We truly enjoy the outdoors and traveling, and have found that we have accumulated a wide array of eclectic and classic collectibles from clocks to luggage to lamps and furniture on our journeys. We love old appliances, garden art & folk art, unique frames (sometimes with & sometimes without prints!) from the past, as well as postcards, books & music. We occasionally come across interesting glassware, ceramics and pottery, and have begun to gather those, too, sometimes for a pretty print, or a dramatic color, or just because it speaks to us!

Recently we've come across some wonderful architectural items (some would call them salvage) such as the outstanding red glass transom window and a couple of wonderful wood air duct grates; you really can find all KINDS of interesting collectibles here!

We also understand that a great item can sometimes have some imperfections and can still be useful and/or decorative and appreciated . We PREFER to sell perfect condition merchandise, but occasionally we find a treasure that just needs a little imagination and a second chance! If so, we make a point to describe and photograph any and all flaws.

I have a fabulous Christmas mug of my mother's...a handsome Saint Nicholas with a badly broken handle. He still gets fresh greens draped in his cup each winter and is put out on a shelf to smile and dazzle through out the holiday season!

We also are avid collectors of vintage clothing, accessories and jewelry: please see our "sister" stores, The Vintage Merchant (for clothing and accessories from the 20's to the 70's for men, women and kids) and Aaralyn's Velvet Dragonfly (for estate and vintage costume jewelry) also here on Ruby Lane. We will GLADLY combine orders from our three shops to reduce shipping, and often offer discounts for multiple item purchases.
