From my very first conversation with Meryl Schoenbaum, Executive Editor of Romantic Homes Magazine, when she called the shop to talk about doing a feature in the February issue, we struck up an instant and beautiful comraderie that has led to a fabulous friendship. As I told her ~ she had me at “Hello”!
As we talked and I began mentioning my passions and interests, come to find out, many of them ~ were hers too!
From Coco Chanel, (that’s who she went as for Halloween ~ be still my heart!) to a shared love and collection of famous quotes, thoughts and writings, to sharing laughs over life’s twists and turns, to the fact that she is a phenomenal writer, I found a kindred spirit and began what will definitely be ~ a life-long connection with an amazing woman.
What followed after that is the wonderful “Shopkeeping” feature on Vignettes in the February issue of Romantic Homes, (Now on newsstands!) penned by my dear friend, Meryl. (My heart is bursting with pride) She captures the spirit and heartbeat of the shop so beautifully…but then again, of course she would. That’s the amazingly gifted and eloquent, delightful and endearing ~ Meryl.
And now, I’m thrilled to announce that Meryl will be our featured, VIP guest at Vignettes’ “Queen For A Day” Valentine Soiree on Saturday, February 11th. She will be doing a ‘Meet and Greet’ from 2:00 to 4:00 pm so everyone can meet, up close and personal, this petite dynamo and the Executive Editor of Romantic Homes, Cottages and Bungalows and Victorian Homes magazines!
It’s sure to be a day to remember and we hope you can attend!
Bonne St. Valentin!

Hi sweet Lori!
I hope you had a wonderful holiday...how exciting to have a write up on Vignettes in such a great magazine and to strike up a friendship too.
I am feverishly working on so many new ideas, and I hope to soon be advertising my towels and pillows in Romantic Homes :) we had a few sewing glitches in 2011, however we are back to our original sewing lady (aka) my Mom. We are ready to go full throttle in 2012 new ideas new images new beginnings.
I am going to see if I can get my friend to come down so we can go to your Valentine Soiree, I would love to see Joy & Robin as well.
Smiles,
Sheila

Love Meryl!!!
Congratulations Vignettes!!! I am so so excited for you. I will have to get a copy of the issue. I met Meryl last Saturday for the first time and she is the sweetest lady EVER! I wish I could be there February 11th but I will be hosting a Valentine Charlotte class at the house. I will be there in spirit Mon AMIE! Ciao Rita
I saw you in the magazine this morning while drinking my coffee! I was so excited for you. I just adore the store & can't wait for my Manni & suitcases to arrive. THANK YOU again for storing them. Can't wait to see what I MUST have when I come in May with Kim. Again... CONGRATS! HUGS!
When I received my Romantic Homes Magazine and started reading the article about Vignettes, I immediately emailed my friend and asked her if she wanted to be my Valentine and a Queen for a Day to visit your soiree. She immediately responded, yes. So looking forward to seeing you on February 11th and now an added bonus of meeting Meryl.
Meryl is a very charming person and Vignettes is my favorite inspirational shop. To think I'll be able to see both in one day will be heaven. I'll be there.
Love, Jody
Merci! For having Madame Meryl for the Party!
Sincerely,
Angie
