NOTICE OF STORE CLOSING

It is with a sense of sadness and pride that we inform our many customers that our store will be closing at the end of this month, with the last day of business scheduled for Saturday, October 29, 2011.  We have greatly appreciated the enthusiasm and loyalty that have helped sustain and grow the business over the past two years.  Thank you all for your valued support.  We have worked hard on a business that simply could not survive the challenges of this poor economy.  Customers who have items on layaway are asked to immediately make arrangements to pay off their balance and pick up those items on or before closing day.  Please contact us with any questions or concerns.

Much of our unsold merchadise will now be sold at auctions produced and coordinated by Hamilton Antique & Auction Gallery in Tacoma, WA.  Their next auction on Sunday, October 16, will feature our extensive inventory of antique and collectible toys.  You may attend the auction in person, or bid online at any of several auction houses:  Proxibit, AuctionZip, and iCollector.  Several upcoming auctions will feature the remainder of all shop items.

The appraisal and estate sale management sectors of our business will continue into the future, and those services will be expanded, and provided without interruption.  Please direct any questions or concerns to store co-owner and manager, Ron Martinez.

*WELCOME. CLICK HERE FOR INFORMATION ON ESTATE SALES*

After many years working out of our rural location, we opened a 2,000 sq. ft. shop in the heart of historic Marysville, WA, in 2009 .  The location is 1515 3rd Street, just off State Avenue, with plenty of free street parking throughout the area.  The shop is between Finders Keepers and Oosterwyks Dutch Bakery. We are proud of our reputation and popularity among collectors, from beginning to advanced. Store hours are Tuesday-Saturday 10-5 (closed Sun./Mon.), with extended hours for the holiday season.  Contact us at (360) 659-0100, and check out all our pages on Facebook (please Like Us), and Twitter.

A Special Destination

(now the location only of our art gallery, open by appointment only)
Located on 10 acres of natural vegetation, wildlife, and Weiser Creek, is our art gallery. During your shopping breaks, take a quiet stroll up and down forested and garden paths. Sit and meditate, get glimpses of deer, rabbits, and squirrels, and take in the beautiful views, especially at sunset. Meet our lovable, resident pet Jacxon (a cairn terrier). You and your guests are always welcome by appointment.

Expansion Goals Met!
Over the past few years we have tripled the size of the antique shop, developed our refinishing and restoration services, expanded our estate sale management services, added a full and magical art gallery, opened our tea garden, and developed more gardens and pathways to quiet spaces for reflection and visual splendor. Some areas are now even available for weddings and other private functions and affairs.
