Cross Bottle Restock Begins ... finally.

2012-01-21T14:02:00.000-08:00

Finally is right.It's been awhile!

Several new small and medium bottles have been uploaded into the White Cross Bottle Collection -

I have made and am making many more - including our favorite - the big crosses on leaded crystal decanters. I will be adding them regularly to the cross bottle sections -- so keep checking in.

I don't do a lot of cobalt blue - so for those cobalt fans, I'm pleased to tell you that several of those are going up in the Blue Cross Bottle Section, today, as well.

Stay tuned...

As we move into the new year, may beauty, peace, joy, prosperity and goodness surround us all.

Thank you for traveling with me through this year. A year which proved more difficult for everyone due to my battle with illness which had an adverse effect on the shop and productivity. Your patience, love, and continued support of Greyfreth, my dream, - in spite of that - means more to me than you will ever know. Happy New Year!

Here is to the best year yet for us all.

To accommodate our clients who emailed and called us, we are re-posting the Maison inventory page so that the items in stock can be accessed while we restock the new items. New items will be uploaded almost every day through Christmas, so be sure to check back. We hope that you are enjoying your holiday season, & we thank you for making us a part of it.

The small gilded wooden Angel wings are back in stock in the Masion Section
and are available for immediate shipping.

Please note that if you purchasing the the Medium (5 foot) or the Large (8 foot) wings, they require special packing which is done out of house and the 8 foot pairs require Freight shipping, so if you order them now, please realize, especially during our busiest time of year, that they can take up to 6 weeks to be delivered and will not be to you by Christmas. The small pairs, however, are boxed and ready to go and will be to wherever you wish them to go in plenty of time to be nestled under the tree before Christmas.

Look for new items uploaded tomorrow.

Phoenix Rising...

2011-12-01T13:07:00.000-08:00

I am popping in from the studio for a quick note to let you know that we will be begin uploading beauties into Greyfreth starting MONDAY, DECEMBER 5th! and will continue through the 18th. Plenty of time to peruse the magical goodies and get them to yourself or your loved ones by Christmas.

The elusive wings arrived today. Finally! For those of you waiting, your wings of gilded goodness will packed this weekend and be on their way to you first thing Monday morning.

Back to the studio I go.

Treasures of Stunning Ambers and Ethereal Whites

2011-10-24T22:10:00.000-07:00

I just put up some really special pieces in the Cross Bottle section in both the Ambers and the Whites.

A handful of these pieces are made with bottles that were shipwreck finds and are beyond stunning. They are extraordinarily special. You can see the patina on the shoulders in one of the photos below.Take a peek, and if they sing to your heart, don't wait on them.

The shipwreck bottles are like none I have seen, and are one of a kind. Once they are gone... they are gone.

I am presently working on more cross bottles (many, many more) and will be uploading them regularly in all sections. I'll keep you updated.

Those waiting on the wings and baskets and other back ordered lovelies to return to stock in the Maison section, they are coming. The line is long and we keep getting bumped. Bigger fish apparently needing frying. I'm as anxious as you are to see them return and have tripled my order to move us up, and to have more on hand so hopefully there won't be a wait like this again. On a good note, however, I have some incredible one of a kind antique treasure that will be uploaded over in the Maison section this week.

Happy week ahead.

Jewelry With Soul...

2011-10-18T19:20:00.000-07:00

As promised, treasures are finally beginning to fill up the empty spaces around here -- today it was our jewelry section that felt the love! We think that you will feel it too when you see some of these amazing pieces of wearable art created from rare, soulful remnants of the past as well as a few gorgeous reproduction pieces --

Take a look at these antique French rosaries .... look at that antique French Notre Dame de Lourdes mother of pearl reliquary.... be still my heart.

or this rare 19th c. Sterling French Ex Voto suspended from dove grey freshwater pearls with Czech glass accents...

... or this piece made from an ex voto which was part of Marial Congres in 1938. 200,000 people attended this historic religious event in Boulogne sur Mer, France. Heart ex votos, including the one used in this necklace, adorned the Basilica, clinging to the fishing nets in long strings along the walls and tops.

There is so much love and history behind them -- they are such romantic pieces to me. They make my knees go weak! We put up 8 new pieces in the Jewelry Section today and hope that you love them as much as we do.

Tomorrow - we'll start filling in some cross bottles!

The Greyfreth Sanctuary Collection

2011-10-17T11:03:00.000-07:00

I have a love, bordering on obsession, with religious artifacts and art. There are few things in this world more beautiful to me. Rich in history, inspiration and unparalleled artistry, well, it is like the song of the siren to me - it pulls on my heart and each treasure I find thrills me to no end.

I have four very special finds to herald the opening of our Sanctuary Collection section. Three are listed, and the fourth will be up, probably tomorrow. These gorgeous pieces are wearable works of art as well as pieces of beautiful pieces of history.

