vintage Bridal Shower

      Bridal showers are a sweet celebration of love. We were honored to add elegant details for Kelsey's special day. Each person brought a favorite recipe to share with the bride and to go along with the recipe theme, everyone left with rosemary infused sea salts. The place settings adorned our vintage brooch napkin rings adding unique charm and pedestal milk glass bowls filled with hydrangeas cascaded down the center of the tables. Our hankie banner was used as a table runner! It's fun to see how people use our items in different ways. Kelsey was surrounded by family and friends, excited for the day that Kelsey and Aaron say 
"I DO"!

Orcutt ranch vintage wedding


It was the perfect day to marry your best friend.  A warm southern California summer's eve was the setting for this wonderful celebration at Orcutt Ranch. Chelsea and Josh were surrounded by their family and friends as they vowed to each other, and God, their commitment of marriage. The 1920's house and garden was a beautiful backdrop for Chelsea's vintage inspired accessories.  We had the privilege of being a part if their special day along side Lei-Ann from Happy Flowers, to create an intimate and romantic ambiance. We especially loved our new handcrafted cake stand made of old ceiling tiles adorned by a flawless cake and perfectly placed flowers.

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

vintage suitcases

some of our ivory suitcases
There is something so charming about an old suitcase. We can only imagine the adventures they have been on, what garments were packed in them, we are enchanted by the initials engraved ... my grandmother came to America from overseas with one suitcase holding ALL of her prized possessions. One suitcase full of hopes and dreams at the age of 20!


Suitcases are the perfect addition to create a romantic, nostalgic feel to your event. There are so many great ways to use them.  Here are some uses that I found on pinterest.  I love the way a beautiful cake looks resting on top of a vintage suitcase and of course we are a fan of using them for cards and love notes.  What other ideas do you have for them?
