Timeless (adj.):  1. Independent of time; eternal.  2. Unaffected by time; ageless.

We think timeless, in our case, conveys something that is simply enjoyed each time a person experiences the thing;  something that is durable;  something that takes the cares of the world away momentarily (causes one to transcend their concerns and worries if but for a moment).

Today’s post is a collection of timeless household items that we’ve discovered over the years. You’re probably familiar with most of them, but hopefully there are a few unknown gems in here for you. Although these items can be pricey, you’ll pass them down to your grandchildren – which is pretty cost effective.