ANTIQUE SAINTS RELIQUARY No. 1

Hand Painted Double-Sided Relic with the Infant of Prague and Our Lady of Guadalupe

Side No. 1 Infant of Prague

Side No. 2 Our Lady of Guadalupe

Side View

This is a beautiful dual-sided reliquary item with original antique paintings within. These are one a kind miniature paintings that were created by hand over a century ago. The works of art are displayed on either side of this particular piece behind glass and framed in Sterling Silver -- one side showcases the hand-painted image of the Infant of Prague and the other side, the hand-painted image of Our Lady of Guadalupe.

These images were painted directly on a copper "canvas" by cloistered nuns for their patrons as gifts. These paintings are said to have been painted in the presence of the actual image (a statue or a painting) and as such, as considered to be "relics".

Whether you consider this a "relic" or not, it is a spectacular piece of art and of history.

There are three other similar pendants available - two have a painting on each side, the other two have one each.They all were obtained from a private collector's estate, who restored the antique paintings in 1960. The bales and the glass are not original to these pieces of art, but were added to better protect them from time and the elements. These paintings are now encased in sterling silver and glass.

We invite you to visit the our Sanctuary Collection and view our first listings. If you are interested in them, we strongly suggest that you don't wait on getting the one that speaks to you because these treasures are all original, antique, one of a kind, very special pieces, and it is unlikely that we will ever get any more.

We have cross listed them in the jewelry section, and more jewelry is being listed today. I will try to get to the Cross and Sea Life pieces today if time permits, but more than likely those sections will begin being restocked tomorrow.

Happy Monday.

The Heart of the Matter

2011-10-14T12:02:00.000-07:00

I Have Fallen....and I'm still trying to get up... and running. again.
8 grueling months of chemotherapy has taken a huge toll on me....

Today, I noticed my follower list -- there are 153 of you that publicly follow along on my shop blog. I have no idea how many of you are privately following along on my journey, but I am just gobsmacked and grateful that so many of you have stuck with me. I feel guilty that I haven't kept up with all that I have taken on as well as I should, but I have gone from perfectionist to "I am doing my best, and my best is going to have to be good enough for now" over these past 18 months or so. We moved. We have been doing countless and exhausting renovations. We opened a business. We built a studio. We swam through the heart wrenching waters of a troubled times with a teenager, and I have been nursing a broken heart over a betrayal from what I thought to be a close blog friend, and the biggest derailer of all, I have just suffered through 8 grueling months of intense chemotherapy. It's been a lot. I have not weathered it well.

None of this is meant as an excuse in any way -- just an explanation for the sporadic presence and slow down in general.

With all of that behind us, and for a better present and future, I have been on a path to simplify, and it's coming along, but there is still a lot of behind the scenes work that has been going on and continues. I think you are going to be very pleased with the results.

Starting at the end of the weekend, look to the sea life and cross bottle sections for new pieces, the jewelry section for new lovelies, and some beautiful new treasures to the Maison section.

Look for regular listings, postings & changes (lots of changes!) now and I apologize for being so slow on many things lately, but I really am doing my best. Your kind emails, your support and your patience and grace are appreciated more than you will ever know.

Inbound Treasures...

2011-08-22T17:18:00.000-07:00

Slated for the Maison section this week!
Take a peek at a few of the gorgeous things I have for you...

Treasures stacked up in my Studio waiting their turn to be photographed and uploaded into the Maison section.

I have so, so, so much to show you! Things from the Studio... Found pieces, antique mirrors from France... antique industrial gesso molds ... all lovely in the extreme! Can someone please send me some extra hours for each day, there clearly isn't enough for me to get everything done as fast as I would like.

Look for new treats all over the shop later in the week!

All but one of the brand new "Night Sea Collection" pieces sold within 24 hours of listing them - you all amaze me with your love of my artwork, and I cannot express in words just how much I appreciate it. Every sea life piece, every cross bottle I make, I make from my heart, and I truly thank you for all of your kind words and support.

Off I go.

The Dreamy World of Faded Silver and Ethereal White...

2011-08-15T14:23:00.000-07:00

Pieces from the Night Sea Collection by Isabeau Grey

Queen of the night sky --
the mysterious and lovely moon
spreads her veil of soft silvery light
quietly over the dark sea...

The crests of the waves, the sand on the shore, and the beautiful pearlescent shells take on a magical quality within the ethereal light of the moon.

Evenings at the shoreline turn to night, and still we linger before walking home - not wanting to miss any of the quiet dance of moonlight.

The night sea under a full moon is my latest inspiration in the studio -- white gifts of the sea embellished with chandelier crystals and antique silver that has tarnished beautifully over time - hoping to capture the beauty of sea life down at the shore bathed in soft luminescence under the silvery moon and crystalline stars.

I have begun uploading pieces HERE and will continue through the week.
The Night Sea Collection.
Enjoy.

Time Waits For No Man....

2011-05-04T18:28:00.000-07:00

So it's a good thing I am not a man...

First of all, I want to thank you all for your patience and incredible loyalty through this insanely busy behind the scenes time period. There is so much going on, so let's get right to it!

I am very excited to share that our new websites for the store and wholesale site for the studio are close to being launched. We are happy to now have the very talented Shari Miller on board with us and she has taken charge of this huge job. Things will now be moving quickly in that area under her very capable and creative charge. Welcome Shari and thank you!!

