A sprinkling of pretties...

Wild week - I'm glad it's behind me. I am going to be stocking shelves all weekend, including the online shelves and I wish I could see your expressions when you see the new beautiful things!
This week, the wings from the Maison section were big sellers - 2 large wings, and medium pair on the stand and 6 small pairs went flying out of here to their new homes.


The cross bottles have been flying out faster than I have been able to stock them, but I have just received a new ENORMOUS shipment of everything (whites, blues, ambers, shells, novelties, greens) that I am in the process of shooting pictures and putting them up on the site - as of right now, I have put up about 25 new white bottles in the Vintage Cross Bottle Collection, and am working on the blues --I'm going to leave you with a sneak peek of a few of them ....


Have a wonderful, wonderful, weekend, and be sure to peek in on the new things of Greyfreth online sometime on Sunday!

Something Old, Something New ...

If you've noticed the shelves are a little bare over in Cross Bottles - it's been very busy around here -- Over 100 bottles flew off our shelves this week! I received a shipment of white on whites and a small bit of colored cross bottles and .....some very special things that I will put up in their own section over the weekend!

Here's a little peek at the new things that I'm unpacking now:



If you are in the LA area out here in Southern California, head on over to Framm and Company located at 2667 Main Street in Santa Monica. (Cross street is Hill) They are carrying our bottles and not only have a gorgeous display of them, the shop is just magical! If you get up there, tell Framm and Lonnie I sent you!



Off I go to stock the white cross bottle pages - peek in over the weekend to see them and the new cross bottles!

Happy weekend!

More Beautiful Bottles...

Have been added to the White and Novelty Sections - they are STUNNING. Here's a peek:

Check out this brand new line of Crosses! You are the first to see them. Carved, silver-hued dogwood blooms and sinuous vinery have been oxidized to enhance the fine details. Each filigree style cross is centered with a semi-precious stone and soldered to a perfect vintage bottle. You can see them in both the white and Novelty sections of the Cross Bottles.

I love these - so organic and gorgeous.

Did you know that this swirl is one of the three oldest symbols in history? These gorgeous copper swirls embellish the new bottles in both the white and the Novelty collections.

Large and gorgeous stone discs of Polished semi-precious stone, Turquoise and Wavy Pink Rhodonite sit at the heart of these gorgeous bottles that just came in this weekend. I just love those Vintage Malted Milk Bottles!

Simple, classic and stunning. Don't you just want an entire garden of these bottle shown below?!

Head on over to the Novelty Collection and the White Bottles to see all the new additions -there are many. Be sure to click on the photos to enlarge them - they get huge!

I hope you're having a wonderful weekend!

Relics of the Seraphim

An angel, like a butterfly, knows it is a great privilege to fly

...even if only for a moment. -- unknown

I have a deep and profound love for certain ancient statues -- some I have seen with my own eyes, some through the eyes and lens of others.

The ones that speak to me are those forever frozen within a moment of grace and benevolence.




Such beauty with a hint of sadness - held to the earth by the weight of concrete - like fireflies trapped in a jar --



I always thought that many were just too beautiful to have come from imagination and as a child always wondered if there was indeed a gorgeous creature imprisoned within ... but knew that something of that amount of grace could never be held by anything of this earth - and so I romanticized that they would in their own time take to the heavens - leaving behind mementos of their time here.

Shedding their earthly costume - leaving behind treasures for those lucky enough to find them.

I was lucky enough to find them. You can be, too. These stunning carved and gilded wooden angel wings are reproductions of perfection mirroring their 19th century french antique model in 3 different sizes - from 18" to a glorious 8 feet tall. They are available online this week in the Maison section of Greyfreth and available for delivery in October.
