As we wrap up another year, we just want to pause and say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has supported our antique silverware and furniture shops in 2025. Truly — this year wouldn’t have been the same without you. Every chat, every visit, every order, and every kind word has kept us going and reminded us why we love doing what we do.
One of the things we’re especially proud of this year is being able to offer more part-time opportunities to our community. From shopkeeping to cleaning to helping online, they’ve made our days brighter and workload lighter in all the best ways, freeing up time to source for treasures, spend time with our growing family and enjoy the life we’re building.
Helping people find unique pieces such as overmantel mirrors and silver candelabra have added an exciting dimension to our business. We may not have space for the big showstoppers, but we’ve been able to find them quickly and smoothly to the surprise of the new custodians.
And then there’s our Food Guide — now at Version 3.0! What started off as a helpful email to a friend has somehow become a trifold pamphlet and a favourite among many of you in Bath and overseas. This year’s edition even covers our go-to watering holes and gems around the wider Bath area. Supporting our favourite venues have been delightful.
Proud to play a small part in Bath’s historical charm, we’re truly grateful that more tour guides and local residents are bringing their guests to see the Georgian kitchen in the basement of our furniture shop, once an 18th-century lodging house. It’s become a warm, relaxed little stop that adds a pleasantly unexpected moment to their tours.
We’ve also been thrilled to see more people discovering us online. Website traffic has been on a steady climb, and Cynthia wakes up most mornings to orders popping up on her phone… which usually means Ron gets an early call to start packing! It’s been lovely seeing our shop-front go far beyond our beautiful Brock Street.
At the end of the day, our shop is so much more than a place to sell things. It’s our connection to the community, our reason to get up every morning, and our way of pouring our love of business (and a good challenge!) into something meaningful — together.
Thank you for being such a big part of our 2025 and for making it genuinely special.
From our home to yours, we wish you a warm, joyful Christmas and a wonderful year ahead.
