Like any good collector, Catherine Terlouw of Cathy’s Clutter, can describe the origin, age, culture, geographic region, and more of each of her collectibles. When it comes to vintage, antique, and “old,” it is important to remember: just because it is labelled does not necessarily mean it is an original.
Stamps on items can be faked and that works vice versa. If it is missing a label, that does not always mean it is old and it does not mean it is original. Without research and knowledge of its origin you really can’t be sure of very much.
These are the conversations buzzing around Cathy’s Clutter and in the other uniquely branded stores and booths at Amazing Finds located in Temperance Hill Shopping Center. Amazing Finds is different from most flea markets or resale shops. It is unique because each of the vendors is not only selling their collection, but buying, selling, and trading.
You never know exactly what you will find there, but you can bet you will see original pieces, specialty items or collectibles, vintage, antique, and contemporary items. The vendors are onsite and always looking for ways to share their knowledge of their collectibles and antiques.
Also known as “The Jewelry Lady” from her popular booths around Hot Springs, Terlouw is here for the love of it. A collector and artist, she is in her element among eye-catching jewelry, unique glass-wear, and costumes.
