Dried eucalyptus bundles from Faiza Naturals, hand-harvested and hand-tied from Southern California groves. Each bundle is approximately 4 inches in length and composed entirely of eucalyptus stems and leaves. The material smolders when lit, releasing the plant's characteristic camphor-and-mint volatile oils into the air.
Smudge bundles occupy a specific overlap between functional object and room scent — they're neither candle nor diffuser, but share shelf space with both. The dried botanical form holds its shape well and reads as a natural, low-intervention counterpoint to more processed home fragrance formats. They work alongside ceramic vessels, raw stone objects, or dried floral arrangements without competing.
Use one as a room-clearing ritual or simply display it as a fragrant dried botanical. Set it in a heatproof vessel or abalone shell before lighting. The slow smolder fills a room gradually; the unlit bundle itself continues to release mild scent as it dries. Keep out of drafts and away from flammable materials; never leave a lit bundle unattended.

Found Honestly.
Edited Relentlessly.
We don't buy objects just to fill shelves. We look for pieces that possess a soul; objects that have survived trends and remained essential.
Our collection is the result of 20 years of following our gut. Each piece is hand-inspected by Matt and the team in Cincinnati to ensure it meets our standard of permanent beauty.
FAQ
If you have a question that isn't here, just ask. That's what we're here for.
Housewares covers the things a house runs on that aren't furniture. At High St. that means kitchen and tabletop, barware, candles and room scents, garden and floral, decorative goods and holiday. If you serve with it, pour from it, plant in it or set it on a surface because you like looking at it, it's housewares.
Buy for four jobs, something to serve on, something to store in, something to set the table with and something to finish it. A set of nesting bowls, one good canister, cloth napkins and a cheese knife set cover most kitchens. Pieces that only do one narrow thing end up in the back of a drawer.
Kitchen decor changes how the room looks, and kitchen accessories are the pieces you use. A tray on the counter or a pot of herbs on the sill is decor. A cake stand, a canister or a set of napkins is an accessory. The best ones do both, which is why we keep them in one collection.
Barware is one part of housewares, the shelf for mixing, pouring and serving drinks. Housewares is the whole collection around it, from serveware and planters to candles and decorative objects. If it holds a drink or makes one, look in barware first.
Start with the finish and where the pot will spend the winter. Unglazed terracotta breathes and suits plants that hate wet roots, but it holds water and can crack in a freeze. Glazed pots have a sealed surface and take a covered porch more easily. Bergs Potter's Copenhagen runs from 10cm to 35cm, so a group of sizes is easy to build.
Pick something they'll use every week or use up. A Bergs Potter pot for a windowsill, a jar of Boozy Cherries for the first round of Manhattans, or French Home's Laguiole cheese knives for the first party all work. Every purchase leaves in High St. branded tissue and a premium bag with cord handles and a gold-foil logo.
No. We don't carry pots and pans or small appliances. We stock the part of the kitchen that gets looked at, serveware, canisters, linens, utensils and pantry goods.
