Fun Times

We finally finished all of our deliveries from the San Juan Bautista Antique Fair. We feel very grateful for the many people who stopped by our booth and cannot wait to get photos of the sold items up on our blog.
It is hard work to set up for shows and we couldn't do it without the help of Debi's son Patrick and his best friend Curt. They were so patient and built some sturdy grids.
We brought some of our lavender and homemade rose potpourri.
This is a close up of one of our sold "wiggle waggle" pieces.
Thank you again for all of your support!

Juli's Favorite

This is a very old window from the 1800s with all of the original hardware. We cleaned and conditioned the wood because we wanted to leave the original patina. We placed a signed Wedgwood dish in the center. click any picture to enlarge

There is a natural crackle with different specks of color that show through, it just so happens that there is a lovely greenish blue showing on the wood that matches the lovely Wedgwood. Sometimes, everything just falls into place. The original hinges are still connected to the frame. Every piece is one-of-a-kind and this will never be able to be duplicated. So special in person!
Available for $150.00. We are so busy creating for our upcoming Antique Fair show in San Juan Bautista on August 2nd, it is known for being a wonderful event so anyone within driving distance may want to spend the first Sunday of August in historic San Juan Bautista.

Wiggle Waggle - Part Deux

By popular demand, Debi and I just completed two larger wiggle waggles - both have stunning dishes. (click picture to enlarge)

This is an exquisite and delicate depression glass platter - pale green.

We featured the next dish in a previous post -
this was an expensive find at an antique store in Santa Barbara.

$275.00 each This one is SOLD
dejaviewdesigns@yahoo.com
Our windows are much more beautiful in person. I still struggle with photographing our work but hopefully, you can get the gist of our designs.

Fantastic Find!

This is one of our most fantastic treasures. This window is over 150 years old with TEN original panes in excellent condition. A very nice family in downtown Hollister has had this stored safely for years and years and phoned us after reading our newspaper article. (click to enlarge)

We used special care in cleaning, conditioning and treating this piece of art.

A Special Commission For A Special Little Girl

This is birthday present that was commisioned for an adorable 13 year old girl. She loves blues and purples and flowers.


Sophia Loren Scarlett O'Hara also likes this window.

More Client Photos

We LOVE to get pictures from our clients after they have hung their vintage window art in their homes.

This window has a lovely home on a ranch in Florida (central coast). A very nice gentleman fell in love with this piece while viewing our blog. We hope he enjoys it as much as we did making it.
Juli was actually going to keep this one because that center platter is TDF (to die for)!
The next two windows are on beautiful Lake Murray in South Carolina. We love the large picture windows to display the vintage window art:
This is the second window that they purchased. We are so very happy that they are happy!
They have a large cedar room that overlooks the lake. It looks beautiful!

The above is the highly collectible vintage dishware that we encircled with tons of glass beads that compliment the plate. $175.00
The above vintage candy dish is brilliant in person. It needed an elegant filigree design that ended up resembling a cross. $150.00
We got some absolutely lovely old redwood windows that are just spectacular. After cleaning and conditioning the wood, the windows could almost stand on their own they are so lovely. $175 for the floral SIX pane vintage window art.

Ornate Designs

We have many new designs that we are creating for the upcoming antique show in San Juan Bautista on August 2nd.
This is a beautiful depression glass platter/dish in peach/pink tones.

Here is a close-up of the beautiful dish:

Debi calls this one the "Taj Mahal" because it is the most ornate design we have done to date. I wanted to call it "10,000 Beads Under The Sea" because it took us FOREVER to complete. This window is from the oldest home known in Hollister, a contractor had saved it but offered it to us for sale because he thought we could make good use out of it.
The center dish/platter is a treasured find from an antique store in Santa Cruz.

This window is in excellent condition for being so very old and we just love the arch at the top. The window is 3 1/2 feet tall by 2 1/2 feet wide.
The pictures do NOT do this window justice. It is stunning in person!

Our Local Newspaper

Debi and I were so very fortunate to have our local newspaper feature us in their newest edition. Melissa Flores, who is one of the editors, did an excellent job of asking questions and translating that into a newspaper article. We are so very grateful and S.T.U.N.N.E.D that we are on the front page!

Elegant Twists

We have been working non-stop since we got our latest amazing windows from the house in Hollister that was built in 1882, they are in such good shape and that old wavy glass is something that we admire so much. We never know how a window will turn out until we lay a particular vintage dish down and let it "speak to us". All of these windows are about the same size. We were going to name this post "A Thousand Glass Beads" because that's what it felt like when we started gluing everything. (click any picture to enlarge)

The above window has a gorgeous depression glass dish paired with the clear glass beads which will go with almost any decor.
Loopty Loop Lovliness is happy. That dish wanted to be the center of attention.
The above depression glass dish is really beautiful when light hits it - the details in these old dishes is really a work of art in and of itself. We love being able to show off those gorgeous designs from the 1930s and 1940s.

We are so very excited to get such great old windows, we just love designing our vintage window art.

Each of these windows are available for $175. each.

Working On Our Loot

This is another "Flower Power" that we just designed. Our first one sold rather quickly so we were able to design another one. Here is Debi setting it up for it's photo shoot:

Flower Power is Available for $150.00. - ETA: SOLD!
This is where we lay out designs on a white tablecloth. You can see our bins of glass beads. After laying out the design, we start gluing. We have to be outside because the glue we use needs ventilation. We then CAREFULLY move the piece inside to dry flat for 24 hours. Only then, can we see it vertically and photograph it:

Our newest windows are in excellent condition and only require a fresh coat of paint. We are painting half of them white and the other half will be black.
Juli's favorite is this fantastic find - it came from the oldest home that was ever built in Hollister - a nice contractor had saved it for himself but allowed us to purchase it because he heard what we were doing with old windows and he wanted it to be useful. It is 3 1/2 ft. high by 2 1/2 ft wide and we have had a special platter that will be perfect. We are designing it before the paint is even dry we are so excited! This is the window after one coat of paint, obviously, before it is cleaned.

We are hoping to get the design finished this afternoon so we can photograph it tomorrow.

Our Mascot and Our Work Station

We have had an amazing last few days and have sold and shipped out eleven of our windows which left us with less than twenty completed and available windows. We're not complaining but we have an upcoming antique show in San Juan Bautista on August 2nd so we need to build up our inventory. Although, Juli's husband rather enjoys having his deck back to normal when we have no windows, our mascot likes it when we are all outside and working.

No sooner had we mentioned that we needed some luck finding 1800s windows, than our phone rang and it was a local contractor who was remodeling a home in Hollister that was built in 1882. He even removed them for us and helped us load them into our car. This is our late Friday afternoon loot before pressure wash and paint job:

This is our mascot, Sophia Loren Scarlett O'Hara protecting our supplies: We have a collection of A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. vintage dishes that we found on our antique hunt in Cambria and Paso Robles last week. Here are some of our favorites:

Next week we will be busy bees and will be posting our newest creations. We are so excited!!!
