Explore the Loft™ is our family venture into cyberspace... a means by which to offer for sale the treasures we find on our journeys throughout Northern California and beyond!

David and I are both lifelong collectors and enjoy the thrill of discovering new items with which to tempt you. We specialize in vintage paper goods of all kinds, but often find treasures of other sorts, and will offer them here as well.

We pride ourselves on the quality of our merchandise, and strive to offer only items that we would enjoy in our own collection; even gleaning items that do come from our own collection, as it evolves and expands to encompass new "finds"!

As such, it is our hope that you will always be pleased to add these special items to your collection. If you have any questions, or have 1920's or 1930's era antique paper or ephemera to sell or trade, please feel free to contact me by clicking on the bottle at the bottom of the page.

Our extensive catalogue of paper goods can be accessed either by clicking on the appropriate picture (above), or by following the corresponding link on the menu at left.

Happy Collecting!
Laurie Loft
