More Than the Markets

Enjoy long lunches, memorable dinners, picturesque villages, and the slower rhythm of the English countryside. These shared moments often become just as memorable as the antiques themselves.

Our trip surpassed all my expectations. Kathy was a wonderful host and guide. She aided in making introductions which lay the groundwork for future business in the region. I definitely plan to travel with Kathy again.

Exceeded my expectations in every way! Kathy put together a thoughtfully curated itinerary as well as relaxing in the evenings with good food and conversation. She is sincerely a wonderful human - kind, thoughtful, smart and fun. I hope to maintain a friendship with her for years to come.

I signed up mostly for the travel and wasn't sure I was 'antique person' enough. The inns were so charming and British, the dealers were welcoming, and I came home a total convert. THANK YOU, KATHY!

As a longtime French antiques collector, I was skeptical about an England trip. What Kathy showed me is that the best French pieces have traveled...to England! All I had to do was explore with a group of great people.
