	Easter and Spring Gift Ideas Look no further! We have some wonderful, unique items for you to choose from. They have been chosen from our reclaimed wood items, vintage and collectibles and brand new items from New England that have just been added. Gift ideas for family and friends, children and adults.

	Reclaimed Wood Products All of the reclaimed wood that we use is local, reclaimed from collapsing barns, a Georgian Stable Block, a Victorian Milking Parlour and other structures near our home in North Yorkshire. William Morris said that you should have nothing in your home that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful ~ Once Upon a Pine's pieces marry those two concerns perfectly.

	Traditional New England Once Upon a Pine combines the dual heritage of a New Englander and an Englishman. Heléne was born there and she and Alan have lived in both Vermont and Massachusetts during their married life. Our home reflects our love of the freshness and traditions of the sea and many other aspects of New England. We have replicated many of the handcrafted and reclaimed wooden New England items we designed for our own home for you to enjoy in the comfort of yours. More items are being added as we continually replicate our personal favourites and create new ones for you to have in your own home.

	Vintage Clocks - Reclaimed Wood, Slate & Fabric Our passion for unusual vintage clocks especially those that are created from materials with a sense of history and tradition are reflected in those we create. We are pleased to introduce our growing range which includes Reclaimed Wood Clocks ~ some with historical images; a reclaimed wood kitchen clock with a herb box; Reclaimed Vermont Slate Clock and Custom Vintage Fabric Clocks. Each reclaimed wood and vintage clock comes with a personalised Provenance tag, telling you where the wood was sourced for your handcrafted timepiece.

	Vintage Gifts & Collectibles History and Tradition accompany items of quality which span many decades. It is our desire to bring this sense of history and warm reminders of the past into your home. We are passionate about discovering and collecting antiques, vintage items and unique quality collectibles from talented artists and men and women who create unique handcrafted items. New additions are being constantly added as we steadily unpack our tea chests after their travels around the world, following us as we have spent many years moving back and forth between England and America.

	Historical Images on Reclaimed Wood We have combined selected pieces of reclaimed wood with vintage images, photographs, old postcards and advertisements from our collection of English Women’s Magazines dating from 1912 -1949 as well as a selection of artist's drawings from years gone by. These unusual items can be used as wall decoration or placed upon any flat surface to create an original addition to your home. They are certain to provide a talking point as they awaken memories and interest in people of all generations. Each reclaimed wood image comes with a personalised Provenance tag, telling you where the wood was sourced for your handcrafted memory.

	Vintage Linens Linens with a sense of history, complement any home. Vintage linens are as appealing and appropriate in a home with modern furnishings and decor as they are in ones which depict an owner's love of all things antique and vintage or one who favours a 'shabby chic' appearance. Our period bedroom and kitchen linens have been collected over many years. They have either been purchased and never used by their owners or stored carefully and treasured by the owner when not in use. Our vintage bedroom linens shown are from England; our kitchen linens feature tablecloths from America depicting scenes and places popular in homes in the 1950's and treasured by today's collectors of items from that nostalgic era.
