THE COLLECTION
A SET OF EIGHT GIFTS, BEAUTIFULLY
WRAPPED AND READY WHEN YOU ARE.
I spend the season finding vintage pieces and favorites from independent brands, then pair them into eight gifts with character and purpose. The set gives you a good answer for dinner invitations, birthdays, and the occasions that sneak up on you. I handle the hunt, the edit, and the presentation; you decide when to give each one.
Each seasonal Collection is intentionally kept small, because nobody needs to know where you found it.

THE NEW ENGLAND EDIT
This season’s Collection comes from a summer spent exploring New England, from Newport to Nantucket.
The vibe is classic meets coastal; Wedgwood meets witchy; country-club polish meets me, crawling through a colonial attic with no A/C and questionable support beams.
Better glassware helps.
Four matching vintage coupes paired with a set of linen cocktail napkins for a bar setup considerably more civilized than it needs to be.
Each set includes four matching vintage coupes in cut or etched glass, paired with the embroidered lobster napkins shown. The glassware will vary from set to set, but each quartet is chosen for its beautiful pattern, elegant coupe shape, and place at a very good cocktail hour.
Dinner deserves better lighting.
Two vintage brass candlesticks, coordinating tapers, and a delicate flame snuffer make a convincing case for turning off the overhead lights.
Each pair of brass candlesticks is hand-picked from homes along the New England coast, bringing its own shape, patina, and history to the table. I gently clean and buff each pair without polishing away the character it has earned over time. Coordinating tapers put them straight to work, while a delicate brass snuffer makes extinguishing them a little more civilized. No two sets will be quite alike, but all are chosen for the kind of glow that makes dinner feel like an occasion.
For the hostess with the mostess.
Sculptural wooden servers and a pair of hand-printed tea towels make a welcome addition to any host’s table.
The sculptural wooden whale servers bring a playful coastal note to salads and serving bowls. Two generously sized, hand-printed sackcloth tea towels complete the set, each finished with a handy hanging loop for easy keeping between uses.
Just add water.
A compact watercolor palette, two proper brushes, and an approachable how-to book make painting on the go remarkably easy.
The palette comes pre-filled with professional-grade watercolor paints, along with two Kolinsky synthetic sable brushes, a Round 4 and Round 6, selected to create every painting in the book. Each project is already sketched out, so you can get straight to the fun part, and the perforated pages tear out easily for framing any masterpiece worthy of the wall.
A proper start to supper.
A proper shucking setup and a very useful guide cover everything needed to get from shell to half shell.
The shucking set holds a stainless-steel oyster knife and wooden shell holder inside its decorative book cover. The Kaufmann Mercantile Guide adds illustrated advice on shucking oysters and other useful pursuits, from caring for cast iron to reading the sky. Together, the two pieces give the host a reason to make the raw bar part of dinner.
These two gifts skip the box and are wrapped individually, then stacked and tied with ribbon to create a handsome little oyster tower.
A little luxury for busy hands.
Handmade soap and rich hand salve sit neatly on a wooden soap tray, creating a sink-side ritual that feels as good as it looks.
Made in New Hampshire, the cold-processed soap combines Atlantic sea kelp with a blend of garden seeds for a serious scrub and a clean lemon scent. The hand salve follows with natural skin conditioners and lemon essential oil to tackle even the driest hands and keep them ready for whatever comes next.
Seasoning with a little ceremony.
Three Cape Cod sea salts, three Atlantic scallop shells, and a petite brass spoon make finishing a dish part of the occasion.
Classic, Rosemary, and Garlic & Herb salts are hand-blended with sea salt harvested from Nantucket Sound. Each flavor has its own natural scallop shell, harvested from the Atlantic, with a brass spoon for passing and sprinkling. No two shells are exactly alike, so variations in shape and color are part of their natural character. Oven and microwave safe, the shells can later be used for baked scallops, butter, or sauce.
For a fresh start, and a few private notes.
A cleansing sage, selenite and palo santo bundle rests on a vintage dish, with a bottle of matches and a tiny notebook for keeping tabs.
Strike a match and set the ritual in motion. Each sage bundle comes wrapped with palo santo and selenite to bring a little peace, while the tiny notebook keeps track of who disturbed it in the first place. A hand-picked vintage dish, measuring 3–4 inches in diameter, gives your bundle a place to rest. Patterns and details will differ from kit to kit, but they all come with good energy.