Next - our little Greyfreth mascots (read about them HERE) that came to us in the middle of the night several weeks ago are no longer stowaways in the Studio... they are now being fostered through Helen Woodward Animal Center out in Rancho Santa Fe, and although bittersweet, we are happy because it really is best for everyone. Three weeks of bottle feeding the sweet little runt, Rikki every 2 hours took its toll on my ability to work, and got me very attached to that little guy and the entire feline family. Go figure - not being a cat person... I really did fall in love with them and wanted what was the very best for them. So.... anyone in Southern California that thinks their life would be made brighter by the company of a sweet and adorable kitten or a gorgeous calico momma cat - the Greyfreth bunch will be available for adoption through Helen Woodward starting next week or so! You can look for them (Rikki, Tikki, Tavi, Ophelia, Bear, Boingo, and Momma Kitty)HERE.

I am finishing up a few big orders in the studio for some of my retailers and for Mary - patient Mary - lover of horses and I am finishing up the last of some really beautiful things for the online shop, which should be up for you this weekend.

I have some stunning ancient treasures and new beautiful finds for both the new Sanctuary section and the jewelry section....

And, if that wasn't enough, we are in the middle of procuring a new showroom location, but more on that later!

Look for new treasures uploaded throughout the weekend.

And I'm off to try and squeeze more out of this afternoon... Anyone know where I can get a few more hours? So much to do... so little time.

Enjoy the day!

Treasures

2011-04-07T23:32:00.000-07:00

Here they come.

Looks like, finally a clear path ahead (please don't let me just have jinxed myself!) - last week we had an unexpected visitor-turned resident come to the studio under the cloak of night and claim the corner behind my stack of wicker baskets and have kittens. You can read more about that adventure and what has kept us busy and very distracted HERE

Now that we have that under control and everyone is comfy and happy, we can get back on track --

I am starting a new section with reliquaries, old church finds, altar crosses, and things of that nature soon - but for the moment, I have parked some gorgeous blessing crosses in the white cross bottle section.

I spent a good deal of today loading in some small and medium white cross bottles -

I have made so many, but ran out of hours today. Tomorrow look for more mediums

and I'll move into the larges, and I have some gorgeous extra large ones, too - so, over the next few days, they will be pouring into the site.

Many things for the Maison section, I should get a few up tomorrow --

Tassels in two sizes...

Crowns, wings, baskets, bread boards ... well, you'll just have to come see.

Thanks for your patience.

Isa Time...

2011-03-25T14:55:00.000-07:00

Is always out of sync with reality! We're busy behind the scenes, and very excited about what is taking place and up and coming. I just wish there were more hours in the day.

We're postponing the update until the weekend of April 1st - April 3rd.

Please check back, then.

Cheers!

Hard Hat Area...

2011-03-20T16:06:00.000-07:00

I am always so overly optimistic when it comes to a time frame because I am so excited about the upcoming items, website, changes - all while they are in the idea stage. I never plan for the bumps, delays technical glitches and the kinks that are just part of life.

There are many wonderful things ahead, so we are putting our superhero capes on the coat tree, and pulling the curtain while we work and restock.

Check towards the end of the week.

...in Isa time.

Hope that you are having a lovely, lovely weekend.

See you in a bit!

New Goodies...

2011-03-10T17:02:00.000-08:00

A few small beauties have been uploaded into the white cross bottle section and we will continue loading in more small, some new, beautiful, antique altar crucifixes, and some large crystal cross bottles over the weekend...

unless, of course, we get flooded (again) or lose our electricity because of the storms, our current construction that is underway, or any of these other crazy, off the wall, circumstance that has been barreling down the pike here lately... (Auntie Em, auntie Emmmmmm!)

These lovely gifts from the sea are just out of the studio and freshly shelved in the Sea Life Section for you.

and I have some new and beautiful other surprises that are waiting their turn... along with the beauties in the maison section... so much to do, so little time!

Introducing - Pieces of the Past...

2011-03-04T00:01:00.001-08:00

The wait is almost over.

showcasing
a stunning new line of one-of-a-kind jewelry.

...and available to you - beginning with necklaces - uploading throughout today.

Enjoy!

Ring in....

2011-03-03T08:43:00.000-08:00

Okay, so not that sort of ring... but rings nonetheless. Beautiful and special rings being created for Greyfreth...

Please help me in choosing the ring sizes for our new Jewelry section by participating in the poll on the side bar to the left. The poll will be active for the next week and will end on March 10. Your input is greatly appreciated, and I thank you kindly.

Be sure to check in on the shop over the weekend and many, many new items come rolling in...

Behind the Curtain

2011-02-26T10:05:00.000-08:00

Sorry to keep you waiting...

We are so busy behind the curtain with exciting things to come, but we haven't forgotten about the dwindling shelves -- a major restock is slated in all sections beginning Friday, March 4th. Hope to see you then!

Enjoy your weekend

Tactile Heaven

2011-02-16T14:45:00.000-08:00

If you are anything like me, texture is a magical thing. Add timeworn, faded and natural beauty in the mix and it is beyond words. So, I just had to stop what I was working with in the studio and go get the camera so I could share this insane beauty with you.

