vintage typewriter


 I remember being a little girl, sitting in my grandpa's office typing away on his typewriter. I loved plucking the keys, writing little stories and using whiteout every two seconds! I have so many fond memories with my grandpa he was a technology guru who loved to teach me. I haven't typed in a long time ... that is until I found this beauty.  We are excited to share our new typewriters with you. They are adorable for a sign-in table at a wedding, anniversary party or even words of advice for the new mommy to be.   

I love milk glass! We have found so many beautiful pieces for events. I love the idea of a candy bar with all milk glass bowls overflowing with yummy treats as well as pedestal bowls filled with fresh flowers for centerpieces! We had a little photo shoot with these ideas in mind! Enjoy.

birthday blessing tea



We had the privilege to provide the ambiance for Kendal's 13th birthday blessing tea. A blessing tea is a coming of age celebration where beloved women affirm, encourage and advise the birthday girl about the upcoming stage of life. Kendal's blessing 
tea was a beautiful expression of femininity and elegance. She hand picked our vintage mismatched china, cake stands and details 
that made it so pretty! We loved her thoughtful heart - she's beautiful inside and out

Handmade Vintage Decor




   Imagine a world where women carry the most beautiful handkerchief in their purse, wearing a lovely flower brooch.  All these pieces have a personal story. Re-purposing vintage items is a creative way to add romance and a personal expression of you to your event. We had so much fun putting together these beautiful handmade accoutrements. 


   Our Vintage Handkerchief banner would be beautiful cascading from tree to tree or hanging over a dessert table.The miniature banners are a perfect embellishment for your sign in table, dessert bar, or as centerpieces. We have collected vintage enamel brooches and created the most exquisite napkin rings; a breathtaking personal touch for a bridal shower, birthday party or baby shower. I hope this inspires you!

Beautiful Vintage Franciscan China

I have had a long time love affair with Franciscan Desert Rose China ... when I was a teenager, my friend's grandmother lived in a great Hollywood Hills cliffhanger house that was grounded in 1930's decor - amazing! I fell in love with not just her house, but her china too and when it was my time to register for china, guess what ... Franciscan Desert Rose. It reminds me of tall trees, a cool Hollywood breeze and the romance of the 1930's. We have a lovely, large set of it for you to rent - perfect for a shower or a milestone birthday!  xo, Debbie
