I've been following this shop as an eBay store for about one year. I knew they were literally in my back yard, but I had not made the time to visit and I am disappointed in myself for not having stopped by sooner. Simply put, the Trolley House Emporium store is awesome! This store takes up half a block on Broad St. in Quakertown, which appears to be enjoying a little bit of a renaissance. There are a lot of antique shops and boutiques and cute little places running through the heart of this little borough. Why isn't anyone talking about it? Check it out, people!
The Trolley House Emporium has an eBay store where the user name is “Glittering Generalities”; a perfect name for a shop that has a little but of everything: junque, mid-century modern, early twentieth century and older. There are three main rooms chock-a-block full of stuff; everything from Fiestaware to horse tack. The back room is mostly full of furniture, ranging in age from the 40's through the 80's. There is an upstairs room full of chairs and beds and other randoms stuff. The eBay story truly doesn't do justice to the amount of things that this store has. The owner, Jen, is friendly and willing to bargain. When I visited, she and her partner were unloading new arrivals into the store. This is what thrifting and recycling should be like. I saw at least two items that are haunting me.
I will definitely be back!
