Favorite Things

We've selected items that have stood the test of time from top manufacturers around the world — most have been in business for generations, and many are names you'll be familiar with from childhood.

Whether you're investing in an item for yourself or the kitchen of a friend, why not buy something that is exceptionally well-made and that you know will be handed down for several generations?

Carole’s Finds

From time to time, Carole comes across treasures hidden away in antique shops, estate sales and salvage yards. Her experienced decorator’s eye can spot a quality item from across a room. She makes a habit of picking these up for future clients. Now you can have access to this stash of one-off wonders.
