A Quick Note...

At best, our blogging of new arrivals has been unimpressive! Truth be told we have no excuse, its so simple and easily one of the best ways to archive our most treasured items...in our defense we have been busy little bees...besides our shopping adventures from Brooklyn to Mexico, we have had the best two months ever!! So many thanks to all who have visited our store/blog/website, we love what we do and are grateful that you appreciate our heartfelt efforts. We promise to update on a regular basis and keep bringing in the best, most fabulous finds!! xoxoxox Celia & Tina

New Arrival - Huge Antique Books!!!

This hands down one of the best things we've had at E T C E T E R A S! These giant books are about 30 x 20!! They are bound archive volumes of the New York Times. Each volume covers half a month of newspaper and we have dates ranging from 1920s to 1950s. Their massive scale alone is impressive! We've been having so much fun imagining fabulous ways to use them...stacking about 20 of them under a piece of glass would make a stunning coffee table!!! We have about 100 books priced $95 each.

Vintage Glove Molds

Vintage porcelain glove molds have arrived. The vintage glove molds are a perfect addition to a collection of curios or a great way to display jewelry or photos/postcards. $72 ea.

This set of 8 vintage McGuire chairs feature gorgeous rawhide bindings as well as woven rawhide seat and backreast - no seat cushion required! The set includes two arm chairs and six side chairs in a creamy off-white. This classic chair is a must-have! Priced at $295 ea. SOLD

Vintage Industrial Wheels?

Not exactly sure what these old wood wheels where used for, but they sure are beautiful! They are thick, and well-crafted in ways that things just aren't made anymore. They would look great hung on a wall as a set of three or leaned against a wall just like the picture. Set of 3 $795
