Bordeaux anyone?


Whether or not you are a lover of wine, the uniqueness of wine paraphernalia has always been an attractive decor item in our design schemes for many clients.

These antique French wine jugs are FANTASTIC....!! We scooped up all we could and while many sold the moment they were placed in the boutique, about 20 still remain.




All in GREAT condition and each comes shipped in a crate made from old wood (crate not antique).


While gorgeous displayed just as they are, we had one on display in the boutique as shown below. An owner of a new Napa Valley restaurant loved it so much, he's having us put together three bottles filled for his restaurant display. Tres chic! Fortunately we came across boxes and boxes of corks being discarded by a Napa Winery last year...finally found the perfect use!


New container from our latest French buying trip in now!

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!!

Antique Wicker Wine Jug Redux


A new way to incorporate highly-popular glass jugs wrapped in wicker......

We have a hard time keeping the wicker bottles in stock, and now we have a new treasure for your WISH LIST!


The trick is using lots of good quality (i.e. expensive) metal to solder the crystals so they don't move or become so delicate that you are unable to let anyone touch them! These are my most favorite yet!

$295-$2,000....pop in the boutique or check out part of our collection here online

Vintage Bottles


Old Bottles. So drawn to them. Milky and Cloudy insides. Chipped rims. Distorted colors of green, blue and clear...love them all. Love them plain, arranged in a group, or artfully staged as three in a row atop a bathroom window sill.
They can be found at a variety of American and European flea markets, but then the magic happens:

We love those with wax tops serving as miniature windows into a whimsical story...
and a hanging scrolled verse:

*Pearls of Wisdom {starts out "The Wisdom to accept myself, The Wisdom to know that all living creatures are equally important, The Wisdom to find something to learn in all mistakes...."; small $41; large $54}
*Wish Crystals {$44}
*Giggle Dust {$40}

We esp. love those that celebrate the love of an animal... *Dog Gone to Heaven (shows dog with wings and an angel standing by) {$62}
*Giggle Ball {$39}
*Remember Kindness (celebrating animal rescue) {$64}

We love those that have vintage-inspired Parisian labels {$24-48}:


And we love those with a religious edge:
