wedding belles













Whether you're searching for the perfect dress, the finishing touches for your ensemble, a lovely frock or festive tie, or the perfect gift for the bride and groom, we have some wonderful options for you!

Come in and browse our fantastic collection of one-of-a-kind vintage gloves, all in mint condition with beautiful embroidery details, & our collection of beaded handbags & clutches. A romantic Holt Renfrew straw hat with a veil would beautifully top off your summer wedding ensemble, & keep you cool while looking chic.

Not least of all, we have a small selection of gorgeous wedding dresses in stock, including an Ashley Jordan stunner, seen at top, with a beaded bodice & train. Absolutely elegant & the perfect length for an outdoor wedding are two all-silk J. Crew strapless gowns, the one pictured above in size 4, and another with a romantic a-line skirt and subtle neckline pleating in size 12. A blush-champagne vintage 1950s taffeta knee-length dress with a silk belt & flower detail is a glamorous alternative style (modern size 6-8).

Members of the wedding party & guests alike will delight in our selection of summer dresses, from vintage party frocks to shimmery cocktail dresses to cool linen shifts, & our huge selection of men's silk ties.

Don't forget our fabulous selection of housewares, where you are sure to find a lovely gift! We just received a large donation of carnival glass in many different colors & patterns, & have many silver-plated & cut glass pieces to dazzle the happy couple.

Cheers!

summer whites






Stop by to see our gorgeous new window displays by local artist Liza King! Picture a long, languorous summer day in a Victorian garden, with a delicious light luncheon, cool, sheer linens drying on the line, & a sweet infant slumbering in a wicker bassinet in the shade. Magical.

make beautiful music together







This handsome & exquisitely carved piano was made by Ludwig & Co. in 1896. Rescued by its former owner from a barn, it was lovingly restored & tuned until brought back to its previous glory. The woodworking details are phenomenal; as lovely to look at as to play. Price does not include moving, but does include a tuning before you take it home.
