The offerings are diverse, spanning beer mugs, antique paintings, precious frames, ceramics, vintage photos, grandma’s dolls, chandeliers, gramophones, and records at 45, 33, and 78 RPM. Additionally, antique volumes, tin toys, phone cards, collectible trinkets, toy soldiers, miniature cars, Smurfs, and plush toys, each with a rich history, emerge from the attics and cellars of private citizens, ready for a second lease of life in the hands of collectors or lovers of all things beautiful.
The artisanal section is equally rich, featuring exquisite glass, ceramics, wrought iron, woodwork, leather goods, painted flowers, ancient lacework, ethnic jewelry, Tiffany glassware, artistic soaps, fabric paintings, and embroidered dolls, including maritime-themed items such as ceramic plates adorned with picturesque views of the Gulf, and of course, festive decor.
