Honeychurch Home has established itself as a local favorite for its highly curated, one-of-a-kind collection of luxury home goods. The proprietor, Carolyn Piccirelli, collaborates on small-run collections with craftsmen from around Europe; the ceramics, glassware and textiles on display at the shop come from England, Hungary, the Netherlands, and even Connecticut, and many are made uniquely for Honeychurch Home.

The curation is impeccable, and each item boasts a quality unique to the studios of small-scale artisans, some of whom have been in business for generations. Piccarelli has called her curation “timeless”—think blue-and-white striped wool slippers or a luxurious lambswool throw in a simple plaid. But she also offers fun, joyous design: consider the one-of-a-kind floral chandelier constructed from painted and cut newsprint by a Tuscan artist or the ceramic bowls petaled like artichokes, made uniquely for Honeychurch Home.

 

Hand-Knit Stuffed Animals Small $39, Medium $72, Large $92

“Not only are these adorable and beautifully made but for every animal we sell, ten meals are donated to disadvantaged children.” The dolls are hand-knit with 100% cotton yarn and entirely hypoallergenic.

 

Topiaries $40 - $269 

“As a gift, topiaries make people smile,” said Piccarelli. “They have so much personality.” Small enough for the tabletop or big enough for the entryway, topiaries of Myrtle, Angel Vine, Lavender, and Coleus, to name a few, are planted in ready-to-go clay and ceramic pots.

 

French Slippers $70 

“How can you not love the jaunty stripe and softness of these slippers?” asked Piccarelli. “These are a family memory in the making.” Made in France from pure wool, the slippers promise exceptional insulation and coziness, and the crepe sole ensures a sturdy grip.

 

Petal Bowl Small $179, Large $279 

“Made just for us in Italy, the Petal Bowl has become a signature piece for us,” said Piccarelli. The ceramic bowls, handmade in Tuscany, are available in two sizes, in translucent glazes of ivory, dusty blue, and pine-green. The small measures 12 inches in diameter and 9 inches high, while the large measures 16 x 11 inches.

 

100% Lambswool Throw $599 

“Luxury never goes out of style,” said Piccarelli. The black and white plaid throw with whipstitch detail is 100% lambswool. It is woven in Italy by Alonpi, which has a long-standing tradition of using only the finest fibers to create exquisite throws and blankets. It measures 55 inches wide by 75 inches across.
