A mix of dinner plate and glass patterns are pulled together with a floral theme and matching dessert plates.

 

A set of stamps and recipe cards make favors your guests are sure to use over and over. 



 

Don't be afraid to use what you have on hand. Here vintage books were used instead of placemats.

A succulent in a concrete planter brings a touch of life to the table.

My Pastiche Story: Haley

It's hard to describe everything that Pastiche at Main has meant to me & my family.
This past year of business has been life changing! My faith in God has grown, my creativity has evolved, my circle of friends have strengthened me & my family has increased by one new little member.

Pastiche at Main warms my heart when I think of all the families it impacts & how it represents Lynchburg so perfectly.
I hope through this Keep Pastiche Alive campaign & the silent auction event - people will realize all that this creative community has to offer & how valuable Pastiche at Main is to our downtown heartbeat.

My hope is that we will be embraced so greatly by locals that we can stay open for many years to come! We have lots of room to grow & I can't wait to see what the future holds.
Thank you for all your support. I am excited to see all that 2015 has in store & grateful I've been able to pursue my dreams!

My Pastiche Story: Marie

Selling my peg dolls at Pastiche has been amazing!

I am so inspired to create new designs just for the local customers, who I love to meet each Friday as I work in the shop.

I've only been a part of this collective for a few months now. Already, I feel I've found a "home", a place that my quirky little peg people and I belong.

I love belonging to this great creative endeavor, and I know Lynchburg would be a poorer place without it.

My Pastiche Story: Kerry

Selling at Pastiche has been a extremely helpful in finding what customers want and don't want.

I've been able to play around with different items and new styles and see what works.

It has also given me the freedom to be as creative as I want to be.

It's been really fun to see how the city of Lynchburg responds to my craft.

I've been so blessed by Pastiche as it is given me the ability to stay at home with my kids while still making some money for the family.

My Pastiche Story: Maggie

We are new to the area, having just moved here a year ago, and needed a way to build our reputation and connect with the people.

Being part of the Pastiche family has given us a chance to share our products with the community in a convenient and welcoming setting.
 
As part of this amazing project, we have been able to meet the inspiring talent located right here in Lynchburg. They offer such energy and support to our growing family business.
 
We look forward to building on these relationships with locals and creative professionals in the future. Pastiche has given us a sense of belonging in our new "home" town.

My Pastiche Story: Leah

 

 

Pastiche at Main has been more than I dreamed it could be:

A physical location for me to showcase my work,

A place to find inspiration and support from fellow creatives,

A place to help me grow my business as a furniture refinisher, a think-outside-the-box repurposer, a chalkboard artist, and a finder of lovely things!

It is a source of income for my family

A chance for my 4 children to see me invest in and chase after my dream

And a rewarding outlet for me!

I am so grateful!
