Collectibles & Gifts for Collectors

Antique & Collectible Shopping

Rare memorabilia, lovely antiques & unsual gifts are found here. We have divided this area into 'shops' with fixed prices, and 'auctions' where you bid for deals.

Why buy collectibles as gifts? "Nostalgia is certainly a good reason to buy, sometimes even if the piece itself has no great aesthetic appeal, but the past offers an even better reason for buying. While a topple to the floor could turn treasure to dust rather quickly, glass and pottery have a sense of time about them that we don't find often, less often today than ever. Much of our day is about speed. Now isn't soon enough. But we have vases that stretch across generations and across borders, altering our sense of time and space. They aren't eternal, but the help us imagine a bridge between then, and now, and then. Our work day may be measured in the seconds we have to complete each task, but at home time is a matter of generations and eras. "
