I have been in business in the same location almost 20 years with 2400 square feet of "anything to everything". Since I try not to specialize (I get bored easily), the inventory is ever-changing and you never know what you'll find here. AND, I'm "dealer friendly". AND, I do buy - one item or an estate.. |

WE BUY -- As owner-operator, I'm almost always "on duty" and appreciate opportunities to take a look at old treasures of which you may need to dispose. Call ahead to make an appointment with me or I can come to you if you're not sure what may be of interest to me. |

LAMPSHADES - Do you have a great old lamp but the shade is in shreds or completely missing? We will re-cover your old frame or (if you bring your lamp) help you choose the perfect frame and select the perfect covering from our selection of fabrics and trims. We have the most fun with VICTORIAN SHADES, but we do a lot of the simpler shades, too. LIGHTING - Since we love to "get lit", you will always find many choices of restored vintage floor, table, wall and ceiling lighting. We also offer very reasonable lighting repair-restoration. |

FURNITURE - I usually have an assortment of walnut, oak, mahogany, cherry, pine and primitives as well as upholstered pieces. At any time, I could have "in the rough" pieces that need lots of TLC or a pristine walnut or oak bedroom set. GLASSWARE & CHINA - Pressed, pattern, cut, depression, art, chintz - if you collect it, you're liable to find it here. |

VINTAGE BOOKS -- CHILDRENS, COOK, MILITARY, CIVIL WAR, FICTION, HISTORY - just a few of the categories of used, rare and out-of-print books we offer. We also take "wants" and buy books of many categories. |

FARM PRIMITIVES -- Since I'm an old farm girl and since we're located in the heart of rural America, I usually have an assortment of farm related primitives. You may find wagon wheels, barn windows, hay tools, garden plows, chicken nests or feeders, wash tubs, primitive wheelbarrows or 2 wheel carts and miscellaneous "junk" that was used on the farm. |

Then, there's the TOYS, TOOLS, RAILROAD COLLECTIBLES - From Stanley planes to old implement wrenches; carpet stretching tools to railroad lanterns, locks, tools and paper items; our tools are varying and many. We also carry a general line of toys, 1960's and earlier, featuring many cars and trucks, Fisher Price, windups and battery ops and occasionally pedal vehicles. |

DOLL REPAIR - Porcelain and composition repairs; re-stringing, cloth or leather body and eye repairs; general cleaning of dolls/clothes/hair; wig and clothing replacement. All repairs done locally -- we don't ship your precious doll off somewhere. |
