New Year, New Adventures


What does the new year have in store for you?
What new land will you visit?
What new culture will you learn?

What foreign land or different people will you open your mind to? Whose rich ancestry will enchant you? Whose history will ignite some new found curiosity in you?

Where will 2010 take you? Alaska? Japan?
Who will you meet? Navajos? Aztecs? Englishmen?

Come visit exotic lands and experience cultures new to you.
We're bringing the world to you, right here in your own backyard.
Right here, at Scranberry Coop.

Happy New Year

The holiday season is all too short. Vacation time, gift giving, a happy boss, whimsical songs, good memories, great food & spirits the fun and merry spirit of the holidays.

Let's make the fun last as long as possible.

Come on out to Scranberry Coop. Treat yourself to that little something special you didn't get as a gift this year. Or grab that little something special you should put away as the perfect gift for next year. Maybe you didn't get to see some of your friends or family yet. Come check out the multitude of treasures here, maybe one would be the best gift for someone you celebrate with on New Years or after.

Hey, maybe you got a little cash as a holiday present. This is the place you want to be. There are some very unique items here, from antique desks to vintage cookie jars, to collectible Barbie dolls, to World War II memorabilia. We've got incredible black Americana, we've got gorgeous Fiestaware, we've got Lenox and musical instruments, we've got Snoopy and JFK, we've got ephemera and furniture, we've got linens and lovely jewelry, we've got Matchbox cards, old Santas, Charles Chips tins, antique dolls, and vintage comic books.

Buying AND Selling

Take advantage of the opportunity to check us out for your last minute Christmas and Holiday shopping.
There's something for everyone here. Scranberry Coop is a 10,000 square foot building just packed with Antiques, Vintage Treasures, & Collectibles.

We are host to more than 150 dealers who fill over 200 separate and unique booths. Each dealer has their own style, their own sources, their own field of expertise, or their own collections for sale.
So while you're here shopping, take the time to think about what you would do with your own booth here.

Are you stressing a bit about spending too much for the holidays? Are the 2010 bills peeking around the snow drifts at you already? Well maybe this is the answer you're looking for.
We're casual, we're easy, and we're alot of fun. Talk to us about having your own booth.

You've been shopping in antique stores for a long time. Maybe you've built a few collections you're ready to part with. Maybe some of your collections have gotten so good or specific that you're ready to let go of some of the initial pieces. Maybe you've inherited the treasures of another - pieces you'd like to see be appreciated someplace. Maybe you've had a transitional year: a major move, a major career change, a shower, a wedding, inheritance, a new baby, a new family...

Maybe for whatever reason, "things" have changed, and that means "things" have to be moved, shifted, removed, rethought or re-evaluated.
We can help you do that.

Whether you're a long-time expert, a collector, or just someone that has a bunch of cool stuff, taking a booth at Scranberry Coop might be a fun way to start 2010. If you've thought about having your own shop, think no more - just do this. We'll do the blah stuff: the taxes, the insurance, the utilities and overhead. The credit cards, the snow removal, the banking. All you have to do is the fun stuff - bring in your finds and arrange your booth!

You can try it for a few months and see what happens. We've got a long established customer base that will be checking out your wares right away. Get more traffic than you would on Craigslist, or at a snowy yardsale. What do you have to lose? We're always excited to grow our family here.

So come on in and shop. Grab a snack at the snack bar. Have a good look around. Notice all the items we have that make you say, "Yeah, I have one of those too." Finish picking up your unique and meaningful seasonal gifts for family and friends here. Then go home and take inventory.

Then give us a call. What a fun New Year's Resolution: De-clutter, pay down some debt, finally realize your dream of having your very own booth in a great antique and collectibles shop. Scranberry Coop is your favorite place to shop, right? Well, maybe it's time to make it your favorite place to earn a little extra cash, too!

Father Time


"Father Time is a personification of time. He is usually depicted as an elderly bearded man, dressed in a robe, carrying a scythe and an hourglass or other timekeeping device (representing time's constant movement). This image derives from many sources, including the Grim Reaper and Chronos, the Greek god of time."

At Scranberry Coop, Father Time walks back and forth, in and out of decades, even centuries. He reminds you of your college days, he brings you back to your childhood. He rekindles images of your family and friends from long ago. He walks you through foreign places, familial lands, moments and memories, minute by minute.

Father Time is your tour guide at the Coop.
Come visit us.
Find something you remember.
