Hosted by Kirsten grew out of a lifelong love of entertaining, travel, and the thrill of finding something special in flea markets, antique stores, estate sales, and unexpected places. I've always been drawn to pieces with character and history, especially things made for the table, the bar, and the home.
What You'll Find Here
The shop is intentionally curated rather than focused on any particular period or style. Antique sterling silver and silverplate next to mid-century barware, crystal, old hotel pieces, serveware, lighting, books, and objects that make having people over feel a little more special (or make the perfect host gift!).
I'm selective about condition. Everything here is something I personally chose, cleaned, and would happily put on my own table or in my own home. While antique or vintage condition (not perfect), everything has been carefully edited and curated.
