Its name clearly does not define this business. The Italian community knows to come here for Pizzelle machines for cookies and Cavatelli machines for gnocchi and now is the time to find them on sale (see below).

Designers are here to help you with curtains (free installation), and they have the exclusive Hunter Douglas Alustra line of shades. There’s a Bridal Registry, and those who like collectibles will find: Precious Moments, Walt Disney Collection and Disney Traditions by Jim Shore.

If you are looking for ecological cookware, they sell Cool Kitchen, which has no PTFE, no PFOA and can be used for induction cooking.  Do you know where else to buy cotton handkerchiefs?