Enjoy.

What will these all become? Stay tuned...

Soft Winter Whites, Faded Golds and Tarnished Silver...

2011-02-10T07:57:00.002-08:00

Lots of new and gorgeous pieces have come out of the studio,

and some finds from scouring my usual haunts for beautiful things for the rest of the shop will be sprinkled throughout most sections of Greyfreth beginning today and will continue throughout the entire weekend.

Be sure to check in and claim your favorites, because most are one of a kind and once they are gone... they are gone forever.

Enjoy the day!

GIfts from the Sea...

2011-01-31T14:47:00.000-08:00

Are trickling into the Sea Life Section...

In gorgeous hues .... fiery reds, smoldering oranges, dusky plum, sea salt white - all framed out in solder reminiscent of weathered iron -- just beautiful.

All are looking their best, hoping to wind up as as someone's Valentine...

Lots of new things popping up this week - I'm also digging into the Maison section and doing some major overhauling and stocking... stay tuned!

Silver Bells

2010-12-16T04:44:00.000-08:00

Well, okay - silver bottles! New bottles, including the ones below, along with more large, ornate crosses on crystal decanters will be up this evening:

Beautiful crosses of crystal atop rare mercury glass apothecary bottles from the 1800s, antique leather decanters from Spain, and unearthed bottles over a century old have been created, along with several other large, ornate crosses on crystal decanters and will be added to the mix tonight.

We are working like mad and new beauties will be popping up throughout each day over this weekend, and our faithful FEDEX home delivery elves can get any order placed by noon on the 23rd to you or your lucky recipient by Christmas Eve.

Back to the workshop I go... Fa la la la la

Warm beautiful amber cross bottles are up.

New Ambers

Medium crystal and small pewter cross bottle are now available in the Amber section. Click on the photo below to be taken directly to the page.

.... working on updating the sea life now....

A sprinkling of treasures

2010-12-03T13:55:00.001-08:00

Shop Update:

We just uploaded this group of cross bottles in the white section. They are available and if you click on the photo, it will take you directly to them.

We are still playing catch up over the corrupt photo file and reshooting and uploading as fast as we can -- here is how it looks like it's going to go:

Today -- we uploaded a group of small to medium white cross bottles already today and will be uploading more medium and large cross bottles there tomorrow and then again on Sunday, around the same time, both days. (Around 1pm) We are also uploading some sea life which will be available later this afternoon.

Tomorrow: We'll continue to load in some more mediums and possibly some large white cross bottles around 1pm, and more sea life in the late afternoon and evening. We will also begin uploading Amber and blue cross bottles.

Sunday it will be more of the same - adding to each section of the cross bottles and sea life. Sunday night and into Monday, we will be updating the Maison section, and will continue to add new items, including a sprinkling of holiday beauties in all sections all the way through to Christmas.

So, look to each section daily this weekend and every other day or so beginning next week and continuing until Christmas!

We will be shipping up through December 23, so there is plenty of time to get Greyfreth treasures to all of your loved ones!

Joy to all,
Isa

Non-black Friday!

2010-12-01T09:18:00.000-08:00

We have been doing battle with technical difficulties but we won the war.

Due to things out of our control, we were not able to be online or upload the new items on Friday -- we are having to reshoot each item and will upload them beginning Friday the 3rd and everyday following until they are all up. Thank you for your kind emails and your patience in waiting for us!

See you on the 3rd!

Restocking, rearranging, reopening on Black Friday! (November 26)

2010-11-16T09:11:00.000-08:00

While things have been seemingly quiet around here, behind the curtain has been in full swing. The day that our Fall Collection was put into the showroom, it was completely bought out before it could even get photographed for the online shop. To keep that from happening again with the Holiday collection, we are not doing any 'trickle in' stocking in the showroom nor online -- it will all be unveiled at the same time. Black Friday.

So, back I go to working on the finishing touches on the next (enormous)restock, including the beginnings of the holiday collection (which will be continuously stocking), and will reopen the day after Thanksgiving - Black Friday - November 26 with a showroom and online shop filled to the brim with your old favorites and many, many new and beautiful treasures!

Until then -- Happy Thanksgiving, happy Autumn, happy everything!

Changes

2010-09-30T10:35:00.000-07:00

The one thing that is constant is change. The irony isn't lost on me -
nor is the beauty lost on me which unveils throughout the changing of the season -

I love Autumn.

I love everything about it.

Not that we get this sort of dramatic change here in Coastal Southern California --

But there is change. You just have to pay close attention.

The air is crisper, the sky seems bigger, the sun, more gentle, the clouds - amazing.

Change - it feels good. Along with the season, changes are coming here at Greyfreth, too.

The Greyfreth 2010 Autumn Collection begins unfolding October 8 (changed from the 1st).

Come be part of it.

New cross bottles are up

2010-09-02T07:28:00.000-07:00

I uploaded a dozen or so beautiful cross bottles last night in the white collection
and will be working on the sea life (and hopefully a few blues and amber cross bottles) over the weekend. It's always a surprise.

Enjoy!

A few new gifts from the sea...

