The Dancing Chihuahua, Seymour CT

December 9, 2015December 1, 2015 K Porter

This store was recommended to me by the proprietor of another consignment store (always a good sign). I had a chuckle about the name, and thought to myself ‘well, that’s something you don’t hear every day’ and off we went … Continue reading The Dancing Chihuahua, Seymour CT

Nest Egg Auctions, Berlin CT

December 6, 2015December 1, 2015 K Porter

Wild Bills Nostalgia, Middletown CT

October 8, 2015October 1, 2015 K Porter

Thriftique, Clinton CT

October 2, 2015October 1, 2015 K Porter

Quite a chaotic jumble of things here, mostly furniture, some smaller household items and books. They also sell painted and ‘revamped’ furniture in a shabby chic style, some of which I like and some I kinda wish they’d left alone. … Continue reading Thriftique, Clinton CT
