Dorothy's Collectibles


Have you ever shopped in a great place and found yourself returning time and again just for the experience?
Dorothy's Collectibles is that kind of place!
It is hard to get Dorothy to talk about herself ~ much less have her picture taken ~ she came to Canada as a war bride from Britain. She has family and one gets the impression that she open-heartily takes in new members. She'll ask you how you are, and really mean it.
We go to Dorothy's for books but she also has the prettiest china and treasures: straw totes, an English bellow, beautiful pictures and lamps ~ just about anything to make a house a home!
We have kept this secret to ourselves 'til now but you can find Dorothy 9:00 to 5:00, every Sunday at Mizener's Antiques, 367 Hwy. 5 West, Waterdown, Ontario.
