My wife and I strolled the streets of Olde Ellicott City and came across Caplan's. Seems they have two locations with a showroom at 8125 Main St. and an Auction Gallery just up the street. We found two really nice stained glass windows there very well priced, I think around $ 400 for the pair of really large ones and they are beautiful in our new condo. When leaving their shop the attendant suggest since it was Sunday to go to their weekly Auction up the street at 8307 Main. We got there about 4:30 (the auction had started at 4pm) and find a bustle of people and tons of stuff to buy.
We dropped another $ 200 on a really cool shabby chic dresser, like new Karastan rug, two mirrors, a print and a cat figurine (my wife's idea). We figured it would've cost us $ 1,000 for that stuff new! Next time we go to EC we'll go on Sundays when they have their weekly auction, oh and visit their pretty store too. Love that place!!!
Pros: Prices are really reasonable
Cons: Very popular
