Stools




Stools. We love them. You can't have too many. We love them as pedestals... flipped over to house books (or other) collections...as that first step up to the sink for your child or grandchild. Stacked...they become a unique signature piece in your room. We have a good selection and we'd love to help you find the right stool for that niche in your home.

Flower frogs, vintage letters, signs...



Our flower frog collection continues to "blossom". We have a wide array! Flower frogs reached their heyday in the U.S. in the mid 1920's and 30's. How the term "frog" came into general use remains a mystery. What we do know is--they have become a funky and inexpensive collectible. We've also added more vintage letters and some fabulous new signs and advertising pieces.
Stop in soon! Tu-Sat 10am-4pm.
