Loving our Planet


What better way to celebrate EARTH DAY than with RECYCLED BURLAP BAGS...made fresh with stamped French writing?

Vintage+recycled bags gathered from all over the world. While the bags themselves are not French, the inspiration behind the stamping is! 3 fabric-covered button closures on back; each back varies with original ink color from bag. New stamping is all in black on front. Includes poly insert.

Especially love them mixed with Vintage French Ticking....


Currently only available via phone or email.

Photos speaking a Thousand Words...in French!


One of the perks of this chosen career is meeting artists ...talented, amazing artistic folks. ...those who are on their clear path and journey. Doing what God intended. Leaving a lingering smile when they walk away to create more beauty.

One such artistic eye belongs to the lovely Shani...photographer extraordinaire. Together we shall create some new and exciting chapters for Vintageweave. She's almost as perfect as a Croissant au beurre.

Shani KNOWS France. Having lived there for many moons, she gets what Vintageweave is all about. Shani is perfectly au fait on the ambiance. The essence of our vision is so ideally captured in her photographs that it makes the heart tingle.

Take a sneak peak on her "BLOG" and help us give a lovely hug to our newest member of the "team". We hope you enjoy your virtual visit to our shoppe through the photographs on Shani's gorgeous blog. Imagine the smell wafting through the air of the cup of steaming Mariage Freres Marco Polo tea we have waiting for you at the checkout counter. Consuming the Poilâne butter cookie is optional.

Gardeners Come Forth!

{Zinc Pot Carriers w/pots; $75 set}

Spring brings out the green thumb in all of us....

When you don't have that much in the way of space (think rooftop deck), want a little window cheer, or need something pretty for the starter plants, these zinc pot carriers fit the bill perfectly!

Modeled after those found in the early 1920's, these newly-devised Zinc Pot Carriers come with the 6 pots (all new). We've sold the antique versions in the past (and still sell the vintage zinc pots!), and were thrilled to discover these fantastic interpretations.


{Antique French Plant Markers; $40/ea. France circa early 1920's}

For those die-hard antique lovers out there who want that certain je ne sais quoi, these antique French slate Plant Markers add so much delight to the vegetable garden or just in their proper simplistic form coming out of a potted plant. Our favorite French antique garden dealer emailed us when she stumbled across them as she knew I'd go ga-ga over their....... well.....Frenchness!

If you're creative with moss and small plants, our French Lace Basket Sets would look amazing with pansies against the French grey wire. Each set comes with 5 in various sizes. The uses around the garden, office, bath and kitchen are endless!
(A set immediately went home with me!)

Duckie Duckie

{French Duck Pellet Sachets}

We are textile NUTS at Vintageweave! Can't control the spending whether drooling over vintage crewel lace in Bath, ENGLAND or antique faded linen in Provence, FRANCE. Fortunately for us, there are many of you out there that share our addiction! {But what an addiction it is!}

Enter these small, yet WOW factor textile bags: Vintage French Duck Pellet Cases.

We have hundreds so some may be fashioned into pillow designs, tablecloths.....but for now, we love them chock full of heavenly Lavender. The faded black markings capture the eye and you'd never know the labor intensive washing (5 washings), sanitizing and pressing. These were discovered in horrid condition and smelled of petro, but we saw past all of that and imagined the beauty beneath. The heavenly, nubby-textile beauty!

French Duck Pellet Sachets measure 12 x 5"; $30 Cream Linen; $35 Natural Linen
