Spring 2008! Life always seems so full of HOPE this time of year for me. Our year of transition is coming along nicely now. Our office remodel and warehouse reorganizing should be completed by summer. This is keeping our lives VERY interesting lately for sure. I am still behind in getting fresh items listed as regularly as I had hoped them to be. Soon! Soon! Thank you for your continuing support and for stopping back by. We have been really busy these first 3 months of the year and we are gearing up for a fantastic decade here on Ruby Lane!

Be on the lookout for an article by Purple Packrat's Nest in the Past Times newsletter coming up in the next month. We have been asked to write an article again for the newsletter. This one is special to my heart. More later on the article!

We have added all major credit cards, Visa, MC, Discover, American Express, etc. for your shopping convenience.




Winter 2007-2008

This is the year of organization for our warehouse. I apologize in advance for any delay in shipping,but please bare with us as we go through this improvement. Any time that you have over 1000 items stored away, there comes a time when something has gotten moved and not recorded. It becomes a nightmare....2007 was a very busy year! Thanks to YOU; [EACH and EVERY ONE of my customers] for our success! You all have been so wonderful.

I have gone shopping for you again. I apologize for the delay of regular listing as I promised earlier this year. I have tons of items to list and I have had a few camera problems. My dog, Boogie, of 15 years passed away the third week of February after being very sick the last few months prior. I should have my camera back from the service center and I will be up and running again, so watch out! Loads more items are on their way for you. I do appreciate your patronage and your patience. I could NOT do 'this' without YOU. Please remember that.

Please feel free to email me with your wants and special requests. I do try to frequent the local estate sales and auctions here in the Metro Atlanta area to find fresh items for you. I will add yours if you email me; as I already carry my customers 'wants and need lists' with me as I am out and about treasure hunting!


===============================================

Welcome to the World of a “Purple Packrat’s Nest”!. A Purple Packrat’s Nest is all about the true collector, finding the most unusual item at astounding prices.

I have been a collector of antiques and collectibles for over thirty years. As a true collector and an e-commerce retailer, I shop daily; estate sales, auction houses, and antique stores. I often buy full estates and have a reputation in the industry, of getting there early for the best items. By having that buying power, I can then offer my client base a greater variety of merchandise at very affordable prices.

As a collector for years I have a warehouse full of antiques and collectibles. If you are searching for an item please do not hesitate to e-mail me or call me and if I have it in my collection, I will be more than happy to have it listed for you.

Renee, just wanted you to know that the tea pot arrived in perfect condition this morning and I just love it. It will find a very comfortable home with me & my other assorted teapots. I can't wait to get it home. Thanks again for your patience and your care with this order.

Hope you are feeling better from the flu or whatever!

Hi Renee,

"I just wished to take a moment to stop and thank you for your
write up on Deltiology; it was so interesting. I have been
collecting now for about four years and find it just so
inspiring. It not only is a reflection of the past, but is
usually done in such Old Fashioned beauty---something not seen in
today's cards. Your extra information was very much appreciated
and I want to thank you personally for offering it. May God
Bless You.
C.J.~"

I am a retailer who is interested in “moving the merchandise”, so please be sure that you visit our Sale merchandise by typing in SALE in the search box. I also am more than interested in hearing a reasonable offer on any of my items your heart may desire.

We have added all major credit cards, Visa, MC, Discover, American Express, etc. for your shopping convenience.

We try to ship Daily. Say you buy something on a Sunday and pay for it at checkout, then you should have it in your hands by mid-week.

Having a large family and finding myself in the kitchen morning noon & night, I have fallen in love with vintage cookware. As soon as I can get them photographed, you will find that I have large collections of cast iron pots & pans, copper pots, Blue Ridge-Southern Potteries, and I will continue to go through my nest and list my prize collections as well.

Coming soon I will be listing more primitive kitchenware; utensils, vintage Pyrex. Also coming soon will be some gorgeous sterling and silver plated items, (bear with me as I have my children polish these items)! LOL!

Again thank you for stopping by & shopping a Purple Packrat’s Nest, we appreciate your visiting with us. If you should have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to e-mail me or call me and keep me in mind with letting me know what item you are searching for.

We are updating our site on a bi-monthly basis to meet your ever-changing requirements, so we invite you to visit us often.
