Quick navigation: About Lamb's Loft - eBay Listings - Feedback - eBay Store

Lamb's Loft was established by Dawn Lamb in 1987 in a small building on a main highway north of Wilmington, Delaware. Two years later, Lamb's Loft moved to Claymont, a growing community just south of the Pennsylvania border. Located in a grand historic building located just off the main highway, Lamb's Loft sits atop a hill overlooking the Delaware River. It is the anchor building at the main entrance to the Overlook Colony Development in Claymont, the oldest planned development in the state of Delaware.

Built by General Chemical Company in 1917, its initial use for an elementary school and community hall. Through the years it has been used for many things such as wedding receptions; a meeting place known as Red Man Hall, celebrating the life of the Lenni-Lenape Indians; hardware store; and barber shop, just to name a few.

Currently the building is home to Lamb Loft, other businesses and five apartments. It is owned by the Lamb family, Tom & Edith Lamb (Dawn Parents) and Dawn. Through much prayer, dedication, sweat and tears, the building has been completely renovated over the last 15 years bringing the building back to its original splendor.

Lamb Loft is a shop filled with over 4000 square feet of practical and unique treasures on three different levels and all under one roof. Most of the treasures are gently used, ranging in size from as small as a thimble to the size of a large dinette set. The shop is divided into 20 categorized spaces, each with their own theme and corresponding unique merchandise. For example, a vintage kitchen space is filled with kitchen furniture, gadgets, appliances, dishes, cookbooks, etc. all from the 1930 through the 1950.

New merchandise is put out on the selling floor every Thursday and Friday with a truckload of treasures arriving once or twice a week. The vast array of merchandise comes from the contents of private estates from all over the tri-state area. Seasonal merchandise is also offered throughout the year. Surprise grab bags and boxes stuffed with merchandise is one of our fastest selling items. For those customers with a sweet tooth, double dipped chocolate covered pretzels are available. Gift certificates in various denominations for any occasion are also offered. "Chops", (short for Lamb Chops) our resident cat, will greet you with a friendly meow and maybe even accompany you as you shop.

Lamb Loft prides itself on exceptional customer service, affordable prices, variety of merchandise and a relaxed, fun and unforgettable shopping experience. In addition to the everyday shopping trek, Lamb Loft offers special sales throughout the year including Secret Discount Days, Lamb Loft Keychain Sale Days, and Extra-"BAA"-ganzas featuring the always popular, Spin Win giant wheel for prizes. For those customers who don have a way of getting their merchandise home, we offer a delivery service for a nominal fee. Most customers shop at Lamb Loft once a week, some skipping their lunch hour to enjoy the relaxing music and take a nostalgic stroll down the aisles.

As of November 2004, Lamb Loft has stepped into the digital age with our website, eBay Store and eBay auctions. Thanks to Feeney Solutions, Inc, our webmaster, we can now offer you the same unique merchandise on-line as we do in our store in Claymont.

We hope that you will visit us often (in person in Claymont or on our website) and enjoy what others have called, "The best kept secret in Delaware"!
