Our Policies

Now to the boring but necessary information need to make our transaction smooth and pleasant for all!
 
NOW THROUGH DECEMBER 15TH!
I'll be happy to ship your items to separate addresses, your friends and family, you just need to let me know!  I will be happy to gift wrap (in a gift bag loaded with tissue and ribbons) and enclose a little card from you...FREE OF CHARGE! 


Payment Options
I accept electronic payments through PayPal, which allows you to securely pay using your Visa, Discover, American Express or MasterCard.
 
NEW Shipping POLICIES!
To save everyone money, I'm now sending individual invoices for shipping through PayPal, as I don't want anyone to pay more than necessary and love to combine shipping when possible!   Larger & fragile items will be send Priority Flat Rate and Linens, up to the limit, will be sent First Class!  Items are carefully wrapped and protected during shipping, with small soft goods wrapped, supported by cardboard and shipped in soft envelopes, everything else is carefully wrapped and shipped in sturdy cardboard boxes.  And please... remember to recycle your boxes and fillers!
 
INTERNATIONAL BUYERS...please contact me first to get postage rate for item.  
 
Returns/Exchanges
Since we are a small business, we strongly stand behind our items for sale.  We try to accurately describe and photograph each item so that you can make an informed decision when purchasing.  Each piece is measured and described in detail, but if you are not happy with your purchase, we will happily accept any item returned with 5 days of receipt in the same condition it was sent, no questions asked.  We will refund the cost of the item, but not the original or return postage, through PayPal.
 
If you wish to exchange for another item, once item is returned (USPS Priority Mail Insured at buyer's expense), new item will be processed and postage added for the new item.
 
Age/Condition
Age:  If known, I will always list any age information or history of any piece that I know.  When I give age (c. 1890, for example) this means that is was made within 10 years plus or minus.  I will put as much information as I can find in the description. 
 
Condition:  I will always give condition in the description and all the information to the best of my knowledge.  I will describe any damage to any piece, but keep in mind that many antiques have had use and therefore not in brand new condition.  As for linens, I will describe any damage, spots or repairs.  I try to be very thorough so that you, the buyer, can make a decision based on all the information.
 
Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions!
