La Caille Bridal Show 2012

Thanks to everyone who helped make the bridal show go smoothly.  It was so much fun to get the company's name out and meet brides face to face.  I loved being able to talk with brides specifically about what things in our inventory they love and what items they are still on the hunt for that we haven't found quite yet.  :)  We are getting there!  This was motivation for me to get out there and meet more of you with that "vintage flare" and to get even more unique items for the future!  Thanks again to everyone who helped!  I love you all!

Vintage Baby Photos

Earlier today we did a shoot for one of the cutest babies ever!  Paisley is turning one and we wanted to share some of the pictures from our shoot with you.  Vintage decoration isn't meant just for one type of an occasion... like a wedding.  Here you can see we had fun with antiques in more than one way.  So get creative and give us your ideas.  What would you use our antiques for?  Happy Birthday Paisley!

Vintage Groomals

I have been waiting what seems like years for these pictures... I have been THAT excited!  My mom was my assistant on this trip to a great photo shoot. (Thanks Mom!)  We collaborated with Chelsy Ann Photography to get these amazing pictures!  She has great connections as well which leads us to our great models and hair and make up stylist.  We had so much fun showing off one way to use the over sized mailbox.  This item is perfect for cards at a wedding.  We also wanted to show off the cutest red bike.  If I could use this in a photo shoot or wedding every day, it would never get old.  This is a new trend I have started to see and so of course I instantly decided... Odds and Ends needs a bike. This shoot shows off some of the new bigger pieces too.... do you remember me saying that I had found some new things but they needed a bit of TLC?  Well here they are, and they look good as new if I do say so myself.  The couch and chair in this shoot are over 70 years old.  You may be wondering how I know this... it's all in the details my friend.  Ask me what they are sometime and I will give you a list of things you will see in a piece that sets you back to at least 1940.  I would like you to know anything that is fabric based you rent from our company will always be shampooed or deep steam cleaned first.  I am one who has witnessed first hand what a mess some things can leave on a white wedding dress.  We also polish all wood finishes and fix anything else which is in need of repair.  I am proud to say that the couch and chair are my new favorites and have had lots of love put into them.  We hope to get up more larger pieces like these in the future to expand a bit more of what we offer.  Keep a look out for more larger seating in the future!  So please enjoy the pics below and all the ones which will be up on the site with our new items for rent.  AND thank you again to everyone who helped pitch in to make this shoot a success.  Enjoy!

80 Item Mark



We have reached a big milestone... 80 items are up on the site for rental.  WOOOOOOHOOOOOOO!  But this doesn't mean the company is done expanding... oh no... this is motivation to find even more unique pieces.  I want to find antiques that sets your event or photo shoot apart from the rest.  There are also great larger items I want up as soon as possible.  I just have to wait patiently for some of the wonderful photographers I have worked with to do what they do best and get them to me.  But no worries, once I get my excited little hands on these pictures they will be up on the site for rental.  Keep an eye out for more posts this month as more items and photo shoots are displayed on the site!  Thanks for being patient the last few weeks as we get things all put together!
