About Alley Cat Lane Antiques and Collectibles
Our Service Pledge To You:
Customer satisfaction is my priority. I always try my best to keep my customers happy by maintaining good communications, keeping them informed on shipping dates, and providing careful packaging for shipment. Any problems that arise are quickly and fairly resolved, although I am proud to say they rarely occur.
Items purchased with a money order, personal check less than $50, or Paypal will be mailed the next business day (barring unforeseen circumstances). Items purchased with a check will be mailed 10 days after deposit of the check to give it time to clear the bank if the check amount is over $50. Fragile items are carefully wrapped in bubble wrap and packed in packing peanuts.
About Us

We specialize in smalls - particularly china, porcelain, pottery, small trinket boxes, duck decoys, vintage kitchenware, collector plates, figurines, and other small collectibles. You can find LLadro, Fenton, Westmoreland, Blue Ridge, Harmony Kingdom, Halcyon Enamels, and various other manufacturers, as well as items produced by individual artists, such as hand carved duck decoys.
This business is my passion! I started out as a seller on Ebay in December of 1998 where my excellent customer service and integrity have produced 100% positive feedback ratings (alleycatjunklady) thus far. Over a six year period, I enjoyed maintaining booths at brick and mortar antique shops in Thomasville and Bainbridge, Georgia, as well as Havana, Florida. After establishing my Internet business on Ruby Lane in July,2003, I gradually closed all four antique and collectibles booths in order to concentrate on Internet sales. Since March, 2006, I have been exclusively on the Internet. I certainly don't miss having to constantly rearrange and dust the items in the brick and mortar booths!
I love the hunt! I frequent auctions and estate sales, and am constantly looking for new items wherever I go. It gives me an extra thrill when I am able to find customers that special item they have been searching for to complete their set, add to a collection, or bring back fond memories of someone special in their life.
Hope you like what you see in my shop. Please don't hesitate to email or call me if you have any questions or concerns. Your feedback and suggestions are also greatly appreciated. If you want to leave feedback for me with Ruby Lane, you can send them an email with your comments by clicking on "help" on any page of the site. I also have begun listing comments from customers on my shop home page (see below) with their permission. I would love to add your comments to the list when our transaction has been completed.

Rec'd my shipment this afternoon. It is in mint condition! I am so happy to get these and I am sure my neices will enjoy them long after I am gone. Especially since they were served lemonade in these back in the 60's.
