In 1981, Bob Page decided to turn his love for scouting flea markets into a business. The filing system? A recipe box filled with customers’ wish list items on 3×5 index cards. From those modest beginnings, the company, Replacements, Ltd, has become the go-to source for everything from vintage silver and crystal patterns to that missing piece in the heirloom china inherited from your grandmother. And now that it’s turning the big 4-0, we’re celebrating in kind.
In honor of the 40th anniversary, Flower has partnered with Replacements to host a four-week virtual party, and all lovers of china, silver, and crystal are invited to join. Each week, we will focus on 10 essentials for a different occasion, all handpicked by our style editor Amanda Smith Fowler. Welcome to Week 1, the Ultimate Cocktail Hour, and come back soon for our next installment.
