"Cynthia Findlay and her staff were wonderful.  My husband and I had a few items we were interested in selling. We had antique jewellery that wasn't being worn and we thought it would be great to get something for the items and allow someone who would appreciate them to have the opportunity.  Cynthia made us feel very comfortable.  She is friendly, and knowledgeable and very professional.  There were a few items she wasn't interested in and she offered information to help us.  While in the store we were amazed at the variety of antiques.  There is something for everyone." - J & B Johnston
