This past Saturday we had our annual English Traditions Christmas party with our staff and their families. It was great to have everyone together and blow off some steam. A big thanks to Paul at Paula’s Cafe in downtown Cincinnati for bringing some excellent eats! Here are a few photos from the evening.

I can’t remember a holiday season without a family dog. From a very early age, my family and I have been animal lovers, especially dogs! I think I was born just after our beagle had a litter of 8 puppies. That’s 8 brand new puppies and a new baby boy all at once! What was my mother thinking? That was the beginning of my love for dogs. By now, I don’t think I can count on both hands all the dogs that have had a place in my family’s heart through the years.

Many of you probably remember Willie, my mothers dog who opened the store with us from the very beginning. He has since passed away leaving a lot of regular customers’ kids wondering where he is. We love you & miss you Willie!

One of favorite British bands. What an incredible video! It definitely gets you in the spirit. You gotta love the artsy antique piano and the old theater set, and the city . . . amazing stuff.

Our latest shipment of one-of-a-kind European antiques and exquisite reproductions has arrived and is now available in our Cincinnati store! This shipment came from our most recent buying trip where we hand picked the best pieces from antique fairs and our dealers throughout England. Take a look at the video to get a sneak peek at some of the great pieces we brought back with us. With so many great pieces, these certainly won’t be around long. Be sure to stop by our Cincinnati store soon to be the first to select your pieces from this shipment before they are gone!

After the sun rose early in the Cotswold’s, we had a cooked English breakfast, but skipped the the beans! (Not sure why the English have beans to start the day?)
We took another look around the town in the early light and which like a tranquil place stuck in time. We stop by the places we know and love – the bakery, the flower shop and the local newsstand. In these quiet English towns, the local business are the businesses. They are alive and well in the heart of the English countryside. No chain stores, no mass malls, just the next generation of store owners following the family line passed down through the generations.
