I love being a shop owner. I get to express what's going on in my head without saying a thing. The name "Collectibles" is a collection of life. I get asked all the time If I am an "Antique" business other than the fact of 4yrs. of being in business and telling the phone company I am not an Antique Shop. I'm still listed as. But no, I am a collection of life. I have a collection of cherry picked boutique wines, vintage inspired gifts that warms the heart and reminds you of simpler times forgotten but still admired. Everything, down to my wine selection has a story behind it. Wines mostly remind me of food, or the scents take back to my childhood growing up on the farm. To, another reason why I carry another collection which is my aromatherapy oils which not only is the gift of healing but the sense releases emotional baggage. I love to read, so I have a small assortment of good books for the soul. My business is actually set up in a house that was built in 1940. So every room has a theme to it. The kitchen, well there's food in there for sure. Gourmet treats that is. My cheese is in the fridge, and there's goodies you can eat right off the shelf or go home and tell everyone that yes, you made it right from scratch. I have a sweet little baby room in the bedroom. Bedroom's have a tendency to make babies so got you covered there. In the parlour you can relax and enjoy a nice glass of wine reading a good book, or spending time with a friend. You can always go outside and enjoy the fresh air out on the patio. I like to think of my business as a happy place, to well...just simply be. No need for explanations for why you stop in. Just happy that you do.
