I've picked up many a piece of great quality jewelry at prices that make you stop, take a second look and wonder how they could be that cheap ($10 for a pair of earrings). If you're looking for a gift for someone else, a gift for yourself or a gift to adorn your home - Betty Mim has your back.

Welcome to Aladdin's Cave…read more This is the greatest antiques store in this or any land, a vast labyrinthine repository of treasures from a bygone age lovingly restored and jammed ten-to-a-penny in about fifteen different rooms for you to explore.

This is Parisienne velvet couches, pastiche reading chairs, life-size statues of the Virgin Mary, giant bronze leopards, valuable ceramic mugs, ornate dining tables, and a billion other things besides. You'll be in here for an hour at least perving on all the amazing and hard to find and simply indescribable homewares.
