Now Presenting "No. 3" at Creekside Antiques!

I am presenting a new, more casual line of vintage finds called "No. 3" at a space I've acquired at Creekside Antiques in Downingtown. You'll find us just at the corner of Manor Ave. & Route 30. I'm making the most of the size of the space by packing it full of linens, ironstone, handmade items and bargains galore! If you are in need of a unique gift for the friend who appreciates something different, then you are bound to find something perfect. The space is aglow with pretty lighting, shades of cream and white, with some texture thrown in. I'd love to get your feedback after the visit! Happy hunting!

Good Samaritan Fair Days

We had perfect weather for the Good Samaritan Fair Days in Paoli. Our booth was beautifully situated under a tall oak tree that offered us great shade. My talented friend, Kirsten Leigh, stopped by to shoot some great shots of my "vignettes" of vintage finds. The folks walking around gave us some great compliments on our booth staging, which was so encouraging!

I'm getting ready to re-stage my space at Vintage Home with new treasures, so stop in for a visit!

Tent Sale!

Wow..."Tent Sale" has a whole new meaning to me now! With back to back tent sales, one at my favorite shop, "Vintage Home" and one of my own, I'm pooped! I loved every minute of it, though! I hadn't realized how much stuff I had collected till I started displaying it over the lawn and throughout the tents! More than any other element of design, I love "staging," and it was a delight setting out all of the findings I have been storing for months. It was a blast watching folks exploring the different vignettes set up all over the lawn as they searched for an unusual item to take home. We enjoyed "Grace's Market" filled with homemade treats to offer the crowd.

I'm already planning my next Tent Sale for the fall, so I'll keep you all posted on the date...Thanks to all of my friends who were so supportive and spread the word.

A Lovely Day

Just wanted to share some wonderful pictures from my Tent Sale!

Findings at Vignettes!

I just staged the store recently with some beautiful and elegant furniture, accessories, original art and shabby findings! I'm thrilled to host an antique 1930s mahogany tilt top table that would be amazing in a center hall or large foyer. I'm delighted to have some great vintage mirrors with gilded frames on display, as well as a set of fun, pink Limoges plates--just perfect for Summer entertaining. There are many more treasures to explore. Stop by!

Spring Tent Sale at Vintage Home

Come visit us at Vintage Home on May 21st and 22nd between 10 and 5 (Friday/Saturday) for our inspirational Tent Sale.

We only host this event twice a year, so don't miss it! There will be several Vintage friends joining us with their finds, too. Shop inside or out--the tents outside of the store will be filled with an abundance of additional inventory, so you are sure to find a treasure!

I will be carrying wonderful vintage finds for Lawn & Garden & Home. I love to repurpose "found objects" and retell their story in a new and creative way.

Plus I'll have some specially selected "bargain items" to make the hunt worthwhile. Enjoy the photos below that represent some of the items on sale.

Hope to see you all!

May 21st and 22nd
Hours of the Sale: 10-5 on Friday and 10-5 Saturday

Things change every week at Vignettes!

Hi friends, I can honestly say I am having the time of my life staging my new space in Vintage Home. Thank you to everyone that has been able to stop by and visit. I so appreciate everyone's support.

Aren't these cube "doorstops" adorable? They are made out of mostly vintage fabric and they make a great gift. I am constantly bringing in new pillows also. You know us gals, we LOVE pillows. My husband finally got used to the amount of pillows on our bed.

For those of you looking for a great find.....this weekend, 10/9-10/10, Vintage Home is hosting a "Tent Sale" on Friday/Saturday. Lot's of great items under tents in their parking lot. Stop by!

First Glance at Vignettes (objects retold)

What I love about Vintage Home is that the inventory is well priced and constantly changing. Each week unique items come into the store. Many long standing clients stop by several times a month to check out what's new! It's a slight obsession!

My “vignette” space will introduce new items each week as well. I'll be showcasing textiles, pillows, antiques, painted furniture, architectural elements, vintage accessories and much more. As we approach the holiday season, I'll be displaying affordable gifts for friends and family. Stop by soon! Would love to see you.

Love for Textiles

I've been collecting vintage textiles for years. While traveling in France, I gathered wonderful homespun linens and French tickings. I also have access to wonderful trade fabrics.

I've been waiting to transform these beautiful textiles into pillows and now “vignettes” will have them for you to enjoy in your home! All pillows have feather/down inserts, which give a more luxurious appearance.
