About Alley Cat Lane Antiques and Collectibles

Our Service Pledge To You:
Customer satisfaction is my priority. I always try my best to keep my customers happy by maintaining good communications, keeping them informed on shipping dates, and providing careful packaging for shipment. Any problems that arise are quickly and fairly resolved, although I am proud to say they rarely occur.

Items purchased with a money order, personal check less than $50, or Paypal will be mailed the next business day (barring unforeseen circumstances). Items purchased with a check will be mailed 10 days after deposit of the check to give it time to clear the bank if the check amount is over $50. Fragile items are carefully wrapped in bubble wrap and packed in packing peanuts.

About Us
Find wonderful antiques and collectibles at Alley Cat Lane to evoke memories of the past or of a loved one, to add to a treasured collection, or to just enhance the beauty of your home. We specialize in smalls - particularly china, porcelain, pottery, small trinket boxes, duck decoys, vintage kitchenware, collector plates, figurines, and other small collectibles. You can find Lladro, Fenton, Westmoreland, Beswick, Harmony Kingdom, Halcyon Enamels, and various other manufacturers, as well as items produced by individual artists, such as hand carved duck decoys.

This business is my passion! I started out as a seller on Ebay in December of 1998 where my excellent customer service and integrity have produced 100% positive feedback ratings (alleycatjunklady) thus far. Over a six year period, I enjoyed maintaining booths at brick and mortar antique shops in Thomasville and Bainbridge, Georgia, as well as Havana, Florida. After establishing my Internet business on Ruby Lane in July,2003, I gradually closed all four antique and collectibles booths in order to concentrate on Internet sales. Since March, 2006, I have been exclusively on the Internet. I certainly don't miss having to constantly rearrange and dust the items in the brick and mortar booths!

I love the hunt! I frequent auctions and estate sales, and am constantly looking for new items wherever I go. It gives me an extra thrill when I am able to find customers that special item they have been searching for to complete their set, add to a collection, or bring back fond memories of someone special in their life.

Hope you like what you see in my shop. Please don't hesitate to email or call me if you have any questions or concerns. Your feedback and suggestions are also greatly appreciated. If you want to leave feedback for me with Ruby Lane, you can send them an email with your comments by clicking on "help" on any page of the site. I also have begun listing comments from customers on my shop home page (see below) with their permission. I would love to add your comments to the list when our transaction has been completed.

Recent Customer Feedback:

"Hi Carolyn, I did get my things last week and I am so happy with
them! The colors are so vivid on the cream and sugar that they
almost glow. I was impressed with the "weightiness" of the
necklace. I was a "Beauty Advisor" for Estee Lauder for a while
so this was a extra special find. Thanks again"
Jacqueline, Willits, CA

"Hi Carolyn,
I received it [silverplate flatware set] today and it is lovely! I am so happy! Thank you very much!"
Janelle, Carlsbad, CA

"Thank you so much for the quick delivery. The item was great. Very
professional follow-up. I've been very impressed with the vendors
associated with Ruby Lane."
Sheree , Tampa, FL

"Carolyn,
Re: Purchase Order #.... Your package arrived promptly and all in good order. The kittens are beautiful. As always it is a pleasure to do business with you and I look forward to doing so again in the future."
Best regards,
Diana, Poolesville, MD

"Hi Carolyn,
Just letting you know that my two beautiful cats arrived today safe and sound - thank you very much! They are both wonderful - especially the porcelain lace! I love how delicate the collar is!
Thanks so much for letting me know you were going to list them so I would have a chance to buy them! If ever you come across the paperwork - I know sometimes they turn up - could you let me know as I would definitely buy them - all my pieces so far have the p'work apart from these two but I just didn't want to pass them up! Anyway, many thanks once again.
All the best,"
Cathy, Kent Town, Australia

"Carolyn,
Thank you for the follow-up! Yes, I got my kitties yesterday; thank you so much for such a speedy response to my order! All 4 of the kitties are wonderful! I get to keep two and the other two go to my sister as gifts....I will look forward to doing business with you again in the future..."
Best Wishes,
Margaret, Littleton, CO

"The cat candle holder arrived and is as I knew it would be---beautiful! ! ! Over the years I have gotten hundreds of pieces of forest green glass for my sister. She has most of the dishes and glasses and now I try for an unusual piece for her every Christmas and was thrilled to find the cat. The whole buying process with you was wonderful and look forward to looking for more green treasures." Sally, Mooresville, NC

