We grew up in the retail business and have had our own shop (a real store...not a fake ebay or amazon or other web store since 1964), part time at first while we worked for Sears for 30+ years and then full time. Paid for with our money. We have real brick & mortar shop, where you may come look, touch and feel the merchandise. We have selected items based on quality and integrity, companies and individuals that believe in what they are doing and not just trying to make a quick buck.
We now carry on the tradition of Susan's parents, who started the business in 1964 and established a well known antique and collectible shop in Chadds Ford, Chester County, Pennsylvania. They featured early American tools, furniture, kitchen items and art and crafts from our early American history. The shop’s customer list includes collectors, artists, historians and everyday shoppers from the Eastern United States. Her long time customers included such famous artists such as Andrew and Jamie Wyeth who stopped in on a regular basis.
