J'adore A Beating Valentine Heart

J'adore this time of year!  'Tis true that EVERY day you should adorn those you love with affection and appreciation, but to me there is something sweet  in doing do something extra special and out-of-the-ordinary. Those special things that every day life doesn't necessarily allow time or energy for....

Some "extra" things I've done for my man on Feb 14, which you can do with little effort for your love. My girlfriends and I even do a little something special for one another on this day. It's a moment to reflect on what you appreciate about those special in your life:

• Set the table with rose petals and lit votives;
• Make an extra special meal;
• Write a message in lipstick on the bathroom mirror;
• Tuck a note into a pocket, briefcase or attach a POST IT note to the rearview mirror;
• Text a random message of love during the middle of the day;
• Breakfast of waffles in the shape of a heart;
• Packed picnic of favorite yummies...enjoyed ON THE BEACH;
• Wine and cheese at a park or beach watching the sunset
• A "Welcome Home Martini" handed as he walks through the door just as if you were transported to being a 1950's housewife! Makes for a good laugh if nothing else!
• An extra-long, lingering hug....

A few of our favorite Valentine treasures this season....

Cupid Heart- Zinc; $69

Mercury Fleur RedHeart Trio; Valentine Special $25/for 3

Mercury Classic Votive - Gold; $42 for 3 (also available in popular silver)

Antique Italian Votivos; $150-$400

Key2MyHeart Keychain; $36


The above is a keychain from our friends at The JunkGirls but don't limit it to just that use.  We think it's pretty special to use as a hang tag to tie on a package for an little extra love.

More Valentine specials in the boutique...check out February's Romantic Homes magazine to see a few of our favorite antique glass treasures on the cover!

Bissoux!

Bonne Année!!

We hope everyone had a most joyous Christmas, Hanukkah or just restful holiday season!

At Vintageweave we all celebrate Christmas and it was an especially poignant year for us: we were so gloriously busy thanks to ALL OF YOU, yet so many friends and colleagues were without jobs. It was a sincere time of reflection for me personally as I can't imagine anything sadder on Christmas morning knowing so many are without jobs, food or the simple joy of a wrapped present, especially since my parents made such an effort growing up making Christmas so special, even though we had so little money.

One area of the homeless living in clusters; heartbreaking

In this spirit I decided to institute a new tradition with family and friends. When my father passed last year I began a non-profit with another friend, Roger Goode, in honor of both of our exceptionally-giving parents.  Uncle Phil and Betty's Goode Deeds was born. It started to benefit those hungry in my hometown of Northwest Indiana/Chicagoland area, but this year grew into a west coast edition. (My father was known as "Uncle Phil" to so many friends, neighbors and relatives....he was often heard replying when asked his name: "They call me Uncle Phil" and the name stuck.)

Friend Wendy and my Mom making PBJ sandwiches

So on the morning of Christmas after attending church and exchanging presents, several friends gathered at my home where we made 100+ brown bagged lunches. I made them a macadamia nut waffle breakfast and they donated their time (I love to cook so I came out the winner!). We then piled in the car and handed them out to the many homeless on the streets of Los Angeles.  I confess I did cry behind my sunglasses, but the overall feeling of the day was of gratefulness and accomplishment. It made nary a dent in the problem, but it all must start some where, nest ce' pas?




From our home to yours, we hope you begin a new tradition in helping those struggling in our challenging economy.  Many blessings to all...

On another note, Vintageweave is open this week TODAY ONLY from 11:30-4 and reopening at 11:30 on Tuesday, Jan 4. We will not be shipping orders after today, and the boutique and warehouse will be closed for a much-needed holiday. We so appreciate all of YOU who made 2010 a successful year for Vintageweave.

A client took a photograph of her daughter dressed to welcome 2011 in a vintage French buggy. It literally took our breath away!  Happy 2011!

Eight Crazy Nights

 {One unbelievably GORGEOUS Menorah purchased for my client! $600 but got it ON SALE!}

Each year I decorate a favorite and very dear client's home for Hanukkah. I find this to be such an honor that she asks me especially since I am Catholic!

For the past several years she has celebrated this special holiday at a different home of hers so ALL NEW items must be purchased each year. This has allowed me to form a wonderful relationship with a local merchant in Los Angeles' Fairfax District, where many Jewish businesses are located.  I adore the owners of SOLOMON'S, a Judaica emporium stocked with kiddush cups, candlesticks, prayer shawls, menorahs, books in Hebrew and much more.   The two male owners (I believe father and son) are SO lovely and so very kind to always present me with a gift: "just for me, and not to give away".

