WE dig Cloisonne

Cloisonné is an ancient technique for decorating metalwork objects, in recent centuries using vitreous enamel, and in older periods also inlays of cut gemstones, glass, and other materials. The resulting objects can also be called cloisonné. The decoration is formed by first adding compartments (cloisons in French[1]) to the metal object by soldering or adhering silver or gold wires or thin strips placed on their edges. These remain visible in the finished piece, separating the different compartments of the enamel or inlays, which are often of several colors. Cloisonné enamel objects are worked on with enamel powder made into a paste, which then needs to be fired in a kiln.

vintage & vines




wish we had remembered to take more pictures, but here is just a tiny peek at what was the first annual Vintage and Vines event at Oak Farm Vineyards in Lodi, Ca
it was a sweet little evening of fashion, local wines, and fresh appetizers.
 Sacramento was well-represented by three local boutiques (ours plus Vintage YSJ and Fringe) and a trio of bloggers (hey girls!). we had the pleasure of seeing a few of our regular shoppers and made many new friends, too.
the event is going annual, so we will keep you posted when another rolls around.
thank you to our lovely customer cheryl and Oak Farm Vineyards for inviting us to be a part of event!
