I stopped in this charming shop during my visit to Aspinwall. I had the opportunity to talk with…read morethe owner Madeleine Byers about what this small business has to offer. It is basically an antique shop however, they sell jewelry, gardening rods.and they specialize in furniture refinishing. She is also into estate sales and along with her assistant are able to transform a lot of "hard to part" with items into something reusable for an interested buyer. She showed me some of the wood pieces they had refinished and they also sell chalk paint if you wish to do the job yourself. She told me it was a good type of paint and she used it to paint her floor. She also does custom orders so if you aren't handy with refurbishing that old piece of furniture they will do it for you. She showed me some perfume bottles that were once sold in the old Kaufmann's department store. She sells a lot of brass items as well. I loved browsing and looking at the artwork made on some of the pieces and even some of the lamps they were selling. I was taken aback by a lovely picture frame that was made out of unwanted estate jewelry. I thought the frame was beautiful but I didn't want it to be overbearing. We tested it with a picture she had in the store and it really added to it. The one they had was 5x7 which she measured. I told her I had an 8x10 of my late mother but I have disposed of practically all her jewelry some time ago. She told me she could make a frame for me if I brought the photo in and custom design it. I also loved seeing the old hanging monkeys around an adorable rocking horse. Depending upon what you buy it can get to be a bit pricey. She told me the price is contingent on all the work put into it. The most important thing is that everything is final sale. I must stress that so know before you go. She told me that they got a lot of business before mother's day with families buying refurbished vases. There were only a few left and they were absolutely breathtaking! This shop is at the end of a one way street near Luke and Finch. You can either pay park in the metered lot or you get one hour free parking on the next street over which is one way the other direction. It is worth a visit and a good contact in the event you need handle an estate.

The first floor is an enormous fort filled with oriental rugs, furniture, and a 12 foot taxidermy giraffe head. The second floor feels like getting lost in the fortified mansion of a foreign dictator. Artifacts is an admission-free museum where you won't learn a thing. Unfortunately, don't expect any curios. Mostly large pieces: furniture, rugs, enormous bird cages. Sometimes it may feel a bit like a Pier 1 for excessively wealthy people. Something a bit odd: On the second floor, seated at a four hundred year old dining table are life-size plush dwarfs from the Disney store with a price tag of about $1200.

The feel in the gallery is spacious and welcoming, and the art was so unlike other things I've seen. Some items are pretty pricey but it's great to browse. I would come here again for sure.

She is a wonderful and welcoming host that could gladly have you extend your planned 10 minute visit to over an hour. The conversation and friendliness are always a highlight.

However, a necklace of mine with sentimental value recently broke and I needed to get it fixed. Chapel Hills Jewelry seems like it's frequented by the highfalutin Fox Chapelites, as there are always expensive cars parked in their lot when I walk by. I felt a little intimidated schlepping to their shop in my yoga pants and hoodie, but darn it, I needed my necklace fixed, and this place is right by my house! However, I had nothing to feel intimidated about...they couldn't have been nicer! The folks I dealt with were helpful, kind, and didn't make me feel like I wasn't worth their time just because I wasn't there shopping for thousands of dollars worth of jewelry. They examined my necklace, said they could fix it within two weeks, and delivered as promised. My necklace was as good as new! And despite the fact that I spent a whopping $16 with them, they treated me as respectfully as I assume they treat those who are spending much more. I would definitely use them again for fixing my jewelry. And the next time I have a need to buy some fancypants bling, I'll be stopping by (probably in my yoga pants and hoodie again...but still).
