There are some items worth collecting, not because they are particularly valuable, but because they are unique...like friends. Perhaps your gift list includes the perfect recipient for one of these treasures, gifts that spark just the right memory – a primary reason why collections are born. One criterion might be historic significance. Another, for the scientific minded, may symbolize a unique stop in the evolution of technological innovation - like the French pocket microscope offered here. These pieces offer a way to connect with a specially selected friend or relative. Did an ancestor love sewing? This windmill tape measure may [...]

Gift season is upon us.  During these recent extraordinary times, gifts have taken on a whole new meaning.   No longer just a token acknowledgement, we have begun to give them as heartfelt tributes to those we truly value. While news outlets are predicting a frustrating Holiday season, emphasizing broken supply chains and delayed shipping, we have been gathering items for gift giving.  Perhaps we have just what you need to lessen your Holiday anxiety. Are you spending more time congregating with family around the stove, or sharing a meal with close friends around the dining table?  Maybe this selection of kitchenware includes [...]

Gather 'Round This past year re-introduced the true purpose of dining tables.  They are the hub of the home.  Families once on-the-move have begun [again] to congregate at mealtime – and for board games, cards, and dare-we-say-it, conversation. While spending more time at home, we’ve rediscovered not only multi-generational topics of discussion, but the comfort and warmth of extended hours eating, talking, working – even crafting and doing homework. For any pursuit, we offer the table of your choice – custom-made to your specifications.  Whether rugged looking and heavy duty – perfect for a woodsy mountain lodge, or delicate and refined - [...]

During the past year, many of us have sought books - for escape, for education and for a really good sourdough recipe.  We've been reminded of their value, and perhaps, even the value of well-functioning storage that houses these precious objects. As far back as 544AD, the Chinese used revolving bookcases, similar to this one made by Elijah Slocum, to protect their prized treasures. Originally popularized by Buddhist monks, they weren’t holding books, they were filled with scrolls. Eventually, book storage morphed into what we now would consider a cupboard, with its contents hidden from view. In fact, the doors [...]
