After several consecutive years of listening to me say that the Main Street shop will open soon in...a couple of weeks...a month...next summer...by Christmas..., well, we have finally done it!

Renamed 596 Main Vintage, this is my mother's personal collection of vintage and antique clothing, jewellery and curios. It features a beautiful interior layout shaped specifically for the display of 100% vintage and antique pieces.

If you've been curious about what is behind those gauzy curtains, please stop by. More info about the hours and content are available on Instagram and Facebook, which I will update from time to time:



The backyard boutique will be open when staff is available. Currently everything back there is cash only, priced to sell, and, as always, open to negotiations.

Best wishes  to everyone for a memorable and successful summer thrifting and collecting ❤️

I found this treasure from the late 40s -1950s in my barn. It has some fun snippets of controversies of the time and includes newspaper clippings of a recurring section titled, "Learn to Know Your Province" (from The Chronicle Herald perhaps?). The scrapbooker cut out the NS Tourism photo and the accompanying article introducing readers to the history and highlights of the place.
How many of these spots do you recognize?

We are all thermo-SET with the addition of these brooches and necklaces.

11/05/2025

Thermoset plastics were moulded into little shapes for jewellery in the1940s and 1950s and set in silver and gold metal plate settings. Sometimes designers added pearlization and glitter to add a soft romantic or sparkly festive flair.

If you are a vintage jewellery collector or looking for iconic 1950s accessories, please stop in and see our display of bracelets and earrings-- necklaces and brooches coming soon!
