Our shop is the combined effort of mother and daughter, Kathy Carroll and Georgia Couch, and Donald Reisch.

We have a beautiful selection of antiques and collectibles,ranging from fine Irish linen to Nippon ,and everything in between! In our jewelry area, we have a collection of restored antique and collectible jewelry,as well as an exclusive line of handcrafted and designed jewelry,including contemporary and vintage designs by K.C. of Beaded Elegance.

Kathy
For my handcrafted jewelry I use a selection of semi precious gemstones,Czech glass,Swarovski crystals, bone and wood, various vintage beads and crystals,Sterling silver,vermeil,and pewter beads and chains. I have a variety of styles,from casual to formal,in a wide range of prices for all tastes and budgets!
I have been doing crafts since I was a little girl,beading with my grandmother. I have been designing and making formal jewelry pieces for the past three years. I have been selling my pieces at my "day job" and people seem to keep coming back for more!
I love the creative process. I don't really follow the trends as much as I just let the pieces evolve. I work with the beads and findings until they come together into the finished piece. I often purchase components that I like with no specific idea in mind! I spend a great deal of time sifting through bead catalogs, looking for "just the right beads" for my next project. Lately,I have also started restoring vintage pieces. I enjoy working with beautiful old pieces and making them like new!

Georgia and Donald
My one tiny grandmother and two great aunts grew up in a small town in up-state Pennsylvania. Their house was built in the 1860's and the furniture,china,silver and day to day utensils are today's antiques. I loved visiting them and learning about the backgrounds of each piece.
Don and I became partners about twelve years ago. We opened an antiques and collectibles store and then moved to our present location at the Wagon Wheel near Pittsburgh, PA.
We look for unique items at auctions and estate sales, and from other dealers and people selling their family antiques. We have china, jewelry,small furniture, and other unique and amusing items.

We are dedicated to our customers and provide quality service for them. We take special orders for a small fee and are willing to answer any and all questions they may have! We are here to serve to the best of our ability! We really do love what we do!
