We were taken by a number of items at the  Tabula Tua website notably the dog bone frame, the geography glasses by Catstudio, Sushi set dinnerware, a Bingo Tray by Annie Modica, and Juliska's Isabella glass canisters. Vietri bakeware, Coltellerrie Berti handmade knives (including cigar cutters) and a Botanical Leaf trivet are included in the accessories collection.

Grace Tsao-Wu opened her bricks and mortar store in Chicago when she found that there were actually a number of American and European artisan studios making beautiful dinnerware - just no one was selling it under one roof.  She has expanded the lines from everyday tableware, serving pieces and accessories to other home furnishings to include rugs, furniture, clocks and pillows. There's no sales tax included in orders shipped out of Illinois.

Additionally, all Tabula Tua wedding registries are available online. It's possible can make purchases for  friends registered at Tabula Tua directly on the website and create a registry or wish list.

We also noticed a feature that allows you to find out what particular friends have bought at the website/store with a Facebook or mail connection.
