Floral arrangements in antique creamware pieces, such as the one shown above, fill every corner with charm. In the ten years since Sara opened Sheppard Street Antiques, she has filled it with pieces reminiscent of her past and reflective of her affection for gardening and all things fresh, botanical, and beautiful.
There’s always something “new” at the shop to captivate and inspire. As customers enter, they are greeted with the tantalizing aroma of freshly brewed tea mingled with the soft scent of a soy candle handmade by a local artisan; children find vintage toys to play with. Sparkling silver serving pieces, pictured above right, are beautifully displayed.
