Over our 30 years of marriage, we’ve always worked together to pursue our dream of a passionate life. We’ve started nine businesses, and in all of them, we’ve either sold the food we made or the products we love.

It all began a few months after we graduated from college. That’s when we left the conventional work world and opened a small housewares store in Vermont. Now we’re embarking on a brand-new retail adventure—an online store here at our website to sell some of the products we love.

We truly believe that the quality of our lives is affected by the things in our lives. So starting the week of May 5^th, we’ll be offering you a collection of some of our favorite products from around the world.

Each item, whether it’s our favorite beach bag or Vermont cheese or handmade serving platter is remarkable for its beauty, its utility or its sheer deliciousness. There’s no doubt that our selection process has been personal, idiosyncratic, even quirky. It reflects the parts of the world we know well—the beach, the garden, the kitchen, the home. We’ve held or used or savored every item that we’ll be offering for sale, and we believe in its quality and value.

We hope you’ll come back during the week of May 5^th to take a look at some of the stuff we love. And then please, send us a note about the things you love.
