(An online store for The Fuzzy Lobster, LLC.)

A little bit about how The Fuzzy Lobster, LLC and The Fuzzy Lobster's Inlet came into this world....

I am Rose Downes the owner and creator of The Fuzzy Lobster, LLC. and The Fuzzy Lobster's Inlet and I have been collecting various items for the last thirty-eight years or so. As a young child, my parents shared their love of books and music with me and so at an early age, I started collecting books, music, music-related items, ephemera and for a time, comics. My parents also passed on a love of traveling and an interest in other regions, cultures and time periods. As I grew older, I moved several times and began to travel a lot and my nomadic lifestyle spurred my own interest in other regions, cultures and time periods and added a depth and breadth to my collecting that continues to this day.
My interests are extremely varied and it shows in what I collect and what I choose to sell to my customers. It was an easy transition to go from "just collecting," to becoming a seller. With my move to New England in 2008, I decided to make my hobby into the serious business that it was becoming. The Fuzzy Lobster, LLC. and The Fuzzy Lobster's Inlet were born! I sell mostly antiques, vintage and collectible items. I actively go to auctions and get most of my inventory from auctions and estate sales. When I travel, which has been fairly frequently, I pick up items wherever I am. I have made several cross country trips on which I was able to pick up some really unique items throughout the US. For me, half the fun of the business is the hunt for items to share with my customers. I never know what I will find, and consequently, my customers get the benefit of my adventurous and nomadic nature.

Thank you for your interest in my items!
