Time’s Tin Cup is Celebrating our 5th year in our William Street location this year. Over the past 6 years in Boonton we have continually evolved finding new and unique ways of sharing our amazing collection of antiques and vintage collectibles.
The COVID epidemic has offered many unforeseen challenges for retail establishments as most of us were considered non-essential for 3 months. Through this difficult time I was grateful to have recently expanded my Etsy Shop www.timestincupstudio.com which allowed me to continue to offer the shops treasures with a global audience. My shop is overflowing with rare and unusual treasures, jewelry, art and so much more that are desirable to collectors all over the world.
Locally, once curbside pick-up became allowable, people truly rallied behind the “shop local” focus and came out and supported so many of our Main Street gems. It is thrilling to see that so many of us weathered, and continue to weather this storm.
The antique community remained active during the stay at home order with Facebook Live Sales and Auctions that not only allowed folks to shop but offered entertainment. Many of these Live presentation are saved to @timestincup on Facebook for you enjoyment.
I even offered a Country Chic Chalk Paint demo. It was so much fun connecting with both my existing customers and many new ones as well and highlight new lines of products and services that I now offer.
I have been truly productive during what I now call my “COVID Pause.” I was able to expand my Etsy offerings as well as updating the inventory in my booths (131 & 132) at Scranberry Coop where I have items 20% off. I was also able to complete my Antique Appraisal Course work.
I am so excited to share that I am now Certified by the Asheford Institute of Antiques as a personal property appraiser.
I offer an enriched palette of services to assist you as you plan your downsize for either a move, estate or garage sale. Many people are understandably overwhelmed at the start of this process. It is stressful and I am able to ease a bit of this. I now offer:
- Pre-estate sale pricing and planning
- Certified Appraisal
- Consignment
- Small Clean-out
Please consider calling me before you order a dumpster. I can be reached at (973) 224-4661
I offer consultations either through house visits, Zoom meeting or Facebook rooms.
My shop is now open Wednesday through Sunday 11-4 or by chance or appointment. Masks are required and I offer hand sanitizer. I also now offer personal virtual shopping for a small fee that will be credited back with a purchase.
I truly look forward to sharing with you.
