Miniature Tea Sets

These two charming tea sets have a matching teapot and cup and saucer.  Each are solid pieces which means you'll never lose a lid or separate the cup from the saucer. The teapots are about 2" high and the cup and saucer just over an 1" high. I have discovered that they are a perfect size for some of my Tilda dolls!

You Light Up My Life

Somewhere along the way of putting together our vintage store my husband and I found ourselves drawn to a wide variety of lamps from many eras. Ranging in age from the late 1800s to the 1980s we enjoy the diversity of styles. Some have a timeless, classic feel and others transport you to another time and place. I will try to share them here so you can enjoy a virtual tour of our growing collection!

Vintage Hanky Dresses

I was trying to find a classier way to display some of the dainty and beautiful hankies in our shop so I saw some wonderful old cards and other ways to  show hankies and decided to work on a dress theme. So after, some designing and redesigning I finally came up with  a simple holder that shows off the simple beauty of these. Many are simple hankies with gorgeous tatted or crocheted edgings. Enjoy!

Antique sideboard buffet

Not sure what the correct name for this piece is but it's a real beauty with unique features that I wanted to share. Notice the ball and claw foot and the shelf supports shaped like a lion head.

A great group of titles here...only one has a date 1919.
These are a wonderful addition to our shop. Titles include Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Oliver Twist, Notre Dame, Catherine, The Count of Monte Cristo and The Three Musketeers.
