Vintage At Heart

This company started in the founder's garage, and her one-of -a -kind pieces have grown to be popular and well-loved.

No two pieces are alike, and all are from some part of a retired wine barrel. We love every piece we sell!

These lazy susans are made from the lids of retired wine barrels! The cooperage stamps vary on all of them, and they start at $140, and go up to $175; what a great price for these beautifully unique pieces!



This one is our favorite. It is handcrafted from the "bottom of the barrel", and is stained red from storing some of the finest red wines. Perfect for serving cheese and fruits!



This dark one has a stamp as well, and it is much more rustic. This dark finish will blend perfectly with your antiques and old world decor.



And we also have these handcrafted retired wine barrel stave baskets. The inside of the basket is stained from housing the finest wine, and the outside of the basket is finished to complement your home. This would look great on your farm style table, and we think it would look great on your coffee table as a magazine rack, as well!

The American Flag Wall Plaque features an amazingly detailed and fun American history lesson. Each line on the flag has been hand drawn, wood burned and painted with different icons and sayings that reflect the passing decades of our nation's history. From the gold rush, to 9-11, to Barack Obama's historic election, nothing is left out of this wonderful keepsake. Display it for the fourth, and all year long! Constructed, drawn, stained, painted and finished 100% by hand in the good old USA! Stop in the store today to see this great piece of art for yourself.

P'kolino-Playfully Smart!

P'kolino (pee-ko-lee-no) was founded to improve play at home by two dads with a passion for creating great products. With the help of friends, family and a global network of designers, P’kolino has created play products that are beloved worldwide for their playful style and smart functionality.

They are “Playful” because they have designed products that have a fun and engaging style that children are drawn to but that parents can also appreciate for their aesthetic value. “Smart” because their products have superior functionality to safely support children’s developmental needs and extend the life of the product through multiple uses.

This sturdy toddler tag-a-long chair is optimized for little readers. Comfy foam, supple fabric, arm rests, and book pockets creates the perfect environment for relaxing with a good book or just a little down time.
The wide-base and strong angular lines make this chair not only attractive but also supremely stable (so it does not topple over like most foam chairs). It is feathery light so with the aid of the handle your little one can tote this chair to their favorite quiet spot.
Available in several fabulous color combinations, this durable chair is made with the highest quality materials.
Constructed of premium high-density foam and upholstered in cozy, stain-resistant faux suede.



This functionally smart chalk table with a reversible table top quickly hides chalky mess and, under the table storage compartment, quickly organizes art supplies. Includes two child friendly benches with easy maneuverability and a playfully stylish contemporary design
.
This little desk is super cute, but was also specially designed with little ones in mind, and is a child favorite. With it's ample working space for paper, books, and puzzles, it is ideal for project based learning or the budding artist.
This all-in-one design with ergonomically positioned built-in seat means little ones do not need to struggle with finding or positioning their chair. The seat is an optimal 12 inches high with a smart storage shelf under the seat. Cleverly compact and stylish, this smart play-space is a great addition to any home.


The P'kolino Book Buggee is a fantastically fun way to make books a part of your childʼs everyday play. This fun-loving friend helps introduce and develop a playful bond with books through the self-directed acts of selecting, loading and pulling books and other treasures. This incorporation of books into play helps nurture a childʼs love for books.

In addition to the P'kolino Book Buggee being super cute, it is also ergonomically designed for easy use. The "V" shaped book holders are wider at the top for easy loading and unloading and narrow at the bottom to hold the book in place. With four book holders and plenty of "head" room for other treasures, see how much you can fit into your Book Buggee!

This playfully sculpture-esque alternative to the standard clothes tree is so fabulously cool looking you may not want to cover it up. With several branches and fruit-o-plenty there is plenty of hanging capacity perfect for everything from nursery blankets to diaper bags.
This is such a chic way to organize, and has been featured in Parents Magazine, as well as Pregnancy and Newborn.
The tree stands 4 feet tall. With its wide base and solid, single-form construction this tree is stable and extremely durable.
Assembly is easy, since there are no nuts and bolts.


Their new line of art supplies is easier to hold, simple to clean, longer lasting and a classic, clean look. The unique shapes and jumbo sizes create superior durability that will stand the test of time; let alone the uses of a child.

A perfectly playful set which includes:
12 Colorful Markers
12 Triangle Crayons
16 Hexagon Colored Pencils
All are made in Europe of non-toxic, low odor materials, and color beautifully.


All of these items can be found in our store! Come in today to check them out, or send us an email to have them shipped directly to you!

Local Artist Sandi Wilson

Sandi Wilson has been painting for over 20 years, and is self taught. She lives in Baltimore, and we are excited to have her beautiful pieces for sale in our store.


Like her photographic images she has the ability to bring soul to her paintings. She does this by capturing the beauty and solitude of landscapes and personalities of people from across the world. “To express and share what I see through my lens is a joy for me” Wilson humbly credits her natural talent to her religious beliefs. Spirituality weaves its way into her work.
Sandi Wilson builds her abstract acrylic paintings with layers of polymer and paint. She also adds photo transfers which results in creating depth and richness to her canvasses. She also has been working extensively doing encaustic paintings (pigmented wax that is melted ). Being a professional photographer for over 21 years Sandi incorporates her photography skills to transfer details onto her acrylic paintings. In some cases, personal images unique to each client, the result is an abstract piece secretly telling a story of the patron. Click here to look at her website. Look how beautiful!
All of the pieces are done in a variety of sizes. Stop in today to see them, and to pick the perfect piece for your home!
