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.

SALISBURY— A fierce and costly battle to halt the spread of hydrilla in East Twin Lake may have finally paid off.

All but three remaining small patches, one near the shoreline at O’Hara’s Landing Marina and two others in deeper water as boats exit the marina and head out, have been destroyed by this summer’s treatment with the aquatic herbicide fluridone, which began on May 20. None of the remaining plants are thriving.

Lisa Mae Keller

LIME ROCK — Lisa Mae Keller of Lime Rock, Connecticut, passed away peacefully at her home on July 26, 2025, following a yearlong battle with cancer. Lisa remained at home between lengthy stays at Smilow Cancer Hospital – Yale New Haven. Throughout Lisa’s ordeal, the family home was a constant hub of love and support, with friends and relatives regularly dropping by. Their presence lifted Lisa’s spirits and helped her stay positive during even the toughest moments. The family remains deeply grateful to the community for their unwavering kindness and encouragement.

Born on June 2, 1958, in Bridgeport to Mae and Robert Schmidle, Lisa graduated from Newtown High School in 1976. Lisa first attended Ithica College to pursue a degree in fine arts concentrating on opera. Drawn to a more robust and challenging curriculum, Lisa transferred to Whittier College, Whittier, California earning a Bachelor of Science degree. It was in 1988 that Lisa met and married Robert (Rob) Keller in Newtown, Connecticut. Together, they embarked on a remarkable journey. The couple started small businesses, developed land in Litchfield County and welcomed in quick succession their sons Baxter and Clayton. The growing family discovered the long-abandoned historic Lime Rock Casino in 1993, while attending a race at Lime Rock Park. The couple found it difficult to commute for work while raising a family and restoring a vintage home. Lisa persuaded her husband that chimney sweeping was a noble profession, leading them to purchase the established business, Sultans of Soot Chimney Sweeps. She later leveraged her role into ownership of the largest U.S. importer of vintage Italian reproduction gun parts. Even as her entrepreneurial ventures expanded, Lisa continued managing the pick, pack, and ship operation for Kirst Konverter, though she sold the remainder of the business prior to her illness. Lisa will be remembered for her business acumen, community service, and being a trained vocalist with the Crescendo Coral Group of Lime Rock. Lisa tended the extensive gardens around the home and curated an art collection that adorns the walls within. Baking cookies was a passion. Countless cookie packages were sent world wide to each son and their military friends while deployed. It is still undetermined in the Keller house whether the Army or Marines leave less crumbs. At Christmas, the Lakeville Post Office staff would post over 80 packages of cookies to lucky recipients, while receiving a tray for their effort. Unable to bake cookies in her last year, Lisa selflessly compiled and self-published “ Pot Luck at The Casino”, a 160 page book of all of her favorite recipes, sent to everyone on her cookie list. It was a true labor of love.
