Breakfast in Bed

...a luxury we so often forget to indulge in...




Breakfast in a classically-styled Louis XV Bed seems so much more DELICIOUS! Newly created in the charm and essence of yesteryear, this beauty is currently offered in Queen Size only. Contact us for more details--these are being shipped throughout the Continental U.S. right now, and into Canada later this year. King Size available soon.


...and what breakfast in bed wouldn't be complete without an oh-so-darling Creamer ($27) and Sugar ($31) set. Now available at www.vintageweave.com.



Rather go to a B&B and not worry about how well the kitchen got cleaned up?? Don't forget to pack it up in a stylish tote....
{Poste rope-handled tote; $197}




A 'la prochaine as they say...!

"C'est tout que j'aime!!"


Dragging it 3 kilometers and in raging heat, I HAD to have this oh-so-heavy Vintage French Riddling Rack complete with bits of old champagne labels plastered here and there. After having paid far more for a series of them in Northern France for the boutique, I spotted this particular beauty while in the Provence region. It was for a SONG, but only a deal if I could haul it back in time to Paris for my shipper to pack it and have it join my container of other treasures.

I must have lost 11 lbs of pure sweat that hot France day, and the driver was not pleased with me when he pulled up, with having to load this heavy thing in that took 7 tries of re-working all the other goodies I purchased. He was yelling at me, but I kept telling him how much I loved it when he spoke to me in French...even if his words aren't suitable for print!
The things we do for love!

Santos Love

{Female Form 36" w/bendable arm.....$545}


We love these female forms...and obviously so do many of you as we have always had a hard time keeping them in stock!

Originally used in religious ceremonies, such as wedding processions or funerals, the "Bastadas" (female forms) are often adorned with photos of loved ones and religious trinkets and carried down the streets. Later, they rest atop a fireplace matel or prominant place in the home where they are believed to bring fortune and blessings. These originate from either Spain, Mexico or Thailand.

{Female Form above and below pics: 30" w/wood removable arms....$445}


{Female Form 30" w/ wood removable arms...$445.....green color}

{Female Form 36" w/bendable arms....$545. Classic Turquoise color}





More arriving in pinks and yellows in the 40-46" sizes!!!
Call or email or find online if interested!

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.
