Antiques are Green

Today's culture places a premium on 'green' products. Words like reusable, recyclable, biodegradable, restoreable, etc are heard frequently during discussions of modern products manufactured, bought, & sold. We in the antiques and collectibles business feel that we have a prominent place in these discussions. Many of the items that we offer for sale are recycled, restored, and often biodegradable. Generally speaking we like real wood, cast iron, tin, and glass. We can take pride in the fact that we are at the forefront of the 'green' industry, although we do not promote this as much as we should. So instead of going to the 'mart' stores & fighting the crowds, long lines, and indifferent sales clerks, searching for pressed wood and plastic, come see us for real recycled merchandise (often in excellent condition) and experience some good old fashioned home town style vintage shopping ambiance and customer service. Often the buildings that our businesses inhabit have been restored and/or refurbished and are snapshots of our American heritage. Our own business, Aunt Peg's Antiques, is located in just such a historic downtown retail building. Probably about turn-of-the-century in age, it features old tin overhang in front, tall doors and windows, tin ceilings, and creaky wood floors. Our building was updated relatively recently, so it contains modern heating & cooling systems, updated wiring & plumbing, etc. However it still retains its Victorian charm & appeal. Come see us & take a step back in time. You'll be glad you did!! And remember go 'Green' and 'Invest in the Past'!!
