Owned and operated by Linda Pate and Joyce Hobbs, Yesterday’s Memories Antique Shop is preparing for the store’s grand opening in about two weeks. Featuring just about any item that is considered collectible, decorative or just plain adorable, there is numerous treasures waiting to be discovered by you.

Although, the store itself is not that vast, the selection of collectibles seems endless. Be sure to set aside a good hour, or more, just to examine each of the hidden gems that can be found in every nook and cranny. On every shelf, decorating every tabletop and hanging on each wall, is a token of remembrance that is certain to remind you of a cherished moment from your past.

Rustic furniture, fine porcelain, detailed glassware and dinnerware, picture frames, Disney® collectibles, historical flags, wall crosses designed by Italy’s Cindy Sutherland, oil lamps, pottery and so much more adorn the entire shop.

“We also accept items on consignment. If we display your item and it sells, Yesterday’s Memories receives a percentage of the sale,” explained Linda. “We’ll display books, paintings and old photos, linens, dishes, glassware and/or just about anything that’s collectible, decorative or unique. And the older the better.”

Everyone is invited to take a look around the store and to take as much time as needed.

“Yesterday’s Memories is where you’ll find tomorrow’s treasures.”
