Auntie Q: An Update, a BIG Update!

Auntie Q on Facebook and Pinterest!
 Hi there! It is November 2015 and I need to update all my peeps about the comings and goings and doings and didings of AUNTIE Q in BARNTIQUE VILLAGE... 

 Since June, 2013 Auntie Q has expanded and now has 3 buildings! 

 Her first original shop is still a cornucopia of your childhood toys, vintage cameras, vanity items, antique medical collectibles, religious treasures, glassware, barware, brassware, stoneware, kitchenware, silver-plated goodies, lanterns and more! 

The wonderful little shed is truly a "Girly Girl" room. It is a adorable shed with a front porch, a miniature Dutch door and a great loft inside! Sparkling lights adorn the building and show you the Kewpies, white milk glass collection, beautiful Victorian pictures frames, vanity items and mirrored vanity trays, framed artwork, vintage Wade figurines, umbrellas and umbrella stands, giant vintage fans, standing ashtrays and "hidden" animals treasures that peek at you from little shelves all around the building! (Just watch your head going out!) 

Auntie Q's additional building is an amazing space she calls "The Little Boys' Room." (No peeing, we have a real bathroom for that!) 

This room holds vintage hardware: draw pulls, finials, handles, backplates and decorative hardware doo-dads. This room also has a nautical section, a horsey section, a military section and an awesome selection of vintage and antique telephones and typewriters! To further excite the collector this former furnace room holds a "lotta lotta" vintage and antique wood handled tools: hammers, wrenches, drills, screwdrivers, wood working tools including planes of various shapes and sizes, levels, files, clamps, mallets and more. Also filling every nook and cranny (and a lot of the ceiling) are oil cans and automobile advertising treasures, bicycle parts, car parts and car decorative parts, a selected grouping of Motorcycle goodies, cap guns, Beer/barware, lighters, gardening tools, fencing stuff, bows and arrows, metal signs, Matchbox, Hot Wheels, Tonka trucks and cars, Dinky Toys, Tootsie Toys, water skis, belt buckles, cuff links, pocket knives and decorative moulding. Keys and Vintage license plates help to complement this treasure trove !
 There are lots more goodies ; you have to come down to discover them yourself! 
Please be sure to check out AUNTIE Q's Pinterest page and find the "RE-PURPOSING BOARD. While Auntie Q's talents in building things are limited, her ability to find the clever creations of others and "pining" them by way of everyone's favorite time-eating site PINTEREST is virtually unmatched!

Auntie Q is a lazy girl at times!

It has been many moons since I posted here. Considering that at least 500 of my postcard/business cards have this address (I ordered the wrong one-duh!), I should write here more often.
The BEST way to see AUNTIE Q's stuff is to check the FB page at:


Thanks for checking it out!

Auntie Q is now a Grandmother!
Master Tait Michael was born on Sunday, November 3, 2013 (11/3/13)!  Weighing in at 7lbs.6oz he has an international audience as his mother, Trish, hails from
Canada and his dad, Robert (Auntie Q's son) is American.
BTW: Mom and Dad met in Korea and are currently living in Kuwait!
In addition to  Auntie Q and her hubby "Pappy," and his 
Aunt Samantha, Tait's birth has brought great joy to his Canadian relatives, Grandparents Marg and Rod and his Uncle Bud!
We are all so thrilled that this little man has joined our world!
Need-less-to-say, we must all work to the best of our abilities to make this a safe, happy and healthy world!

I'm Back...

I'm back!

Auntie Q in Barntique Village of Moriches, NY is so busy with the shop and life in general, she has not updated her blog in what seems like forever! Well, now I am back!
Here's the link to her Facebook page which is the main internet venue for information on Auntie Q's shop!


On June 23, 2013 our Long Island newspaper, Newsday, ran a wonderful story about 
BARNTIQUE VILLAGE! Auntie Q's shop was pictured on the front cover of the Part II section with a great shot of vintage cameras and an adorable Kewpie! The story was the first two pages with lots of great photos and quotes from some of the 18 dealers in our adorable walk-aroundable vintage village.  Business has been outstanding and we are very grateful to Newsday for the exposure!
