From the luxurious to the just plain weird, the Gatsby Collection is a collector's paradise.
The Gatsby is located in historic St. Michaels on Maryland's Eastern Shore. Driving into town, the shop's exotic offerings loom and beckon passers-by, with ourdoor sculptures, antique conservatories and estate-sized fountains on full view.
But you don't have to go to Maryland to view the Gatsby Collection's offerings. The shop has a retail website and eBay shop as well.
Not many shops can boast the eclectic mix of the Gatsby Collection. Need an antique diving suit--the kind with the brass bubble head? They have one. How about a life preserver from the Queen Mary? A antique European conservatory? You can also find a huge replica of the World War II British fighter, the Spitfire, ornate iron horse troughs, gargoyles, kitty cats, buddhas, French antiques, English antiques...Well, you get the picture.

While many of the decorative objects are for the estate-sized budget, not everything is priced into the thousands.
I bought more of the concrete finial-designed hose guards I've been collecting for $20 each. The rustic jars from Turkey (pictured above) were $145 each. Many of the smaller garden concrete ornaments are priced in the $40 to $100 price range.

The Gatsby Collection imports finds from more than 22 countries and displays them in a 40,000 square food space.
You can also sign up at the website to receive weekly emails with new offerings.

The Gatsby Collection is located at 1007 Talbot Street, St. Michaels, MD 21663. You can reach them by telephone at (410) 745-3700.
