Dear Friends

BRITISH STYLE

Worthy of the CROWN • Bearing adornments as sophisticated and enduring as the brand itself, Wedgwood’s Queen’s Ware patterns have remained in the hearts of collectors for generations. Mingling with whispers of roses and spirals of ribbon, these azure vessels evoke more than mere admiration.

Woven in TIME • Set along the banks of the River Otter in the East Devon countryside, Honiton honors its namesake lace through the Allhallows Museum, where the past weaves with the present to tell the story of the renowned art form.

Prints CHARMING • Using the ages-old technique of print transfer, an artisan carefully places delicate squares of ink-dotted tissue paper upon white biscuit ware forms, transforming them into coveted collectibles.

Tokens of the GRAND TOUR • A timeless treasure loved for its ability to add simple, storied charm to any interior regardless of color scheme, the plaster intaglio boasts a fascinating history. The tale begins with ancient civilizations, continues with Roman rings, and culminates in an educational expedition of European culture.

WELCOMING DWELLINGS

A Coastal RETREAT • What was once a little girl’s favorite view becomes her family’s holiday home. The revival of the cottage, with its cherished seaside vista, brought a renewed spirit to a woman who once dreamed of owning the abode.

A Country IDYLL • Leaving behind the confines of a larger dwelling, one couple combines treasured antiques with contemporary style to turn over a new leaf in a historic farmhouse in southeast England.

Behind the STONE FAÇADE • A lovingly restored nineteenth-century rectory in Somerset offers the perfect home for a family with three energetic girls.

Song of the MARSH • A privately owned nature preserve just forty minutes from London awakens each day to a chorus of birdsong. Nestled amid swaying grasses and the flapping wings of avian friends, a storied farmhouse welcomes guests for an enchanting retreat.

ENGLISH TABLES

Feasting in the OPEN AIR • Savor golden moments of sunlight in true Victorian spirit with a picnic in the countryside. Blankets spread beneath a canopy of trees invite repose—especially when a feast of classic British fare awaits.

Comforts from the COTTAGE TABLE • Tantalizing aromas waft through these environs, inviting guests to settle in for a feast, where each recipe exudes the warmth and welcome of home.

Ode to the VICTORIAN TRIFLE • Whether presented as a grand centerpiece or individual delights, these desserts boast tantalizing layers of spirit-soaked confections, succulent fruits, and clouds of silken filling in traditional English style.
