This week — A Study in White 🤍
The curator gathers white ironstone, painted porcelain, carved birds & reclaimed wood into a gallery wall for the home, where every piece gets room to speak and a whisper of colour has space to breathe.

Chapter 6: The Work Behind the Work: Sourcing in the Stillness
An honest look at the quiet work behind a considered collection, and the sourcing decisions that happen long before a treasure reaches the shop.

🔎 Missing a Piece — or Hunting a Treasure?
I source in two directions. Missing a CorningWare lid, plate, or pattern piece? Use the replacement request.
Looking for something beyond the catalogue — artwork, brass pretties, a particular maker, or one very specific treasure? Use the unlisted treasure request.
Custom sourcing is a considered service. If you submit a request, please do so with the intention of purchasing when I find the right piece. That commitment allows me to give your search the attention it deserves, and helps me focus on treasures with a clear place in a considered collection.
