I believe that not making something new is the greenest thing of all, that a small business can make a difference, that human connection is a powerful thing, and visiting with neighbors and customers who have become friends is a really nice way to spend your day.
Every piece tells its own story.
I’m continually on the hunt for the unique and hand-crafted. Modern mixed with vintage. New with old.. I love things that don’t match yet somehow go together, pieces that spur deeper engagement. I adore unusual objects that whisk me away to other continents. A foraging basket from Borneo, a flying angel from Bali, an Art Deco bar cabinet, a handmade rocking chair.,
The foundation of all every piece is craft, ease of use, beauty and comfort. Pieces made thoughtfully with care and detail. By artisans. Wood, leather, pottery. Honest real materials, worn, loved, with a patina of history. I maintain an ever-changing stock of thought provoking and well crafted home goods, furniture pieces, and an array of hand made curated gifts and cards, oracle decks, art, and one-of-a-kind pieces.
So I hope you will find time to visit. Allow time to slow down. Sit in a comfy chair, squish a down pillow, hold a beaded basket in your hands, browse for inspiration. I hope when you take away a found treasure or two, you will feel just a bit more like yourself.
About Me
“You created the shop to be yourself…”. My friend’s words just sprang from her mouth uncensored. I laughed with recognition. That was it exactly! I look around Narrative and I see me.
It started with a quest. I needed to create a space that was a reflection of what I was feeling - to put my inside on the outside as it were. To express my values, hopes, musings; feel the qualities that were closest to my heart and soul. To surround myself with objects that were comfortable, useful, timeless, unique, unusual. I longed to live in curiosity and alchemy.
So that is how Narrative Home came to be. It’s a studio of ideas and experimentation, and of discovery, allowing a space to express the inside of me on the outside. A shop meant to spark inspiration, ideas and delight. A place to find the perfect treasure for your home. A place where guidance is available, for your home and for yourself.
