We are having a FREE SHIPPING event for all our Alberta customers. We used to do 3 large antique shows in the fall of each year in Alberta’s major markets.

We would load up our truck and trailer with lots of great items from our antique store and bring them to Calgary, and Red Deer and sell them at these shows.

Many of our customers would call or email us ahead and ask if we could bring this or that item of antique furniture that they have seen on our website to the show and they would pick it up from there to save on the shipping cost.

As you have noticed if you have ever been to our website before we have completely renovated it. As our business has grown and changed our website has become the best tool and largest contributor to sales. We believe going into the future the trend of increased online sales will continue for a number of reasons and so we have committed ourselves to having the very best and shopper friendly website possible. If you have ideas on how we could improve it please let us know.

In 1993 Tammy and I purchased a gift shop and heritage home in the old downtown section of Chilliwack. It was a turnkey operation completely inventoried and ready to go. Along with gifts, clothes and toiletries there was a decent inventory of antiques for sale including antique furniture. We soon developed a love for antiques in particular great quality antique furniture.

As our business grew and we needed to replace the antique items we were selling we soon realized that we would not be able to accomplish that from local sources and would have to look much farther afield. The next issue was getting the items and to make it affordable we would have to be bringing in container quantities.
