Vignettes! Swap Goodies!

Hello Friends!

Bonjour!


 Found this little pumpkin at the fabulous Vignettes Antiques!
The Bonjour is carved right into the pumpkin.
I believe it's a technique where you carve into the pumpkin
when it's young and as it grows it develops this "scar tissue",
for lack of a better term, lol!
 

 I wanted to share with you some more lovely photos

from around the shop:

 

 

 

Very blanc et noir: 

 I thought this was a fun display

for chandelier crystals:

 

 

This is a fabulous pink headdress!

 

And I picked up one of these to sigh over:

 

 

I will be going back soon, because:

And...
I received these lovelies from my swap partner Becky
in the November Swap for All Seasons.

Thanks so much Becky!

Ocean Beach

Yesterday was a gloriously beautiful sunny day, and I headed down to Ocean Beach, with its shell shops, antique malls, and cute little boutiques to see what I could find for my vintage vacation swap partner.


I don't even know who my partner is yet, but I have a theme in mind, and I'm the kind of girl who takes a theme and runs with it! Well, I do not know how Vignettes--a fabulous shoppe stocked (a truly gauche term for the beautiful vignettes created by the various designer/dealers) with all manner of things vintage, French, shabby, sparkly, flowery, bejewelled--could have escaped my radar for so long!!


There are rooms and rooms of wonderful antique, vintage and handmade items, you can just breathe in the inspiration!

Regardez-vous:




I took the pics with my iPhone, so they don't really do justice to the soft vintage beauty of this shoppe. Can't wait to go back!!
And yes, I did find a little something for my swap partner! ;)
