We love old things! Even our home is an antique. Built in 1926 (old by Florida standards), it was once surrounded by stately oaks and a huge orange grove. The groves are gone now, replaced by housing developments and a 'four-lane' close by. Tampa sure has changed!
My husband and I have been in the antiques business for 18 years, and we've enjoyed every minute of it. Like most folks, we started by being collectors ourselves ~ over 30 years ago. As our interests grew, our collections grew, and also our knowledge. In 1991 we started selling in local antique malls and at shows. We love to travel, and soon our vacations became buying trips.
Ten years ago we turned to the WorldWideWeb! We love being a part of the internet, such as eCrater. Shoppers can spend hours here, just like at a brick & mortar mall, but your feet don`t get tired!
Our family consists of two dogs and two cats ~ and they always travel with us on our buying trips. Yes, they have chewed a few antiques, but it was our fault for leaving that clock finial and that Pluto squeak toy where they could get at them!
Customer satisfaction is important to us, and we strive to make sure that everyone who makes a purchase from us is pleased with their transaction. If not, we make it right. We`re glad you dropped by to meet us!
Here's what some of our customers have to say about us:
"Hi Evelyn...just received the little deer today & it is all that I had hoped it would be, thanks so much for being so prompt... Linda"
"I just opened the box and I can only say that the pictures didn't do it justice. The decoy is beautiful. It's the best in my little group of decoys by miles... Dennis"
"Evelyn: I received the sheep and they are perfect! They are just what I had hoped for, and will match my creche given to me as a child! You so carefully shipped these items, and they arrived in perfect condition! Thank you again, for advertising what you sell... Pam"
