Practical
Alain Saint Joanis - Ambiance Flatware with Olive Wood handles. All ASJ pieces are hand-finished. The scale and proportions of this flatware is absolutely beautiful. These mix well with vintage silver, adding eclectic layers at place settings.
1st Dibs -1792 Engraved Sterling Silver Love Cup. This is ideal for a small bouquet, pens or toothbrushes. :)
Turnbull & Asser - Best known for their made to measure shirts; they also tailor pyjamas. Patterns are cut from woven poplin in Bengal stripe with fine navy piping; finished with pretty mother of pearl buttons. I love these—Papa had PJs like these. I have them too. And he always had a handkerchief, hanky in his back-pocket. Awh. I know, cute visual.
Mason Pearson - The Rake Comb. Mate to my Popular Brush. It’s the ideal wet comb! And is aesthetically pleasing to me in tortoise.
1st Dibs - Ottoman in 19th Century French paisley shawl. The timelessness of paisley, reworked into new sleek form.
Willam Yeoward - Jam or Honey Crystal Jar. I grew up in a kitchen of many condiments. This vessel is especially beautiful. It would look sweet with mint jelly inside or golden honey…Oh, and I have never had jam. Ha.
Claus Porto - Banho. I bought my first bar 25 plus years ago. The bath bar is a toe breaker. Ha. This bar smells of refreshing lemon verbena. The scent stays until the very end; and the lather is very smooth. Truly a favorite. Soap making in Portugal since 1887.
