A day early! Online Shop reopens today


I usually don't email on Sundays, but I was too excited to let this wait another day.

The online shop took a week off to undergo a revamp, and today it's live again.

Meet the new Found Collection, First Arrivals shop.

Here you will find a curated selection of English, European, and American antiques sourced for the collected home.

We start off with English Bread + Brass - timeless English breadboards, Victorian maple rolling pins, and collectible horse brass.

Each week over the month of March, new First Arrivals from my recent UK sourcing trip will be added.

And later, after my container arrives, select items from The Found Collection events will be added in between releases for nationwide shipping.

A new feature, shopping for my Canadian and UK customers is now enabled. And free local pickup remains for my Northwest Arkansas customers.

I just shared a new blog post all about decorating with blue and white: where the look comes from, why it’s lasted so long, and some simple ways to incorporate it into your home without changing everything....

One of the things I love about sourcing in Europe is how everyday objects were made with a quiet kind of beauty. Not necessarily meant to be decorative… but made well enough that they become beautiful over time. A few small French pieces went live in the First Arrivals online shop today, and I thought I’d share a little about them. First are a pair of old painter’s palettes. They're amazing examples of how the process of making art can become art itself. Layered with years worth of oil paint,...

Happy Friday Reader! My England YouTube video just went live this morning 🇬🇧 To be completely honest, I wasn't sure I had filmed enough footage to even have a video to share, the trip was such a blur 🫠 So I was pleasantly surprised when I pulled my camera videos and found plenty of behind the scenes footage to make a video I'm really proud of. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. And just fyi . . . at the 13:40 mark in the video I get pretty vulnerable and share more about this whole giant...