2010-08-06T17:26:00.000-07:00

I just finished these last night and they are now available in the Sea Sculpture section.
More are right behind them and will up sometime this weekend.

If time permits a slew of new treasures will appear in the Maison section, too... we shall see... time - it is spinning so quickly lately. TOO quickly!

Enjoy the weekend

Dreams and Visions Take Time...

2010-08-01T17:00:00.000-07:00

It has been quiet around here, and most especially in the Maison and Brocante sections, I know, but worry not -
I'm not asleep at the wheel...

All the while that my body was so sick, my mind was still dreaming away. I've been busy contemplating, creating and now that I'm feeling better - hunting for new dreamy items to bring you. I have to say I hit the mother lode in treasures, and over the next week gorgeous new things will be trickling into all sections and areas of the shop.

Speaking of shops - big changes are coming to my online world and I'm very excited about it, but for now mum's the word.... it's going to be a surprise.... In more shop news, I've been busy with a handful of new and gorgeous shops that I feel so honored to be working with. Their shelves are now filled with Greyfreth creations. More on this later.

I hope you are having a perfect weekend - doing exactly what you want and surrounded in beauty. Stay tuned...

Summertime.... and the living is easy.

2010-07-02T20:44:00.000-07:00

Breezy, beautiful, new sea life items are starting to make their way into
the Greyfreth Gifts from the Sea section

Many new pieces are up and more will continue to show up throughout the weekend - here's a peek at what was put up today.

In addition to the sea life, I'll be working on the white cross section tonight, but new items will probably not be up until tomorrow... stay tuned.

I hope you have fun plans for the weekend!

Time Flies

2010-06-26T01:53:00.000-07:00

I wish there was more time in each day - but as they say, if wishes were horses, dreamers would ride! I am still shooting the new treasures, which are piled up and patiently waiting their turns before the camera... and so it's going to be another day or so before they are up online.

Here's a little sneak peek of a few small goodies in the meantime --

Off I go to finish up!
Enjoy your weekend

New Dreamy Cross Bottles are up...

2010-05-25T11:46:00.000-07:00

in the white section today - and more are coming as fast as I can get them photographed.... Here's a peek at what's up as of now --

I have more whites, ambers, blues, greens and sea life fresh out of the studio that will be popping up online this week as time allows - I also have many things to add to the Maison section, and I need to go help my shipping department who seem to be in the weeds. So much to do... so little time... so off I go!

I hope your week is off to a good and beautiful start.

The White Rabbit and I...

2010-05-18T11:46:00.000-07:00

seem to always be running behind schedule and singing our theme song of
"I'm late, I'm late..."

We have just been slammed with the good and the not so good around here - the effects of all the outrageous storms, flooding and the economy have come to the front and center here at Greyfreth. The boats don't ship without full cargo, the pallets don't get loaded until they are filled, and the freight trucks don't move until they, too, are filled to capacity.

As a result - things are taking longer, but worth the wait. ...until the storms damaged an entire pallet of wood items. Yep - an entire shipment of my wings, breadboards,and some of the dough bowls - ruined. For those of you who have been waiting patiently - thank you for your patience and grace. It's been ... interesting, to say the least - and for a perfectionist like me - it's given me my first grey hairs. I hate delays.

In other news -- I have many things to upload and a truckload of new things should be arriving in the next week or so - so keep your eyes peeled for new beauties.

In cross bottle and sea life news - I just finished a huge order for a fabulous store that will be opening at the end of the month up in the big sky country. I couldn't be more excited, or love that store more if it were my own! Everything they are going to carry made my heart just stop -- magical, beautiful, and so unique. Once they are opened, I'll steer you in their direction!

Bottles from our Leather, Amber, and White collections.

I am going to be working this week on refilling the cross bottle and sea life shelves online. Thank you for being such wonderful customers and for all of your purchases. I'm racing to keep up! You are definitely keeping me on my toes.

There is just something about starfish to me -- and on the bottles they look as though they were caught in the midst of dancing - piroiting - full of joy. They make me happy.

My new batch of seashell bottles and sculptures are being uploaded in the Sea Life Section this weekend - several starfish and hauntingly beautiful sea fans are already up. Look for many other gifts from the sea arriving online over the weekend.

2 if by sea....

2010-04-29T12:51:00.000-07:00

Vroom. Another week has flown by. My birthday came and went - 40 is closer and closer, but I have decided that I will never let it in. That is the wish that hovered over my twinkling candles upon my beautiful birthday cake... I will celebrate my 39th birthday again next year and every year from now on. Yep. Sounds like a plan.

I have been heavily focused on the sea this week -- tourist season officially begins on Saturday -- my little quiet beach life turns into something else -- nice in its own way, but noisy and crowded nonetheless. So I turn to the quiet beauty found in the depth of my beloved sea...

A sneak peak of a few of the many things I've just made which are making their way to the Greyfreth Collection of Sea Life and sculptures throughout the weekend ahead....

Lovely seafans imbued in the gorgeous hues that hide under the sea.

Here's to a lovely weekend for us all.

There and back again...

