STORE CLOSED - LIQUIDATION SALE IN PROGRESS



Yes, its sad but true - we closed our shop at the end of August.


We are moving on to a new phase of life and consequently liquidating all our remaining antiques. See new postings for pictures, prices and contact information.


Here are some of the pieces that we still have in storage. We really don't want to store them after we set of for California so in most cases we have reduced our prices to more than 70% off .
We do have some additional items so if you remember something from the shop let me know in case we still have it.

THANKS TO OUR WONDERFUL CUSTOMERS...

As we have slowly been liquidating our stock these past few weeks the support and encouragment of our customers has been immensely gratifying. I was amazed at the number of people who took the time to tell me how much they have enjoyed visiting our shop and how much they will miss us. Thank you all. I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know you and helping you find all those little treasures. It's been quite an experience - much more than I ever thought it would be, and I will be sad to see it end. But, its time to move on to new adventures. Thank you again. Alicia
