About Little House Antiques
Little House Antiques was originally located in a teeny, tiny, little house that had been abandoned by its owners and left to fend for itself. Over the years, a small "jungle" of vines grew up around the house, obsuring it from almost everyone's view. I passed by the house nearly every day and I often wondered about it...so when a fellow antiques dealer offered me the chance to join them in purchasing the house, I jumped at the opportunity.
We (and our respective spouses) lovingly restored her from top to bottom and opened Little House Antiques. We did almost everything ourselves and to say that it was hard work is a vast understatement! It took nearly two years until we had the house in shape to open the shop.
We loved the house and enjoyed our time there, but eventually came to realized that working "retail" hours was a real pain! So, we closed the shop and the Little House has now been returned to its original purpose; that of sheltering a family.
However, closing the shop hasn't meant that I've stopped attending auctions, flea markets and the like and I still have a tendancy to drag home everything that isn't nailed down! Consequently, I decided to "re-invent" Little House Antiques as a virtual antiques shop. The hours are much better and I actually get to see my family once in a while!
