Welcome to our new eBay store where you’ll find a variety of, well…. just about anything! We are just beginning so please bare with us as our store grows! Our inventory consists of items we’ve accumulated for our own home that stems from our passion for vintage merchandise familiar to us from our own childhood, or simply our interest and respect for items from a time past. After 20 some odd years of accumulation through estate, garage, antique and tag sales, we are now ready to let go of some of these treasures and share them with you. We will be adding inventory regularly, so keep checking back to see what we have uncovered in our basement, garage, attic…(well, you get the picture). We hope you enjoy browsing our store as much as we enjoy re-discovering our ‘finds’.