"Hi Carolyn,
Just wanted to let you know that the little cat arrived safely today and I'm very happy with him! I've always loved these cats but the real ones cost a fortune, so it's nice to have this little Franklin Mint version. Can't help but smile looking at him! Thanks so much for giving me the opportunity to add him to my collection and for making this such a
pleasant transaction! I will be sure to keep an eye on all your future listings on Rubylane! Thanks again and have a great evening!!"
Sincerely,
Susan, Cary, NC

"Hi Carolyn
Just letting you know that the three Curio cats arrived today - so fast! I couldn't believe it - you must ship by rocket! Anyway, they were all OK - safe and sound - your packing is
excellent. I'm always a bit nervous with breakables. Thank you so much - I'm very pleased to add these three to my collection. I think I did tell you that I had collected some when they originally came out in the '80's."
All the best,
Cathy, Kent Town, Australia

"Dear Carolyn,
My step-dad had ordered the three Lenox plates from you to be shipped here to Kentucky. They arrived Monday and I was completely flabbergasted! They are so beautiful! He was too generous to me, but I thank you for having them available and for packing them so well that they arrived in pristine condition."
Regards,
Sherry, Elk Horn, KY

"Hello Carolyn,
Yes, my box arrived safely, and I am just delighted with my new treasures. The mini cats are everything I expected -- isn't it a wonder how so much personality can be put in such a small package! The cobalt one is in the position I most associate with my girl, Maggie. We called it her 'queen' mood. But I always knew she was content and happy when she lay that way.
I'm extremely fond of blue and white items, so the Delft cat satisfies my need for both cat figures ad blue and white pieces.
The Sadler vanity box is just perfect. The size is so nice -- a little deeper than most vanity boxes -- that's to hold my huge diamonds, don't you know (very big grin). I love the creamy colored background, a nice change from plain white.
And the compote is exactly the color I had hoped. I have a couple of pieces this color which needed something with a bit of height. The compote works beautifully.
So, yes, I'm very happy, and can assure you I will be constantly browsing for other goodies to 'speak' to me.
I've enjoyed getting acquainted with you, and certainly admire your professional but warm attitude. Thanks bunches!
Until next time,"
Virginia,Wichita, KS

"Carolyn, it did arrive today! It's beautiful and it's going to be the perfect gift for my friend. Thank you for your prompt and courteous attention to our order. Hope to order from you again in the future."
Dave, Brigadoon, Ct.

"Dear Carolyn,
Thank you for sending these beautiful plates! They were ordered to replace a few casualties over the years from my mother-in-law's collection, and they arrived healthy and gorgeous. We will certainly turn to you again when looking for new treasures!"
Beth, Seattle, WA

"Carolyn, I am in love with the Mushroom piece. It arrived very quickly and in perfect condition! I am very pleased. I hope we can do business again in the future....I have never purchased from or heard of Ruby Lane until now.
I must say, it is one of my most enjoyable experiences to date. Thanks so much,"
Nancy, Odessa, FL

"Hi Carolyn,the shakers came yesterday.They are beautiful.My daughter in law will go nuts.Thank you so much for your excellent service."
Florence, Westerly, RI

"Good Afternoon Carolyn
Rec'd my shipment this afternoon. It is in mint condition! I am so happy to get these and I am sure my neices will enjoy them long after I am gone. Especially since they were served lemonade in these back in the 60's. Thanks ever so much. Regards"
Betty , Chattanooga, TN

"Dear Carolyn,
YES!! The plate arrived yesterday in PERFECT condition, thanks in no small part to your careful packaging!
I am SO thrilled to have found this particular piece, because I have the cider pitcher in that pattern. ...Thanks so much for offering it, and for the speedy delivery!
Sincerely,
Melody
PS ~ I've attached a picture of the pitcher for your enjoyment!

Hey Carolyn!
I thought you would enjoy seeing the pitcher!
Please feel free to use quotes from my email(s).
You have been so awesome! I wish ALL internet sellers
were so wonderful to do business with! Thanks again & happy selling!"
Melody, Suwanee, GA

Dianne, Laurens, SC

"Carolyn,
Thank you for the quick delivery. I really like the goblets. I'm so excited to be able to add on to my parents collection for them. It was hard finding something that they don't have, so thank you so much. I will definitely shop through you again."
Trisha, Chetek, WI

"Yes we got it, thanks it's perfect. ...Have a great day, it was wonderful doing business with you. You certainly bring a warm and personal human element to what would
otherwise be a "virtual" internet shopping experience."
Michael, Houston, TX

"As a first time buyer it was fun and a little scary. Everything went smoothly no problems. Thanks Carolyn for your help. " Mary, Goleta, CA
