Looking for a New England antique shopping getaway? Explore favorite small-town shops, charming stays, vintage finds, and overnight trip ideas.
What started as a simple idea to plan a few overnight antiquing trips has turned into one of my favorite ways to explore New England. Antiquing in New England: Small-Town Antique Shopping Getaways follows my travels to antique shops, markets, and tucked-away towns worth planning a trip around—along with the places I stay, what I find, and sometimes a favorite restaurant or two along the way.
Over the past year, these little antiquing getaways have taken me from flea markets and sprawling antique warehouses to small-town shops filled with character. I share what I discover, what I bring home, where I stay, and what I might do differently next time. And, of course, you’ll often see those vintage finds again once I’m home and decorating with them.
Whether you’re planning your own small-town antique hunting weekend or simply looking for a new place to explore, each trip is built around the same simple idea that started this series: a shop, a stay, and a find.
