Attention early-bird holiday shoppers and ornament enthusiasts: our holiday shop at 8 East 2nd Street is open! This season, John has added more sparkle and shine than ever. From itsy-bitsy to over-the-top, there’s a unique ornament waiting for you: handblown glass parrots fly next to spaceships, S’mores share space with sushi, and nostalgic Christmas baubles dangle beside sea creatures.
Our favorite way to toast the New Year? Bubbly filled hand-blown Astier de Villatte and La Soufllerie glassware. May your cup runneth over with all that brings you joy in 2026.
Golden opportunities abound – and silver ones, too – this holiday season. Our shops are stocked with gilded antiques, including 19th-century architectural elements, seating, and mirrors and art in gilded wood frames. French Globes de Mariée marriage cloches from the 1800s feature intricate wedding mementos such as tiaras, veils, and dried and gilded flowers, elegantly displayed under glass domes.
Creased, wrapped, sealed, tagged, and tied with a bow, our paper goods come in many festive forms. From notepads that house to-do lists, to postcards penned with holiday wishes, to wrapping paper adorned in timeless 18th & 19th century prints, our paper expressions are sure to delight.

A quiet taper greets the turning year... welcome new year with our collection of candles: sets from British Colour Standard, food candles, and more along with holders from Astier de Villatte, and La Soufflerie.
Our popular “Holiday Tree” design is featured in this month’s dive into the drawer. A tiny cut-out of a tree from a 19th-century scrapbook in John’s collection adorns plates, trays, charms and more.
This year marks the 30th anniversary of John’s first shop in New York. A few years after starting his one-man decoupage design business in Boston, he moved to New York in the early 1990s. As orders increased, he hired a team of artisans to craft his motifs and opened his first shop in 1995 on 2nd Street in the East Village... a quiet block that would soon become his creative hub.
