Glittermania + Celebrity Spotlight

{3 foot Table Top Bejewelled Eiffel; also available in 5 and 7 foot}

Real German Glass Glitter is such a favorite, mainly because after it's exposd to air for a period of time it takes on a gorgeous antiqued patina: from Shiny silver to Gorgeous Gold-ish.

One of our favorite artists in this arena is the uber-talented Wendy Addison. Her creations always fly out the door.....

Sharon Osbourne is a fan, too. While many of the treasures Sharon buys from us are one-of-a kind, she's a big fan of Eiffel Towers, like the 3 foot one she purchased above. But she also loves the German Glass Glitter ones, too. Some of her favorite glittery Eiffels:

Crown for a King

Due to the mayhem and traffic congestion in Los Angeles for the Michael Jackson Memorial on Tuesday, July 7, Vintageweave Interiors will be open on limited hours:

UPDATED: THE TRAFFIC WAS WORSE THAN EVEN WE THOUGHT AND IT'S STILL EARLY! VINTAGEWEAVE REGRETS IT WILL BE CLOSED ALL DAY TODAY, Tuesday, July 7. We will be open Wednesday, July 8, 11a-4p. Normal hours resume Friday and Saturday 11a-4p.

Being born in Gary (waaaay back when) and an affinity for all things Jackson 5, I'd like to think the King of Pop would have loved one of our vintage crowns for his collection. New arrival of vintage crowns in now. Looks for detailed pictures in a post later this week.


Dear Michael: For such an incredibly talented entertainer who gave us all years of jaw-dropping moves and song, we hope your troubled adult soul can now rest in peace, as God intended.

A Laughing Foundation

"No joke is needed to get members of more than 500 laughing clubs in India to erupt with glee. 

Instead, they breathe deeply, yoga-like, reach for the sky to reduce inhibitions, then force a 'ho, ho, ha, ha' until the laughter becomes contagious. Laughing reduces stress, claims Dr. Madan Kataria, the founder of SAKTHIFOUNDATION (www.sakthifoundation.org). 'Laughing is my mission,' he says, 'I want to spread it all over the world.'"

Rock on, Dr Kataria!

Hollywood Homes

Busy working on a two clients' homes in the Hollywood Hills. One a Hollywood producer, the other a Hollywood actor....it's only fitting that they live in the hills among the stars in the sky and stars on the ground!

Logistically-speaking, I lucked out in that both live near this interesection. Can you imagine driving past this gorgeously-maintained public corner everyday?

More to come once there's stuff to show. Nothing but contractor work right now...

Crowning Glory

Today the crowned jewel arrived in my inbox...."Might I be available to assist with a styling for a photoshoot for O At Home Magazine?"

All I could think about is "How fast does my car go?" (Pretty fast thanks to the Europeans)

I love decorating. I love styling.

I love making clients squeal with delight over a found treasure angled in just the right way in just the right spot.

More to come....

I *HEART* Julie Louis-Dreyfus

It's FUN Emmy week here in Los Angeles/Hollywood and we've been blessed to be busy, busy arranging gifts and adding the right tweaks here and there at various client's homes.

It's true. I'm human. I PLAY FAVORITES!
One of our most favorite clients:

The gorgeous Julia Louis-Dreyfus

. 

We don't just love her because her set decor, New Adventures of Old Christine, is built around an incredible variety of Vintageweave bits and bobs & specially- design items throughout.......... We don't just love her because she had us gut-wretching laughing during her Emmy-winning run on Seinfield........

.......................  We love her because she's one of the most talented comedic actresses of her time, because she's one of the nicest and humblest people (despite her privileged background-you'd NEVER know), because she makes us LAUGH OUT LOUD in her role as recently-divorced, single-mom CHRISTINE......and because, well, she's a loyal shopper of Vintageweave! What's not to love???!

Frequently ordering these votives by the dozens , Julia is a big fan of all Vintageweave's reproduction Mercury glass as it goes well with the lifestyle of having boys constantly running around the house! (Breaking antique mercury glass would be too hard for the stomach to bear!)

Trivia: On her casual days, she's the ultimate classic dresser and truly has the most PERFECT skin I've ever seen. Her complexion is actually legendary in industry circles.

While we have many clients up for an EMMY tonight and have our fingers crossed for all of them, Julia holds a special place in our hearts because her character, Christine, tickles our funny bone in all the right places!

TEAM JULIA!

I *HEART* Sharon Osbourne

Major Rule: We don't dish on our celebrity clients. {There are plenty of rags...er, websites & blogs for that.}

But every now and then we just have to share: I did a VERY small thing for our client, Sharon. Truly. She in turn did a VERY big thing by surprising me with a most beautiful arrangement of lilacs, roses and more. She is incredibly sweet in person and far too thoughtful from afar. Truly.