2010-04-23T15:02:00.000-07:00

I have been moving at a snail's pace for the last few weeks as I have been wrestling with a bout of pneumonia. I apologize for the lack of updates and for the slow pace. I have turned the corner, feel better, so expect lots of updates on the site this weekend.

Be well!

Silvers.... lovely antique silver candlesticks find new purpose

More of these to come.. but for now, you can find this antique silver, altar style cross here.

The gorgeous silver candlesticks, time worn and lovely in their patina aren't limited to the crosses.... oh far from it. I have been busy, busy, busy....

This stunners will be up in the sea life sculpture, and cross bottle sections over the next few days.

I hope that you love them as much as I do.

Green Grow the Rushes....

2010-03-24T13:16:00.001-07:00

A little late for St. Patrick's Day, and a few days past the first day of Spring... but still undeniably lovely, no matter the day or the occasion --

I am happy to report that
The Green Cross Bottle section of Greyfreth is restocked.

Something Beautiful This Way Comes....

2010-03-18T18:50:00.001-07:00

Rough solder applied heavily in a free form, sculptural sytle...
antiqued and tinted to look like metal that has been left to the elements for decades...

Heavy, fire polished Bohemian crystals, meticulously cut to capture a magical amount of light and throw it, like beautiful confetti in all directions...

Large, hand polished natural stones with mesmerizing patterns ....

Gorgeous antique Italian leather bottles that once held fine wine many, many decades ago now support stunning crosses of crystal...

Introducing the Leather Collection of Greyfreth Cross Bottles...
which will be available this week -
in limited quantities
in the Vintage Cross Bottle section.

What's cooking in the Studio today....

2010-03-04T12:03:00.000-08:00

Sea Life. As promised, we are rolling in the old favorites -- the classics... gorgeous works of nature simply soldered to an antique bottle. Keepsakes of summer. It doesn't need more than that to evoke all the warm images and sounds of a day at the shore...

The warm sand underneath your feet ... the sound of the gulls crying above the rolling waves...

The sound of the water lapping at the boats tied to the pier... the magical beauty seen in the iridescence of glass turned to smooth jewels by the relentless waves

The mesmerizing textures along the outside of an abalone shell -- who would ever think it housed such a smooth and spectacular showing of iridescence inside of it?

The sun and sand - with the warmth of the benevolent early summer sun washing over you as you hunt for shells along the long strip of tawny sand...

Treasures everywhere...

Gorgeous, mysterious gems of the deep...

Not a care in the world. Living in the moment, wrapped within the tawny arms of summer.

I hope that is what our classic sea life collection evokes in you. Take a peek at some of the classics rolling into the sea life section today through the weekend -- close your eyes and picture the best of summer ... I hope these bottles take you to that dreamy place -- the place that only summers at the shore... lazy day at the beautiful beach... can take you.

In addition, watch for our newer collections Classics with a twist, and... the enchanted classics... which have been put in the shop, some of our retailers, and now I am busy making them for the online shop. With Spring on the horizon, which means summer on its heels, a dose of that sun and fun is needed, I think, for those of you still buried in snow, I hope this was a nice break.

Grey Beauties....

2010-02-22T12:35:00.000-08:00

The rain has subsided and there is a distinct change in the air ... albeit not fully developed, it is still noticeable -- Spring is on her way. The air is a little softer and the sun, a little warmer. The intoxicating scent of Jasmine wafts along the sea breeze, intermingled with the newly flowering rosemary and buds of roses that are beginning to unfurl. It's beyond lovely.

With one foot still in the moody greys of winter and one foot and a full heart turned towards Spring, I found myself consumed with thoughs of the garden and the outdoors and with that, I shopped for the the most lovely combination of the fleeting winter and the coming of Spring --

Moody greys are washed over intricately carved wooden fleur de lis and fauna which frame the glass door of this lovely Escutcheon key frame cabinet. A perfect place to store my white coral and tiny antique books - what do you see storing there?

Feast your eyes on these gorgeous crosses that look to be ancient treasures found amid the ruins of some 11th century European Abbey... I want one for my mantle and one for my garden...

Or this lovely mirror, entwined in vines of sinuous iron foliage that has been treated to look like lovely patinaed copper... Can't you just see this hanging on a wall of creeping fig or ivy in a grotto where you have your morning coffee?

How about this beauty from the Coast of Amalfia -- a stunning reproduction of an 11th century Italian Cathedral relic - can you imagine a plethora of candles burning -- the soft candlelight reflected off the textured and aged mirrored metal -- how is that for some beautiful illumination over your next dinner party?

And then, of course, my love for Santos Cage Dolls didn't go denied - look at this beauty I found -- If I could purr, I would.

These and many other new treasures now available in the Maison Section -- and many more to come when I find more time to get them posted!

Here's to the coming Spring - and all that she brings.

The Ambers...

2010-02-03T11:17:00.000-08:00

Warm, rich, sultry amber
- the keeper of archaic secrets -
Perfect in every way.
Quintessentially vintage.

Our Vintage Amber Cross Bottle shelves are now fat and full and waiting for you to peruse them. Enjoy.

... another thing on my long list that I can happily put a big fat check mark next to! Moving right along, moving right along! It's a good, good thing.

