Scenes from a Soiree








It was such a fascinating experience to watch all the creative designer/geniuses at work & then to couple that with the bounty of decor & décorative accessories that had been brought in, just for this event - It was truly Ooh La La to the max everywhere you looked!
With so much talent & so much amour under one roof -
we didn’t want the day to end!
Azucar’s decadently dangerous, red velvet cupcakes were most defini a hit out of the culinary ballpark!
Let’s just say that no one can stop at one!
If you weren’t able to make it - We have beautiful,
time-worn & hand-crafted objects coming in daily
just for vous…Fabulous finds waiting to grace your
maison et jardin.
Here comes spring mes amies -
AND
BIG NEWS
right around the corner
Stay Tuned.

BIJOUX REDUX Petit Trunk Show


Our enchanting Petit Trunk Show on Valentine’s Day features the uber talented, design duo of Janice Joseph & Barbara Lunger; the forces behind the exquisitely beautiful collection, that is - “Bijoux Redux”.
Vignettes is honored to debut Bijoux Redux to the monde & on Valentine’s Day, they will unveil their charming new line of 14K gold & sterling silver love tokens for an exclusive first look.
Translated from French, Bijoux (bee zhoo), refers to a “delicate trinket”, a small jewel or ornamental object & Redux (ree duks), describes something “revived” or brought back, especially in being restored to former importance or prominence.
In this spirit, antique collectors & jewelry designers, Janice & Barbara have created a collection of custom jewelry joining beloved, sentimental items from the past with equally treasured & valued elements from the present.
The antique & vintage, 14k & sterling silver elements; lockets, charms, coins, crosses, medals & fobs presented in this collection are thoughtfully gathered, designed & fabricated into one-of-a-kind: Necklaces, Bracelets & Earrings.
In their revived form, these unique pieces are once again destined to become treasured tokens of love & true sentimental objects of affection.
We hope you’ll join us for this Tres Magnifique, Petite Trunk Show & meet the talented design duo behind Bijoux Redux.
Janice & Barbara prove that vintage style iconicity & soaring talent are an irresistible combination.

ARTISTE SPOTLIGHT






Robin Reynolds Mckeirnan of
I’ve known her for over twenty years & whenever we’d run into each other around town she was always working on one fabulous project or another, or just finishing a photo shoot of her work for one of the major magazines.
Then, finally, the moon & the stars aligned & she officially came on board here at the shop, &, drum roll please, she is now designing our front windows! Ta-Dah! Mademoiselle has arrived!
She specializes in custom couture sewing for the home & her work is part genius, part Edith Head & ultimately – luxe, fabric fantasies made to order that beautifully adorn the maison. Her work exudes refined detailing, old world craftsmanship & bespoke tailoring at every corner. From linen, burlap & French ticking to haute couture satin & dupioni silks, she takes fabric on a magically creative, millinery carpet ride that transforms it into high-style fashion for every room of the house.
Her rich, on-trend repertoire includes:
Pillows in every style imaginable; hand-screened, silk-screened & monogramed; Complete ensemble bedding for the ultimate boudoir; Window treatments from elaborate ballroom to stylized European; Fabric headers, valances & headboards; & Slipcovers extraordinaire, tout avec a sophisticated twist of piping, pleating, edging, layering or that red hot look of can-can ruffles.
I think it’s safe to say that if you can dream it, she can create it for you!
We hope you’ll come & meet her at our Valentine Soiree on
Sunday, February 14 th,
& any time you’re in the area, be sure & check out her fabuleux, themed, front window displays…
There’s toujours millinery magique a voici!
