Who I am
When I was seven years old, my sister taught me how to read a map so we could spend our weekends hunting estate sales.
I've been treasure hunting ever since.
Long before I became a lawyer, I was captivated by beautifully made things with a history. Embroidered French linens, tiny seascape paintings, sterling silver jewelry worn smooth by generations, weathered wooden boxes, rusty cast-iron animals, and all the wonderfully odd little objects that make a house feel collected instead of decorated.
After years of collecting, I decided it was finally time to follow the dream that had quietly been waiting for me all along. Every piece you'll find here is something I'd happily bring into my own home or wear myself. I don't believe in buying for trends. I buy for craftsmanship, character, and that impossible-to-manufacture quality that comes only with age and use.
I've always loved mixing old with new. A Victorian silver pendant worn with a linen sheath. A Chanel jacket layered over a vintage slip dress. A midcentury modern chair paired with a grandmother's quilt. There's something magical about the way old and new can live together, each one making the other more interesting.
I hope you find something here that speaks to you the way these pieces speak to me. Something with history. Something with soul.
Happy Shopping,
