Out of the Past Antiques
... a place of memories in Cape May

about us

Since 1996,  I have been building a service oriented antique business based on memories from the past.  I continually search for objects that remind me of my grandmothers, great aunts, childhood . Gathering of pleasent memories from the past in Cape May NJ and Lancaster PA , has brought me great joy and hopefully happiness to my customers.

Growing up in suburban Philadelphia, surrounded by grandparents I learned an early appreciation of interesting possession.  Majoring in history at Ursinus College and library science at Drexel University has proven to be a fine foundation for my life long passion for "stuff. 

In 1996 I rented my first space in a co-op in Cape May and one in Lancaster.   In 1999 the business moved to its present location at the corner of W. Perry and Myrtle Street.

In 2004 I sold my first item on Ebay and continue to expand my online services on a regular basis.

In 2009 I expanded to a spot in Strasburg Antique Market in Lancaster PA and The West End Garage in West Cape May

This long  rainy spring I have been working on improving this website, setting up a facebook page and Esty.com as a new place to sell items. 


Being a grandmother is a delight.  We now have  six grand children.  Greta (7) and Katie (6) are fine helpers in the shop!  They love to greet the customers, arrange the dollhouses, and ring the cash register.  Hopefully their interest in antiquing will grow with them.

 

I would enjoy hearing about your collecton  or passion for "stuff".  Drop me an email.
