Welcome and thank you for stopping by my site!!

I'm Gail, I moved to beautiful Western Pa, from NJ 3 years ago. I have 3 amazing children, Aaron is 27, Andrea is 24 and my youngest Jessica just turned 21. I work in an animal hospital full time, have 3 little dogs, 1 is a Poodle Pomeranian mix, 2 Yorkies and 2 cats.

I have been collecting and dealing in Antiques and Primitives for 20 years. I have also dealt in antique dolls and teddy bears. I still have a few of my favorites around, a 27" Steiff bear from the 20's, an early Ideal bear, Schoenhut girl doll, a few bisque dolls including my favorite Bonnie Babe. I had an Antique & Gift shop when my kids were young, I also did alot of doll shows and mail order.

I have always loved primitives so living in Western Pa has helped me fill my home with some amazing primitives. So much that I had to rent a booth in an antique shop for the overflow, now that that's overflowing I thought I would try setting up my own website. I have sold on Ebay, mainly Antique Teddy Bears and Dolls, my Ebay name was "tedibayers", which at the time suited what I was selling, so now you can find me under "gailsprimitivegatherings" 

 I LOVE early primitives, especially anything with old worn paint. If that's the kind of things you like, you've come to the right place. Occasionally I have to part with something when something new comes along so you never know what you'll find here.  

Grab yourself a cup of coffee and let's go shopping. I'm always finding something new to offer so check back often. Be sure to register so I can send you updates of great new stuff. If there's anything in particular you look for send me an email, if there's something you're looking to sell let me know.
