Summer 2008! Life always seems so full of HOPE this time of year for me. Our year of transition is coming along nicely now. Our office remodel and warehouse reorganizing should be completed by fall. We are a bit behind, but still intent on getting these projects completed BEFORE the end of the year. This is keeping our lives VERY interesting lately for sure. I am starting to list fresh items this month and hoe to continue through the Holidays. Thank you for your continuing support and for stopping back by. We have been really busy these first 8 months of the year and we are gearing up for a fantastic decade here on Ruby Lane!

===============================================

Welcome to the World of a “Purple Packrat’s Nest”!. A Purple Packrat’s Nest is all about the true collector, finding the most unusual item at astounding prices.

I have been a collector of antiques and collectibles for over thirty years. As a true collector and an e-commerce retailer, I shop daily; estate sales, auction houses, and antique stores. I often buy full estates and have a reputation in the industry, of getting there early for the best items. By having that buying power, I can then offer my client base a greater variety of merchandise at very affordable prices.

As a collector for years I have a warehouse full of antiques and collectibles. If you are searching for an item please do not hesitate to e-mail me or call me and if I have it in my collection, I will be more than happy to have it listed for you.

Renee, just wanted you to know that the tea pot arrived in perfect condition this morning and I just love it. It will find a very comfortable home with me & my other assorted teapots. I can't wait to get it home. Thanks again for your patience and your care with this order.

Hope you are feeling better from the flu or whatever!

Hi Renee,

"I just wished to take a moment to stop and thank you for your
write up on Deltiology; it was so interesting. I have been
collecting now for about four years and find it just so
inspiring. It not only is a reflection of the past, but is
usually done in such Old Fashioned beauty---something not seen in
today's cards. Your extra information was very much appreciated
and I want to thank you personally for offering it. May God
Bless You.
C.J.~"

I am a retailer who is interested in “moving the merchandise”, so please be sure that you visit our Sale merchandise by typing in SALE in the search box. I also am more than interested in hearing a reasonable offer on any of my items your heart may desire.

We have added all major credit cards, Visa, MC, Discover, American Express, etc. for your shopping convenience.

We try to ship Daily. Say you buy something on a Sunday and pay for it at checkout, then you should have it in your hands by mid-week.

Having a large family and finding myself in the kitchen morning noon & night, I have fallen in love with vintage cookware. As soon as I can get them photographed, you will find that I have large collections of cast iron pots & pans, copper pots, Blue Ridge-Southern Potteries, and I will continue to go through my nest and list my prize collections as well.

Coming soon I will be listing more primitive kitchenware; utensils, vintage Pyrex. Also coming soon will be some gorgeous sterling and silver plated items, (bear with me as I have my children polish these items)! LOL!

Again thank you for stopping by & shopping a Purple Packrat’s Nest, we appreciate your visiting with us. If you should have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to e-mail me or call me and keep me in mind with letting me know what item you are searching for.

We are updating our site on a bi-monthly basis to meet your ever-changing requirements, so we invite you to visit us often.
