A Special Gift for the Holidays is a custom gift basket from Vintages. We have a nice selection of baskets and you can fill it with just about anything in our store ... or we can do it for you. Once assembled we will fill it attractively, wrap it in shrink wrap and put a pretty bow on it. Here are a couple we have already made up ... these are available right now.

Over the years we have always walked beaches looking for interesting shells, sea glass and rocks. Shells are very location dependent ... need to have the right sea bottom to get these treasures washed up on the beach. Sea glass has almost disappeared from most beaches ... except for a few protected places. But interesting rocks are always cast about. Love to find them in varied colors or textures or shapes. Our personal favorite are heart-shaped rocks. Here's one we found out on Moonstone Beach in Cambria. Last Valentine's Day I created this little Coral Heart Sculpture for Susan. Just one of many ideas for using these precious stones creatively ... or just place them in a rock garden. Enjoy.

This cute little doll was hand made by Angela Steen, a Vintages' customer. The doll's dress is made from a piece of vintage lace that Angela picked up here at Vintages. Angela wrote: "Here's the doll that I made. You'll see the lace at the bottom of her dress was from your store!" Thank you Angela for sharing this with our followers. Another creative talent who shops at Vintages and repurposes vintage pieces into wonderful, imaginative hand made treasures.
