Why Just Looking Antiques?

As a shop owner and show dealer since 1996,

I can't count the times I've asked pleasantly if I could help someone, only to hear the equally pleasant response "just looking."

Well, it never hurts to look. Because you just might find something you can't pass up. At Just Looking, we certainly hope so! Please click onto our blog and let us know what products, tips and simple pleasures free up your life to make it easier for you to go 'just looking.'
