*Hello Marie, Just wanted you to know that your package arrived safely into Califorrnia....everything is terrific as expected...many, many thanks again my dear lady for your gracious service. Sincerely, Rick

* Marie, I received the package today and am absolutely thrilled with the sugar bowl. It arrived in perfect condition and the packaging was awesome--no chance of breakage. Also, the sweet touch w/the purple rose was really nice. I so much prefer owning vintage and antiques as opposed to new; somehow the energy they bring into my life is peaceful and they are reminders of a time past that we'll never see again. Thanks - Pat

*Just opened your box & everything is lovely! I love the Guardian Coffee Pot and the little trinket box is the best! The "Handshake Pin," is so different & unique. As always, everything is in "Mint Condition." You do a great job of picking out really "cool," items, Marie. Thanks Emily

I received the Squeeze-it bottle opener. Thanks for the careful packing and attention to detail -- very happy with the quality of it. Thanks - Andrea

*The Chase piece came today. Thanks for the quick shipping, packing and service! Linda

*Hi Marie, I have visited your site several times since our initial contact and I will never visit Ebay again. I have added your site to my favorites and it was such a delight dealing with you, I will return. I have bought from the site before and it is always so comforting to feel you are dealing with knowledgeable professionals. Thank you again. Donna

*Hi, just to let you know I received this item yesterday. Thanks for the care in packing and the fast shipping. Hope to do business with you again. Gay

*Yes, they arrived safely and I love them. Thank you for all your help; if you need any type of referral, I'd be glad to give you A++ for product, communication, and friendliness. I'll keep my eye on your shop!
I continue to love my purchase and am very impressed you've kept me in your client base. I really appreciate it-means a lot to know I'm important and not just a one-time sale. Mary

The dishes arrived today in great shape mainly due to your great packing. Thank you for the time well spent.

About Us

Cross The Bridge and Time Travel With Us!

I’ve turned a passion for all things vintage into a business and I LOVE what I do! How many people are that fortunate? Matching people with their memories is what I like the best. There’s nothing I like better than to hear “My Mom or my Grandma had this and I can’t believe I found one just like it!

I purchase my items from Estate and Tag Sales, Auctions, Antique Shops and often travel to other states in my quest for the unique. You know what they say about “The Thrill of the Hunt”. I think Tag Sales are my favorite. There’s nothing I like better than rummaging through the bottom of an old box looking for treasures, cleaning them up and watching them come alive again. You’ll find my shop to be very eclectic. We have a variety of glass, pottery, deco, kitchenware and more. However, being eclectic means that I can’t be an expert in everything. I have an extensive library of reference books and will research an item there or on the Web to provide you with as much information as I can in the listing. I will also honestly describe the condition so there are no surprises when you receive it. I know it’s difficult to purchase something without being able to see it in person. I want you to be happy with your purchase and if you’re not, just return it. I know I can find it a good home.

In addition to our on-line shop I also sell from a Group Shop and do rotate items between the two. If you can’t find what you’re looking for here please ask me; it may be available in the Group Shop or I may be able to find it for you. Please stop by often because I frequently add new items. My Group Shop is called “Collinsville Antiques of New Hartford”. It’s on 238 Main St., Rt. 44 in New Hartford, CT. so if you’re in the area, please drop by and look for Booth #6. You can view the shop by clicking on the Favorite Links Icon on the Menu. If you'd like to pick up an item at the shop that you see on line that can be arranged.

Thanks so much for your patronage. Without YOU I couldn't do what I love!
