Welcome to… Continental Charm!
I’ve been wanting to name my “H-3” booth(s) here at for a while now, but could never decide on a name. After my grandfather passed away at 101 years old, I was reminiscing about a story he told me at my grandmother’s funeral about 10 years ago. I had asked him how the two of them ended up together, and this is what he said:
“People would ask me ‘Hey Tony, how’d you get such a beautiful wife?’ And I’d say ‘I stole her glasses. I stole her glasses and asked her to marry me. She said yes.’” Later that day, when I asked him to tell the story again, he changed his tune. He said what got my Grandma (voted the most beautiful girl in her class) to marry him was his own “good looks and continental charm.”
Continental charm…
I loved that. That story. That sentiment. That rare human quality.
It’s a quality that can only be acquired with time and by traveling this world, life, with open eyes, taking it all in, and letting the good stuff shine. If only we all had a little more continental charm, what a wonderfully different place this planet this would be!
And so that’s it. I decided to name my little shop after ALL my grandparents and their honest to goodness continental charm - inside and out. Their homes and their collections were reflections of their personalities - timeless, elegant, artistic, rustic, warm, and whimsical, and that’s what I hope you find here!
Come on in! We’re always open! (Yes, I ship!)
