About The Old Grey Mare

Our Service Pledge To You:
I will respond to all questions or orders within 24 hours, and usually less, except on some Sundays. As a successful, full time antique dealer, I stand behind all my merchandise and guarantee its authenticity. Your pleasure in the items you purchase from me is my primary concern, and I try hard to keep my prices reasonable and affordable. I am dedicated to client satisfaction--for me, there is only one kind of client--a happy one! I offer discounts to all repeat buyers on Ruby Lane, just as I do in my shop and at the antique shows. I'm happy to arrange layaways to suit your needs, at no extra charge. I'm proud of the repeat clientele that I have built up over the years, in my bricks and mortar store and at the antique shows, so I am delighted to have built a repeat business of satisfied clients on Ruby Lane as well. Please do not hesitate to contact me if I may be of any assistance.

Thanks so much for your confidence, for your compliments, for visiting my shop, and for all your purchases. Your support is so very appreciated!

Canine and equine antiques are a specialty and I'm always looking for the finest horse and dog things I can find. I have been collecting decorative tins for over 30 years, so you'll always find a good selection of old biscuit, toffee and mustard tins in my shop. But my collections and interests are varied, so there is no telling what I might find, and offer on Ruby Lane.

A lifelong horsewoman, my husband and I own a horse farm outside Houston, with over 80 horses in residence. He is a horse trainer and judge, while I mostly concentrate on my antiques these days. I travel both here and abroad searching for wonderful treasures, and I have a booth at antique shows and horse shows across the country. I'm set up every Spring and Fall on the back aisle of the Big Red Barn, part of the original Round Top Antique Fair. I love to offer interesting and unusual pieces of quality at reasonable prices. My Ruby Lane shop has just a small sampling of my inventory, if you are looking for something specific, do let me know. And of course, I am always looking to buy the interesting and unusual, so contact me if you have something fabulous to sell. And do follow me on Twitter, I am, of course, DexterGrass.
