Textiles Report

We have dozens of country or formal table dressings: crocheted, hand embroidered, or damask in linen, cotton, silk and velvet. You'll find rugs, paisley shawls, lace curtains, and beautifully crocheted bedspreads among many other items. Note: Be sure to measure your table before you come so we can find the right table covering for you.

Traditional Mottos & Samplers Report

The first time someone buys a sampler/motto, they usually have no intention of collecting, but they do become addictive. One person may buy as many verses with "cottages" as she can find, then another person might collect "Colonial ladies", and yet another, all "black and white.". There are so many different ways to arrange and display them.

Accessories Report

In addition to our furniture and lighting we have many accessories for your home and even your workshop! Items include dishes, glassware, and pots; tablecloths, aprons, and vintage clothing; bookends, doorstops, paintings and prints, mirrors and rugs. Hundreds of frames, old tools, and outdoor gear like snowshoes. We can't possibly list them all here so bring a coat in case it is cool and come browse our shop!

Metals Report

Pewter and cast iron cookware (including Erie, Griswald, Wagner), brass & copper tea kettles, and cook pots, fireplace tools, cranes, fenders, screens, trivets and more. As long as there have been doors there have been doorstops. Early on they may have been a convenient rock or piece of furniture, but in the 19th and early 20th centuries, doorstops were manufactured as decorative items for the home. Generally cast in iron, they are avidly sought after by today's collectors. Let us help YOU begin your collection today!

Many treasures! A bit highly priced, but owner willing to bargain. A real Aladdin's Cave; worth several hours of poking around. Don't forget to look up; amazing vintage lamps required to work today.

If you want a days worth of stuff to look through, this is your place! Lots of variety from little things to furniture - 2 barns full! Chilly in winter but they usually offer hot cider. Cool for the spring and summer months! If you can't find something, Joan can help you!

Amazing! So many cool hidden gems. Make sure to ask to see the house out back. Joan had a lot of stories about each item and about the area in general. Well worth the short drive!
