This is another multi dealer shop in Coventry. It is the first shop I ever visited in Coventry and is still a favorite of mine even though it is a little the worse for wear. The shop has two rooms down stairs that stock the usual stuff, some post cards, a nice collection of salt and pepper shakers, (I was tempted by an unusual chicken deviled egg dish but I resisted) some pretty glassware but nothing too unusual. There was a nice collection of old pictures in the back room which are worth a look through and quite a bit of kitchen ware.
There are two sets of stairs to go upstairs one in the front room and one in the rear. We went up the rear stairs and while Cindy was looking through some paper books that were genealogically significant I checked out another small room and made my great find. It is a small folding sewing table, I suspect it was a quilting table. The top looks like a roadmap of tiny needlemarks and it has a ruler marked on it. I loved it at first sight and after carrying it down I set out to get the best deal possible. I got it for $22.50. I was delighted and it set the tone for the rest of my day.
Back upstairs it looks like a small village, all the little rooms have store fronts, it really very cute and always has been but now some of the rooms are empty and there appears to be leaking from the roof. I hope that they fix this place up and get it back to the way it was a few years ago. It offers a nice alternative to the fancier places up the road.
