bucks antiques
When walking into the Bucks County Antiques Gallery Inc., be prepared to be greeted heartily by owner Marlene Tegge or one of her staff. You will hear, “Welcome to our home,” or “You are going to get good service whether you like it or not,” Marlene says, “We are the “Cheers” of antiques stores.” They are informal and remember people’s names and there is always a cup of coffee for a customer and plenty of cookies. Marlene likes to have whimsy in the store. There are silly signs and pictures of James Dean and Marilyn Monroe in the restrooms along with chalkboards where customers can write things about the ’50s. The store blends old and new and it is very large and divided into rooms. “There is always something for everyone,” Marlene says. The mix is very interesting because there is vintage furniture, collectibles, decorative accessories, primitives, Bucks County art, and vintage clothing from 50s, 60s and 70s. It is fun just to visit and impossible to leave empty handed. Bucks County Antiques Gallery, Inc. is located at 8 Skyline Drive, Chalfont, PA; 215997-3227.
