Primitives by Kathy
Like all great ideas, Kathy’s started with a challenge – trying to find unique products for her paint studio and retail store in Lancaster, Pennsylvania that she owned with her Mother for over 10 years.
Inspired by her desire for unique and creative items to fill her own shelves, Kathy took matters into her own hands, literally. She designed the first “primitive candle box” in 1997. Crafting the box by hand, taking care into each detail from the sanded edges to the type of ribbon tied on the wire handles, each was a work of passion.
Driven by her innate creativity and entrepreneurial spirit – the product that started it all was born.
Sid Dickens
Initially trained as a sculptor, Sid Dickens was quickly distinguished in the early 90s for his groundbreaking, unconventional, and prolific Memory Blocks. Describing himself as extremely motivated and a relentless beholder, Sid continues to take inspiration from his travels and constant research around the world. With numerous adoring fans and celebrity collectors like Sir Elton John, Liv Tyler, Dolce & Gabanna, Bono, Sting, Phil Collins and Hilary Duff, his name and unique Memory Blocks are recognized worldwide.
Innovative finishes are achieved by his own process of working through experimentation with an unusual combination of materials and techniques. For some of the designs he has literally invented his own glazing formulas - structured to emphasize and challenge specific attributes of plaster and to respond to each piece's unique architectural volume.

Tiedtkes Coffee
In 1893, Ernest and Charles Tiedtke opened a small grocery store in Toledo, Ohio. By 1910, Tiedtke’s was arguably the most popular department store in the region, if not the country. One of the most memorable attractions was Tiedtke’s coffee, roasted in giant red roasters right in the middle of the store. The aroma permeated each department, drawing shoppers to the rich taste of coffee from the roasted beans. During peak times, customers enjoyed almost 1,000 cups of Tiedtke’s coffee a day.
Today, still roasted in Toledo, Ohio, Tiedtke’s Coffee offers the same full-bodied flavor of traditions past.
