PLEASE NOTE: The high cost of shipping saddens me, and it affects us all( I have Lowered prices on many items, as we are ALL searching for our treasures at a reduced cost vs inflated Shipping Rates. I have no control over shipping.
I reserve the right to determine if locations like Alaska & Hawaii, have higher than estimated shipping charges, buyer will have the option to pay extra in shipping fees or cancel the order.

I love a room Rich in Textures, Colors, and Scents; a balance of both Masculine and Feminine; with reflections of Light that reveals character; Shadows that hint of mystery and wonder…..a vintage emporium of many different tastes and treasures.
Warm wood tones; ambient lighting; oil paintings; bronze art work; the smell and feel of leather; a ticking Old Clock; a fireplace to sit by while reading an old classic; Mirrors that reflect the warm ambiance of ageless beauty and comfort.; Color that draws the eye in. Things not so 'rustic', but having an Old World timeless quality. Bronze, Antique Brass, Oil Lamps, Music Boxes, Pottery, Vintage Lamps, Oil Paintings, Antique Mirrors, the incredible depth and beauty of Natural Stone. My shop reflects some of these treasures that represent an ageless appreciation for artistic quality and craftsmanship, their beauty improving with age. I try to accurately convey the item in the photos and description so that you are fully aware of the condition of the item, prior to purchase.

Also, I have found a few gnarly items, that have their own pure rustic appeal.

Lamps and Electrical:
I do not warranty or guarantee electrical integrity and will be held harmless from any claim regarding electrical integrity of all items I sell. Buyer will be responsible for upgrading wiring/electrical, if they deem it necessary.

Please Note: I am not an antique expert. Any lack of information, or possible mis-information, is unintentional. The "items in my shop ARE NOT NEW' and may have imperfections, that I try to convey in the description and/or photos, so that you are fully aware of the condition of the item, prior to purchase. Age-related wear like tarnish, scratches, or repairs, will be noted to the best of my ability, with the understanding that items are not new, it will be mentioned if they are in "Like New" condition.

**Alaska and Hawaii**, please convo me for shipping rates, as they are normally higher than posted rates, and shipping costs will be adjusted as necessary.
Transparency in shipping costs and item value with Carrier rate increase - You can view the shipping price and item price for each listing. Fair and visible shipping prices for you is a top priority for me. With the Items that I offer in my shop, they are unique in varying sizes, weights, and fragility. If I acquire an item at a lower cost, I will try to pass those savings on to you. "Free shipping" is "Not Sustainable" for me to keep my listings available to you. I strive to find the safest and most affordable option in true honest shipping costs. 2 ways to look at the overall cost In upfront total charges, whether it is combining a lower item's cost plus shipping, or inflate the item cost with Free Shipping,
Shipping is an estimate with each listing...overages above 2.00 will be refunded.

PLEASE NOTE-With regards to shipping rates, they can be high, and not within my control, occasionally I have underestimated, and I am responsible for the loss. I try to find the safest and most affordable shipping, and sometimes it produces lower rates than estimated.
