This is the only antique and resale shop on historic third Avenue in Sturgeon Bay, and one that will dazzle your senses with treasures from the past and a variety of new, but vintage looking, pieces that will be sure to delight.

Country prints framed and ready for hanging, nostalgic metal signs, old Coke bottles - this is a true antique and resale shop that will intrigue many from the casual decorator to the true treasure hunter and serious collector!

And - it's the exclusive home of the sterling silver hand-crafted Door County Beads!

This is not your typical antique store by any means. Many decades are represented here from the 1950s through the 1980s, and there is a constant turn of stock as Diane, the owner, continues to search from treasures from all over the Midwest and the South. When we were touring the shop for this review, we found a Cushman scooter from the 1950s, a vintage gas pump, linens, jewelry, dishes, furniture and signage; metal automobile hood ornaments, vintage stained glass, estate jewelry and even new, artistic stained glass items.

You will find something that you like, because there is a tremendous array of items, nicely displayed, throughout the shop. Antique tools, some vintage clothing, army jackets, vinyl LP records from the 50s to the 80s. We spied a great one: Chubby Checker with the original "Twist" song was sitting in one case! And The Beatles go fast!

Another gem was an antique fishing rod made of bamboo (a salmon fly rod and case), marked "Vonlen Gerket & Antoine Chicago." Lots of old fishing lures too.

DoorCountyNavigator.com has been in and out of many antique shops and antique malls, and Door County Traders has very reasonable price tags of these items - they are priced right and ready to go! Diane loves the hunt so much she wants to make room for her next finds!

We know you will find something in the shop and exclaim, like Diane says here customers do: " I have to have it!"
