I provide prompt and honest service and personal attention to customer needs, so that your transaction with my Ruby Lane shop will always be a pleasant one.

About Us
My shop features vintage costume jewelry, buttons, clothing, books, postcards, sheet music, ephemera, photos, and whatever. I've been collecting and selling quality costume jewelry, from Victorian and Art Deco to the fabulous rhinestone pieces and classic timeless styles of the 1950s, for the past 20 years. Over time, I've expanded my interests to include vintage buttons and fashion buckles, postcards, photos, theatre programs and other ephemera, children's books, linens and period clothing. If you are shopping for antiques in lovely rural northeastern Connecticut, please visit the Antiques Marketplace in Putnam. You'll love this large multi-dealer shop, and the town too!

Comments from Happy Customers:

Just a note to let you know that I received the booklet I ordered. It was packaged beautifully and I appreciate the enclosed card--very classy. Keep up the good work! John

First, the napkins are lovely! I am so pleased. Secondly, the packaging was wonderful... the care that went into it, and the special touch you gave and the note/card. Thank you for a fabulous transaction! Janet

The two pieces of vintage sheet music just arrived in perfect shape. They are exactly as you described them and in excellent condition for framing. And priced right, too. I thank you. Joel

Your items arrived safely. I can see how much you value your customers & the items you sell, by the careful attention you gave to packing my items for shipment. The personal note was a nice touch. Natalie

I wanted to let you know that I am very pleased with the order which arrived yesterday in excellent condition. The hankies are very lovely and of great quality. This has been my first order at Ruby Lane. I will put your shop on top of my list when returning to Ruby Lane. V.W.

I received the Christmas blotter today. It is in beautiful condition and looks much more colorful in person. You had it packaged so nicely, too. I will definitely have to look at your Ruby Lane site every now and then (pun intended.) It has been wonderful doing business with you. Thanks again for everything. You're the best. Debbie