Hello pretty blues!

2010-02-01T13:16:00.001-08:00

All of the blue cross bottles in the studio are now lining the online shelves. I finally feel like I am catching up from Christmas! The inventory will, as always, rotate as things sell and get made. Now... I'm working on the Ambers. There are TONS of bottles to put up. Hopefully I will have that done by tonight! I have greens and many more whites to go up, too. Busy, busy day!

She sells seashells ....

2010-01-26T18:51:00.000-08:00

A sneak peek of what I have been up to in the studio...

Making little keepsakes of summer...

The thought of sun and sand ... gentle waves rolling into the pearly white shore -

perhaps will bring a little inner warmth to those in the freezing parts of the world right now...

A little piece of summer - or an entire vignette of it - whatever works. It just gets more and more lovely by the piece...

These pretties and more will be loading up in the Vintage Sea Life section over the next day or so.

Happy Tuesday.

Incoming Beauties

2010-01-22T16:56:00.000-08:00

The skies are clearing, there is a beautiful sunset in the beginning stages over the ocean outside my window. The sun, albeit setting, is a welcome sight, indeed. The rains that have kept the sun at bay and flooded us here in Socali for the last 5 days are on their way out. If it is heading your way, I feel for you!

Speaking of beautiful things on the horizon - how about these gorgeous willow nesting baskets -- Based on the original antique English fishing basket these leather strapped beauties will be available mid February in the Maison section.

Also coming in are these huge and fabulous bread boards. I want several for my own kitchen.

Are you a round or rectangle sort? Or both?

We've uploaded an arm full of white cross bottles if you want to go over and take a peek.

They are stunning.

Back to the studio I go to get some more cross bottles to shoot and upload. Enjoy your evening!

Behind the scenes... From the Studio

2010-01-21T08:17:00.001-08:00

The heavens opened up here in coastal southern California and have been dumping a constant deluge of rain - and winds - and the occasional thunder and lightning - which is really unheard of here. We actually had a tornado warning. It's been insane.

That being said, it has been the perfect weather to sequester myself to the studio and I've been working fiendishly in there. I come out to eat and sleep - other than that, that is where I have been and will be through the weekend.

There are dozens upon dozens of new and gorgeous bottles going up over the next week. I have huge plans and beautiful things which I am working on for 2010 in the area of Cross Bottles and Sea Life , and I think you are going to absolutely go crazy over them!

In addition to all the cross bottles I need to put on the site - I have some other fabulous new things to upload, too. I wish there were more of me so I could get things up on the internet shop faster, but it is what it is, and truly, the wait is worth it. You will love it all. I promise! In even more news, I also have a new Artist that has joined our family of creative folks - more on that on Monday!

Okay, I'm off again to the studio! Stay warm, dry, and happy out there -

The beautiful paintings shown are all by the talented Sheila Vaughan, England.

New, Sold out, and Cross Bottles and Sea Life shelves almost full.

2010-01-15T11:08:00.000-08:00

I have some fabulous and heavy antique industrial steel baskets in the shop that were found in a closed down warehouse in Germany ... and they stack. There are only a dozen available at this time. The potential uses for these industrial beauties are endless. Right now I have a batch of dried hydrangeas in one and a mass of twinkle lights in another, and next to my antique table turned desk, files and papers are filling up a third basket .... I am sure I can find a dozen uses and end up keeping them all.
Save me from myself.

These stackable antique German industrial baskets will be available in the Maison section later today.

... and in the blink of an eye, these 2 Santos Dolls are SOLD OUT ... again.

We do, however, have the other santos cage dolls listed in Greyfreth Maison in stock and available. I placed another order for the 2 pictured, but they will not arrive in the States until approx. March 15th. If you would like to reserve one, please email us at Sales@greyfreth.com

In other news, our Cross Bottles and Sea Life Bottles will be fully stocked over the weekend, so check back Monday for full shelves and new selections.

They go fast, too - so be sure not to let a favorite get away.

Santos Cage Dolls

2010-01-08T17:03:00.000-08:00

Are back in stock!
Come by the Greyfreth Maison section to see the entire collection.

Climbing out from the Mountain of Pretties

2010-01-06T13:23:00.000-08:00

With the whirlwind of the Holidays beginning to fade, family returning to their own corners of the world, and the shop settling into the post season groove, I have finally found some time to begin attacking the mountain of beautiful things around here which, due to the shortage of time during the Holidays, I, unfortunately wasn't able to start unpacking, photographing and getting up online until now.

Oh, but wait until you see these beauties .... Let's start with the Maison section of Greyfreth -- I have a gorgeous shipment of European Grain sacks that are enormous and oh so beautiful. Both the antique grain sacks and the fun combination of antiques sacks with "new" print of authentic and antique designs. I have decided to show each one individually, like the our Vintage Cross Bottles, instead of one group picture. More work for me, but it's fun, and you are worth every effort! I have finished photographing them and will have them up this afternoon, so be sure to stop by and see them later today here.

Some beautiful antique dough bowls came in and they will be up, too - maybe tomorrow, but very soon. You can see parts of one that I used as a prop in these photos (filled with my first attempt at drying my hydrangeas blossoms from this past Spring and Summer at my house!)

