Chic Happens!

I watched as people entered this magical shoppe.Their expressions were priceless as they stopped in the entryway to take it all in. So much to see and once again, Lori pulled it off in a way that no one else can. The 13th Anniversary Open House was a smashing success and I'm already looking forward to her Holiday Soiree in December!
Many in attendance drove all the way from Los Angeles to be here and it was well worth the effort. It was a great day for customers to personally meet the dealers from Vignettes. Lots of sold signs, sinful desserts, wine, champagne and great conversation. Enjoy the show!





Let Them Eat Cake!

Yes, this was a popular hangout..I consumed so many sweets, that I had a sugar buzz until midnight. Was it worth it? Of course! Lori unveiled her Vintage Home Couture line of furnishings and her fabulous seashell embellished pieces. Everyone loved her darling little black and white tees printed with "Chic Happens", which were an instant success! They were selling out before the day was over and I plan to order one myself. If you would like to order a t-shirt, just give the shoppe a jingle!

These two little pooches weren't for sale but they sure were so cute and fit right in. Do you remember a few posts back where I mentioned we would be making something from the antique crib? Well..the child's bench was made and it sold very quickly. I did manage to get a shot of it though, and wanted to share it with you. You can click on the image to enlarge.

Vignettes is open 7 days a week, so if you missed the open house, pop in for a visit. It's always a celebration at Vignettes!

You are not kidding, what a wonderful place. There is something in every nook and cranny!
The furniture is so beautiful. Your bench turned out really nice.
You did a great job. Boy, if I ever get that way, I'll have to put that on my "to do" list. What a fun shop to be a part of.
