There's a new kid in town (Duncans Mills), and his name is "Willie". After lovingly collecting antiques and other unique art piece for over 36 years, Jim Raidl and his best friend, Willie, an adorable Bichon Frise, have opened a quaint, whimsical antique shoppe reminiscent of jolly old England in the Country Stores Courtyard in Duncans Mills.
The shop, tucked away in a corner adjacent to the Courtyard Gazebo, features a treasure trove of antiques & collectibles from several eras. Jim would say his wares range from the "sublime to the ridiculous". A colorful Carousel Horse welcomes you along with stuffed (real) chickens, kitchen collectibles, fine china, crystal and much more.

This comes from the front of the Gondola and holds the steering rope. Close your eyes and let the horse lead the way as you vicariously glide down the canals of Venice. A rare find. Wooden Nutcrackers (dark walnut) Victorian circa 1890. These charming European artifacts, highly sought after by collectors, are hand carved in a half moon and old man winter design.

Jim has a warm and gracious personality which makes visiting this shop an absolute pleasure. I purchased a beautiful Christmas wreath and a few other treasures and wished to have them shipped to our home in IL after the holiday season. He was extrememly accomodating and made sure to follow through via e-mail and phone to make sure all the necessary details were in place. He is quite knowledgable about the area and had great information to share about Northwood Golf Course where our husbands happened to be golfing that day. Thanks, Jim, for making our shopping experience in Duncans Mills a fond
