Hi! We are Wendy and Bob Coderre. We live in beautiful Belleville, Ontario, Canada (about 2 hours drive east of Toronto) on Lake Ontario. Our family owned business is buying and selling small antiques and collectibles. Like many of today's dealers, we started out as collectors, spending most every weekend at auctions, flea markets and estate sales seeking out unique and interesting items. This became a passion, and by 1996, we had "collected" so many nice things that we ran out of room ... so, to be able to continue the "hunt" and the purchases, we went into the business. We now have many regular customers, and we still enjoy our passion thoroughly.
Our first show was in the fall of 1996 and we have been going steady ever since. As well as doing shows, in January 2000, we became sellers on Ebay. We then opened our Ebay store in 2005. Now we are pleased to announce that we are opening an Auctiva store (work in progress but hopefully it will be up and running soon!!) So visit us at

Although Bob is quite knowledgeable, Wendy is the "expert", spending many hours pouring over our extensive library of reference books and online reference sources. Wendy holds a degree in History from Queens University, so her research skills are well honed. She is also an Accredited Interior Decorator, and, as such, has a keen eye for beautiful and interesting decor items, and how to use them to enhance a room setting.
Back to Bob, his big strength is in packing and shipping our out-of-town sales ... check our eBay feedback for the many superlative comments.
The past 13 years have been a lot of fun and we hope to continue to have fun for the next thirteen!!
