About Now and Then

Our Service Pledge To You:
I provide prompt and honest service and personal attention to customer needs, so that your transaction with my Ruby Lane shop will always be a pleasant one.

About Us
My shop features vintage costume jewelry, buttons, clothing, books, postcards, sheet music, ephemera, photos, and whatever. I've been collecting and selling quality costume jewelry, from Victorian and Art Deco to the fabulous rhinestone pieces and classic timeless styles of the 1950s, for the past 18 years. Over time, I've expanded my interests to include vintage buttons and fashion buckles, postcards, photos, theatre programs and other ephemera, children's books, linens and period clothing. I'm a member of the Southeastern New England Antique Dealers Association, and exhibit at their spring and fall annual shows in Warwick, RI. If you are shopping for antiques in lovely rural northeastern Connecticut, please visit the Antiques Marketplace in Putnam. You'll love this large multi-dealer shop, and the town too!

Comments from Happy Customers:

First, the napkins are lovely! I am so pleased. Secondly, the packaging was wonderful... the care that went into it, and the special touch you gave and the note/card. Thank you for a fabulous transaction! Janet

The two pieces of vintage sheet music just arrived in perfect shape. They are exactly as you described them and in excellent condition for framing. And priced right, too. I thank you. Joel

Hi Sherill, thanks so much for your prompt shipping and great communication. I am using (the lace gown) for display and it is lovely. Thanks. Marla

The necklace arrived today and it is beautiful. I very much appreciate your superb packing and the very fast shipping.
I hope to buy from you again soon. I.M.

The trade cards arrived and were so well packed I could not believe it. Thank you so much and will keep looking to order from you again. D.M.

I received the Fanny Farmer Christmas blotter today. It is in beautiful condition and looks much more colorful in person. You had it packaged so nicely, too. I will definitely have to look at your Ruby Lane site every now and then (pun intended.) It has been wonderful doing business with you. Thanks again for everything. You're the best. Debbie
