Update: The February Ruby Lane 15-Year Anniversary Sweepstakes Canceled

In early February we announced our 15-Year Anniversary Sweepstakes with the giveaway of this beautiful brooch offered on Ruby Lane to a random Ruby Lane registered user. Unfortunately, because the winner has not come forward after repeated contact attempts, we are canceling this sweepstakes.

Anyone who was a registered Ruby Lane user (buyer or seller) who is a U.S. resident was eligible to be randomly selected to win this vintage jewelry item.


Evolution of an Antique Dealer - No Two are Alike

If you are a year-round resident of South Florida then you are probably familiar with two terms - 'Snowbird' and 'Snowflake'. The first refers to those people who migrate to South Florida to spend several winter months to escape the cold weather. The second term, is relatively new and not as universally known. It refers to those people who intermittently travel to South Florida. They may spend only a day or two or a week now and then, but usually do not stay for months at a time.

Collections Bring Back Memories

It is after Christmas and I am putting my kitchen back together. I have lots of stuff! Some would call it clutter, I call it My Collection. With the new ideas of minimization, young people see little value in the old. My older friends are talking of getting rid of their extras for it is too much bother and work they claim. I am not there yet.


Business Resolutions for 2013

As the 2013 New Year emerges, antiques and collectibles sellers everywhere are facing the continuing bleak reality that our market area is one of the most devastated by our country’s persistently weak economy. It’s not that customers don’t want to spend, it’s that they just don’t have the resources they used to be able to spare on non-essentials -- and “antiques and collectibles” embodies the definition of non-essentials!
