We travel all around to estate sales, antique shops, flea markets, thrift shops and art festivals finding genuine antiques, one-of-a-kind custom made items, quirky and unique stuff and those absolutely must-have items. When necessary, we thoroughly clean and repair them (without risking the inherent integrity of the piece).

We research everything we can find on our products and their manufacturers to pass that knowledge on to you, the savvy shopper. Whenever possible with our vintage or antique items we research and post information on the provenance. We discover how to properly care for the items and pass those suggestions on to you.
