Vintage Vignettes


Dear friend, Jackie, recently relocated from Los Angeles to North Carolina. I first met this amazing woman as a customer of Vintageweave. Her visits became more frequent and within a month she became a client. Shortly thereafter, she became a friend, a treasured friend. Jackie loves to shop almost as much as I do! Her home is filled with lots of Vintageweave treasures and other wonderful finds discovered during her frequent vintage hunting trips. I miss her daily visits, but now enjoy her daily emails...we have fun trying to decorate together over the phone or via email...

"....move the small blue atop the large yellow and the big pink near the green..."

I trust any government employee scanning our emails doesn't think it's Russian Code for a chess game of spy warriors!


Note the Vintageweave Mail Holder in the lower left...Jackie turned it into a unique spice rack...LUV IT!


Jackie has many talents and if you're in the NC area and are interested in becoming a Casting Director, she occasionally teaches classes on this topic when she's not, well, casting.... IF YOU KNOW OF GREAT VINTAGE SHOPS IN/AROUND NORTH CAROLINA, PLEASE SHARE AS SHE CRIES THAT THE AREA IS BARREN and she's needing a fix that UPS can't always deliver from our doors to hers....

Our email decorating discussions are due in anticipation of a November photo shoot for Country Home magazine.(Out around this time next year).

I love the distressing of the hutch. Imperfection speaks to me. It is something we all live with because we are human. Old and faded things have a wonderful patina and history that accompanies them. Always makes me wonder what lays behind the chipped paint and worn facades.

Have a great day, Kathy.

Calypso Cottage in Beaufort, NC is a GREAT STORE. The owners moved down from Nantucket and Long Island and have fab taste. Lots of new and vintage stuff, reasonable prices. Very beachy, cottagy. Enjoy!
