The unmistakable perfume of Summer

It's time for jamming... with our Copper Jam Pans Nothing says Summer more than the fragrance and taste of just-picked fresh fruit. The first strawberry of the season, the sweetness of raspberries, lush, liquid cherries, the sour tang of the rhubarb... Ahh... Delicious now, but even more cherished in the dead of winter–when the taste of jam takes you back to these precious/fleeting days of Summer. You need to be making preserves. And we have what will provide you with easy success, solid copper jam pans. First, the basics. You won’t find a better heat conductor anywhere. This means no more [...]

Re-gifting — in a good way

Macy's realized the importance of weddings in the 1920s when they came up with the Wedding Gift Registry.  But before that - way before that (1750 BC), was the dowry.  Betrothal was a business deal.  The bride's family would offer a combination of items and property to the family of the groom in hopes that they would seem to be a good 'investment'.  The idea was to make combining the two families appealing.  Romance?  What's romance? Then, about 700 years ago, the hope chest began to gain traction.  Young women prepared needlework towels and linens and occasionally, sewed a wedding [...]

Unique Gifts… for Unique Friends

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 [...]

Kitchen Confident

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 [...]

Pull up a chair….

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 - [...]
