As the founders of CityFinds Inc., we appreciate and respect the wonderful talents of craftspeople and artists around the world. We love to travel in search of handmade treasures, meet the artists and learn their stories. Every find, whether it is a piece of stunning jewelry, an intricate wallhanging, or a hand made accessory, represents the hard work and talent of a dedicated individual. And each find tells its own story, about culture, experience or expression.

With our three young children in tow, we make our buying trips an experience: learning about techniques, styles and traditions; and purchasing those certain finds that feel especially right. The result is evident in our home, where we’ve surrounded ourselves with eclectic, rare treasures, many of which remind us of a place, a person, or an experience that made an impression on our family. These pieces - whether dramatic, whimsical, or functional - add texture, color and culture to our everyday life.

When we entertain, our guests are delighted to “window shop” in our home, often asking more than once, “Where did you get this?” That question, a love of the arts and our excursions, and the simple fun of shopping for items no one else has found, inspired us to create a business out of our passion. The result - CityFinds Inc.

We already have developed many relationships in every corner of the world. And, although we haven’t traveled to every location yet, we will - meeting new people and discovering new finds along the way.

And so begins a totally new concept in home show shopping and a new way to connect to our global community. We search for unique and rare finds and bring them right into your home. A CityFinds show is always fun - and NEVER boring - and every show gives back to the arts. CityFinds automatically donates 5% of all sales to charities that support art education or training and education for under-served women and children, particularly those in areas devastated by HIV/AIDS. Additionally, the proceeds from certain sales go directly to our Philanthropy For the Arts Program, founded in conjunction with singer, Jerry Vale and his daughter, artist Pamela Vale Branch.

You and your guests will have the opportunity to learn about and purchase these rare, meaningful finds while supporting the artists. The end result: hopefully you gain a stronger connection to our global community. And we know you will treasure and enjoy your beautiful finds for years to come.

We are certainly having a great time shopping for you and we know you will have a great time shopping with us!
