Introduction I am an event designer and florist living and working in Santa Barbara, California. I also own a fun vintage and Bohemian prop rental business called Vintage Vignettes which evolved from my design business (and my addiction to collecting vintage goodies).

I hope you enjoy perusing my myriad of goodies.

Do you believe that forks are evolved from spoons?

Actually, the other way around. I think all our hard, sharp edges are beautifully rounded and softened over time.
