

We're taking a breather this week after such an incredible run of fall markets. Nothing beats an early morning coffee and a little quiet time before the day starts.

These quiet moments will quickly turn into creating one-of-a-kind holiday pieces as we gear up for our final The Barn Sale Trail at Bob's Barn on November 13–14. Until then, we're just enjoying the slow pace.

Love and dust

With gratitude to everyone who stopped by and visited us at Centennial Farm Antiques this weekend! From braving the chilly Sunday weather to digging through our treasures, we loved connecting with all of you, sharing our pieces, and meeting some really cool fellow vendors along the way.

Give our page a follow so you don't miss anything. We are already hard at work gathering inventory for our next big event: the Barn Sale Trail coming up on November 13–14. We can't wait to see you then.

With love and dust,
