1241 Meriden-Waterbury Turnpike, Plantsville“Stopped by today just to look, ended up finding a vintage camera at an affordable price! Jim was very nice and helpful and showed me all the mechanics of the camera. Definitely going back!”
“Steve has the right STUFF!! I was initially put off by this curiosity shop because many of the items weren't priced. I'm not a fan of asking "how much is this?" each time I see a piece that interests me. But I was quickly won over by the owner's friendly, hospitable and inviting demeanor. He explained that there is so much turnover in inventory, and so much of it, that it's a challenge to price everything quickly. Ok, cool! Doubt alleviated! As we ventured more deeply into this cavern filled with treasures, we discovered lots of cool pieces that struck a chord! The shadow box filled with badges and medals was alluring, and the sports memorabilia piqued my nephew's interest. The furniture was fabulous, many one-of-a-kind pieces that would surely add flair to any décor. There's also a case of figurines and knick knacks that would make cool conversation pieces. Another large display case held teapots, teacups & retro kitchenware. Everything was well appointed with little vignettes hither and thither on every table and shelf. We were quite mesmerized by the place. It was clean, well organized and intriguing. My daughter gathered several copper pots and containers for her collection, as well as an unusual brass unicorn spigot/faucet that was delightful! My niece perused the aisles while my sis-in-law and I spied the jewelry cases! I found some sterling silver & turquoise earrings along with a unique kite brooch of onyx and mother of pearl. Sis found a dainty pearl necklace, a strand of long cultured pearls, & a pretty pair of vintage cameo earrings. I loved Steve's willingness to wheel & deal and he made our day!! The prices didn't put a strain on our purses!! We left this shop chattering about what a fun experience it was to enter this enchanting establishment! I dare you to leave empty handed!”
“Definitely a hidden gem if you’re an antique lover!! The shop is ran by a very sweet couple who love to get to know their customers. You can find almost any antique good you are looking for in this store and prices are fairly reasonable for the quality of the goods. They are open to haggling down prices so don’t be afraid to ask how much something is and show that you want to buy it! This is my favorite place to go for antique jewelry.?”
“The owner is exceptionally kind and trustworthy. He took on the extra effort and expense to insure a fragile marble bust was packed correctly and shipped across the country, because he understood how important the bust was to our family. I would confidentially recommend buying from him to my closest friends.”
“Whenever I am in the area, which is about once or twice a month, I stop in. They sell a lot of cool stuff. Everything's is priced to be a great value. It is easy to get in and out, the place is on the parkway, the "BT" as the locals call it.”
“My personal experience with Ryan is that he is a wonderful resource for auction, sales and value of your precious items. He is honest and extremely knowledgeable. I recommend Nest Egg and Ryan highly! Also a reputable resource for Realtors with assistance needed for estate sales, and evaluations, as well!”

324 Guinevere Ridge, Cheshire“Dean is fabulous! I brought two glass pieces to him: a mid-century modern crystal case and a Venetian hand blown bird. The bird had one chip, the vase many. The work he did on both is absolutely marvelous: you cannot tell where the bird was chipped, and you have to know where to look to even guess that the vase was damaged. I highly recommend his work (and he’s also very nice to talk to).”
