Clever, and Christmas is coming!

Turn a simple wooden expandable rack into a charming Christmas ornament display! 🎄✨ Hang your favorite baubles across the lattice, then weave warm fairy lights around the frame for an extra cozy glow. Add a few pine sprigs and a festive bow to finish the look. It’s a clever DIY way to decorate an empty wall without needing another Christmas tree. ❤️

OMG! Have you ever seen a more beautiful coffee grinder for your morning cup of Joe? This gorgeous grinder likely did duty in a store, grinding coffee for patient customers. Dave and Barbara estimate that it is circa 1875. It is in absolutely beautiful condition. The drawer that holds the ground coffee is not shown in the picture, but is safely stored in a file so that it doesn’t mysteriously “go missing.“

We are open 11 to 5 daily in historic Railroad Square. Located at 130 Fourth Street.

Ever get that “sinking” feeling? This one is a real beauty. Dee offers this late Victorian walnut piece that’s been converted to a wash stand. There’s a lovely brass sink, and the mirror is part of the package.
