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.

Black and White Photography


Our friend Happy W. takes these amazing photographs that line the walls of our home and boutique {Ballet Dancers' Embrace-above}. An extensive traveler, he uses no posed models but instead snaps artistic images that speak to his heart in France, Cuba, Spain, Russia, Mexico and beyond. To say creative juices run through his blood is an understatement. In addition to winning numerous national and international photography awards as a fine art photographer, Happy is a successful Music Industry Executive, Music Producer, talent manager, film producer, sports manager, and a fellow Midwesterner. He's humble and oh-so-down-to-earth which is reflected in his photographs, evoking the same calm he possesses.

We love mixing these photographs with vintage prints, antique Parisian leather club chairs, chippy-white columns and wonderfully-patina farmhouse tables. Contact us if interested in acquiring one of his limited-edition prints or in seeing more of the collection.

This one always reminds my of my grandmother and aunts. I love it so.
