Every purchase has a story . . .

We’re proud to offer clients something different than the mass-produced, common gift items that are found in average stores. We deliberately search out artisans who create items that touch the heart, speak of the warm wishes you want to send with gifts, and create the ambiance that makes your home special.

A woman and husband came in to browse the other day. They were preparing a nursery for their first child and were looking for unique items. The couple was happy to discover two pieces of furniture that would be perfect for them, and purchased both. One was a white antique table that they will use as a changing table, and the other item was a mint green bookcase. They also bought a sign for the baby's room that says, "Easy Does It." The expectant mom loved the sign. She said that she’ll look at it when the baby won't stop crying, and it will remind her to take it easy!

Another woman came into the store searching for the perfect gift for her husband’s birthday. She had no idea what she was going to get for him and wandered through the shop looking at what was available. When she came across a cowboy frame and photo album she knew she found exactly what she needed.







She said her husband is very much a western man, and those items were perfect for him.

We're glad that we can offer not only unique gifts and items, but that we can enjoy chatting with clients and helping them find the perfect treasure for their needs.