The light was amazing this morning and I didn't waste any time taking full advantage of it - I shot many, many photos - and with the thousands of crystals around here - the light show was incredible.

I hope you are having a wonderful day, and be sure to peek into all areas of the shop in the coming week -- lots and lots of things are on their way in.

We are very happy to say that a new collection of sealife bottles are up in the "Gifts from the Sea" area in the cross bottle section of Greyfreth.

New Santos Dolls

2009-12-05T17:21:00.000-08:00

I am excited to let you know that there is a new collection of Santos and Santos Cage Dolls featured in our Maison section of Greyfreth!

Gorgeous, hand-carved and hand painted wooden reproductions of Antiques that were used in Spain, Portugal and Mexico during religious processions. Mementos such as flowers, cards and keepsakes were placed in the 'cage' portion of the doll to honor the person for whom the procession was held.

These beautiful dolls, which can be pre-purchased now, and are currently making their way across the Atlantic ocean (literally on the boat) and our importer has graciously agreed to ship them directly from their warehouse so you can get them faster rather than waiting for them to be shipped to us from NY and then out to you. December 22 is the expected date of shipping, so if you are ordering them for Christmas, let your lucky recipient know it may be arriving fashionably late.

Head over to Greyfreth Maison to see the entire selection of these new beautiful dolls - you're going to want more than just a few!

...and don't miss out on the liquidation sale of our current cross bottles! They will no longer be available after Friday, December 11th!

A sprinkling of pretties...

2009-11-06T10:07:00.001-08:00

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 ...

2009-10-23T15:35:00.000-07:00

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...

2009-10-04T17:34:00.000-07:00

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

2009-09-26T08:06:00.000-07:00

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.

as seen in pottery barn

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.

Magic being spun behind the curtain...

2009-09-14T14:28:00.001-07:00

Crisp mornings, warm afternoons - rich sultry hues like no other time of year... My favorite season is knocking...

In online shop news -- I'm happy to say that a few of the cross bottle sections are fully stocked with new treasures, while several curtains are closed over in the home and garden sections as the season changes in the shop - New and gorgeous things are going up and the curtains will be thrown wide open by the weekend.

Online Shop Status:

Cross Bottles:

Ambers: Up and running. Many, many new arrivals! Stunning for Fall.

Blues: The new gorgeous inventory is all up and selling out fast!

Whites: I'm in there behind the curtain uploading new inventory now - should be fully up and running by tonight.

Greyfreth Maison - closed until this weekend- so worth the wait!

Greyfreth Garden - closed until sometime this weekend- New gorgeous Fall items being put out!

Busy with the Blues

2009-09-09T10:23:00.000-07:00

The UPS man brought more gorgeous goodies today - so I'm busy at work inventorying, pricing and photographing... I've temporarily shut down everything on the site other than the cross bottles for the next few days while I get the entire cross bottle inventory online, finish the FAQs, the shipping page and double-check all the navigation of the links. Feel free to peruse the Cross Bottle section as I work -- most of that is complete - check on the new sidebar navigation while you are there, and the new collages ...hopefully the rest of the site (maison, garden, and brocante) should be finished and live by the weekend. ... There are some fabulous new things being added there in celebration the new season, and also because maybe, by the weekend, I'll finally have time to put everything up! Bear with me. So much to do, so little time.

In the meantime, sink your teeth into these blue beauties. They will be up here by the end of the day. I also have new ambers and TONS of new whites that will all be up by tomorrow night here and here.

Mmm blue and white...

...dreamy...

I love antique glass with that gorgeous patina ... so, so very much.

Makes my heart beat faster...

I would love this in my office window ... temptation, temptation. Someone beat me to it, please!

Tiny tots! Aren't they so cute?

That color is just beyond words.

Blue diamonds...

Blue garden of rosettes...

If you have to have the blues, these are definitely the sort to have!

What Can Brown Do For You?

2009-09-03T11:00:00.000-07:00

I love my UPS man - Squeaky shocks and the low growl of the engine bounding down my street, herald the arrival of his brown truck of goodies, and I feel like it's Christmas.

So to the question their commercials ask, "What can Brown do for you?"

Well, he can bring you the blues that you have been asking for -

Beautiful antique blues and simple glass cabochons that love to play with the light...

Delicious, hypnotic moody blues - and rich sultry ambers...

Whites with a perfect patina, and a few surprises

and unusual finds...

You guessed it - a new and gorgeous shipment of Vintage Cross Bottles for you to peruse.

You can shop the new blue bottles here. (Ambers and Whites are being added as we speak).. but don't wait too long, they, like summer. will be gone before you know it.

"In the Garden" Section is up and hopefully running.

2009-08-16T20:40:00.000-07:00

The Garden section of Greyfreth is up - I'm still working on the FAQs and shipping for it, but feel free to peruse the garden and if you find any broken links or something amiss, email me or comment here if you would.

It's still technically Sunday, I'm trying to make my self-imposed deadline and I'm working madly on the home accessories - should be up tonight or tomorrow. Tick, tock.

Off I go back behind the curtain.
