Willy Barnes Vendor
Willy & Kelly Barnes
For over 45 years, my life has been intertwined with the world of antiques.
My journey began with my grandfather, who owned what he proudly called a “second-hand store” back in the 1950s. His store was more than just a business—it was a treasure trove, and from an early age, I learned the thrill of discovering hidden gems. Together, we attended thousands of auctions and estate sales, hunting for unique items that told a story.
My grandfather’s love for the business was infectious, and we worked side by side until he passed away at the incredible age of 93. Even now, those memories drive my passion for antiquing.
Antiquing A Lifetime of Passion for the Hunt
In the last eight years, I’ve had the pleasure of working with my wife, Kelly, and our trusted partners, Tom and Andre.
Together, we’ve built a strong team that shares a deep appreciation for history, craftsmanship, and the excitement of the hunt.
More Than a Hobby
For me, buying antiques from estates isn’t just a hobby—it’s an adventure.
Whether it’s a century-old family heirloom or a forgotten relic tucked away in an attic, the hunt is what keeps me going.
Every piece we find has a story, and our goal is to bring those stories to the next generation of collectors.
Finding a Piece of History
If you’re looking for someone who truly understands the thrill of the find and has decades of experience, we would love to connect.
Whether you’re a seasoned collector or just starting out, there’s nothing quite like the magic of uncovering a piece of history!
