About Now and Then

Our Service Pledge To You:
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 18 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:

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

My purchase arrived safely and I just love it!! I can not thank you enough for the sheet music. You are a wonderful seller.
Many thanks again, Betty

The trade cards arrived and were so well packed I could not believe it. Thank you so much and will keep looking to order from you again. D.M.

I received the Fanny Farmer 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

I received the book yesterday and I am very pleased with it. It's in great condition and the patterns are lovely. Thank you for packing it so carefully. It has been a pleasure doing business with you. Thanks again! Sandra