{A beautiful sterling silver-clasped bracelet; a gift from Solomon's}

Each year they patiently walk this Catholic girl through every faux pas:  with every ounce of respect I either mispronounce or ask for the wrong items for the wrong holiday. I've finally learned that the "plate thingy" is beautifully named a "Sedar Plate" and one NEVER says Have A Happy Yom Kippur! (Although an old Jewish boyfriend STILL teases me that I sent him a card one year and wrote just that: "Happy Yom Kipper!" He graciously claims he thought it was cute but I'm sure his parents, one of whom is a Surviver, were mortified!)

Typically my client is out of the Country during the days of Hanukkah therefore she and her family celebrates it a wee bit later. Such is the case this year. Their Rabbi is attending a very special celebration at their home on the Saturday immediately following the last day of Hanukkah so we are adding all sorts of special touches to the home later this week.  I can't wait!

Boating essentials

I'm not big on plastic, as I prefer to celebrate life using the best china and glassware every day...this is incorporated in my daily life routines, too. But every now and then the more appropriate choice is plastic....

Enter heavenly French Liquid Soap in a plastic bottle. I sourced these when a client needed a slew of them for her client's yacht she was decorating (think of a really hot looking pirate!). Plastic pumps are simply more practical for kids' bathrooms, laundry rooms or any place broken glass would pose a sincerely horrible situation!

Available in Lavande des Collines or Persil Menthe; $18 for 50ml plastic bottle. Available now under What's New or Apothecary: "Vintageweave" .


Father's Day is approaching and this will be the first dad's day my father will be in Heaven. We're going to celebrate all the things he loved: cupcakes, carne asada tacos, fine cabernet, and an easy stroll on a boat listening to jazz & blues! ...oh and of course laughing--my dad LOVED TO LAUGH! Happy Papa's Day to all the Fathers out there!

Bonne Fête des Mères

L'amour de ma mère était si grand que j'ai travaillé dur pour le justifier

Dad's Day Vintage Style

Years ago a 30-something year old customer walked in looking for a vintage bottle...one that could be fitted with a cork. He wanted one that he could insert a love poem he had written for his girlfriend. HOW ADORABLE! I took a bit of extra time with him to purchase his $14 bottle and even helped 'fabricate' the perfect topper with cork and twine. His romantic nature made my heart sing!

Six months later they were married and a year thereafter he became a father.
Vintageweave has been honored to play a part in each milestone with gifts and decor....I'd like to think it all started with a simple, sweet idea and that old crusty vintage bottle!

Happy Father's Day to everyone who plays a role in a life of a child, friend or pet! An extra special shout out to my own perfect dad!!

Happy New Year!

May 2009 be full of light, love, health, and the most gorgeous antiques your eyes can muster!

From my home to yours, along the lighted path of beauty.....

Slowing down...

....it's been a whirlwind and for this I feel especially blessed.
Our design jobs have been keeping us running like mad from Malibu to the Hollywood Hills to Pasadena to Hidden Hills....all lovely clients with spectacular tastes!

Thank YOU for helping make this our best year ever at Vintageweave Interiors....we've had a blast, which is what life is all about (for us anyway)....

Off for a few days to Napa, California for some much needed R&R and some really good vino! Back soon when January takes us to San Francisco and to Paris {to work on a client's apartment!}, and preparations in Los Angeles for HEART DAY...



Enjoy a preview of our French treasures for Valentine's Day....

Kris Kringle Flew In

That's me these days: Kris Kringle....

....I'm busy racing around town decorating clients' homes for the holidays....and I'm LOVING IT. As a result I'm really so in the Christmas spirit (and Hanukkah as I'm coming out of my eyeballs with blue bulbs!).

Have been so busy that I've not had a chance to take any pictures, but did remember to snap a quick couple while in Ojai Valley this week...don't you love an abundance of white roses??

We're all sold out of the antique carts, but more will arrive in the Spring should you wish to add one to your porch!

I'm SO LOVING this new Midori Ribbon in 4"....brown and bright red....oh la la! What a glam statement ($179/27 yards by emailing us at vintageweave@aol.com)
