The Kept Well Relic Store
Not everything can be kept. But not everything should be discarded, either. One option our clients may choose is the Kept Well Relic Store.
The Kept Well Relic Store is a curated collection of meaningful objects from estate transitions and thoughtfully sourced vintage finds. The Relic Store offers your item a place in our stewardship until they find a new place to be cherished.
As storytellers, we welcome you to contribute to ours by sharing a piece of your item’s history, whether a name or detail we can list in the description on our site. While this is entirely optional, it allows us to honor the history you’ve carried until the piece is reclaimed by its next owner.
How Donation Works
When you donate to the Relic Store, ownership transfers to Kept Well. We have complete discretion regarding pricing, timing, and placement.
What we promise:
Fair stewardship and thoughtful placement
Items priced to find good homes, not maximize profit
Story preservation when you share it
Dignified alternatives if items don't sell (donation to appropriate organizations, offering to craftspeople for repurposing, etc.)
Tax-deductible donation receipt
Complete release — no follow-up required, no ongoing reporting
