| We've all spent time looking for something and there's nothing like an informed nudge - even if you end up somewhere you never expected. Here are some links we make much use of and others we like to try from time to time. |

Salvage SitesSometimes it's more important that you find it rather than that we sold it! We get antique plumbing pieces from time to time but if you really want a choice, Addison's is your place. Good early architecturals! A personal favourite of Scott and Chris snug in the most historical part of the province. A source for "hard to finds" in cottage country, Karen and John will do their best to fill your needs. The oldest in Canada and a must visit for top of the line architecturals! An inspiring source of architectural salvage and antique lumber just east of Toronto. Worth the trip! Lucan Architectural Antique Market New and old - ever bold. Drop by on your way to the shore. Cool, cool stuff! A jem in the Junction, this newer shop will dazzle. Maritime salvage with a smile - Alison culls from throughout the east coast provinces. You can even pick up a whole building! There's no knowing what will turn up in Paul's truck - you just have to keep going back. Another fine reason to visit the St Jacobs area for architecturals.

Antique SitesAlways something to find. One of the best reasons to visit Port Hope! In new hands with a new look - you have to see it again. Have you ever seen this much stained glass - "that's a nice one...ooh, look at that one...oh, my goodness...". Check it out.

Artisans"Good to knows" The Bridge StudioBeautiful glasswork beyond description. Have a look for yourself. Foiled AgainDave does all Artefacts' stain glass repair and a good job at that! He specializes in church window repair but also offers classes for the general interest. Extraordinary glasswork found only in St Jacobs. We have collaborated many times in the past, each creation a study in individuality! Thak's focus is the detailed forge work of armament and weaponry but is also our choice for repair on the pieces we find as well as the new designs we create. Wrought iron and coppersmithing combine to stunning effect Our favourite musician who comes around regularly but not too often. Make sure your speakers are turned on when you visit this site! Beautiful images and a keen spirit. Beautiful, handmade tile which can be seen surrounding the sales counter in our showroom. Carol and Tilman create pieces that cry out to be touched! We like Penny's work and think you will too. |
OthersFine, fine, fine coffee! If you haven't see this, you're missing out! Most everything you wanted to know for your visit. Isn't this fun! One more way to get to Artefacts - or to get away if your car won't start (as long as you're going to Waterloo)!
