What's new at Il Etait Une Fois?

We just dropped of a late 1800s - early 1900s hand carved pedestal table / plant stand at the booth today. Beautiful cut-work legs with a dark finish. $120

We are also starting to bring in our Christmas decor (it's just around the corner!). 🎄🎅 We have some hand-made signs with ornaments coming soon.

Finally, we added some vintage Vera Bradley pieces with retired patterns - a weekender bag, travel /cosmetic bag, and backpack / tech bag.

Come see us at Route 11 Antique Mall in Hagerstown, open 9 - 5 daily.

Just loaded into Il Etait Une Fois at the Route 11 Antique Mall yesterday. This whimsical console table / dresser would be lovely in a child's bedroom or used as a statement piece in your home. Built in the 1940s, this piece has a hidden secret - the bottom drawer was rebuilt using a WWII shipping crate of a Veteran returning home from the war. $345
