Pack your curiosity and come antiquing in New England with me. Chasing hidden shops, cozy inns, and the vintage finds that make every detour worth the drive.
As winter settles in here in New England, I decided it was time to make a little plan, one that keeps me exploring, inspired, and surrounded by the vintage charm I love most. So, welcome to Antiquing in New England: Hidden Stops and Cozy Stays, a new series born out of my idea to hit the road each week, discover antique shops worth the drive, spend the night in a cozy inn, and maybe uncover a new favorite restaurant along the way.
Now that I’m retired, I have the freedom to wander, to explore tucked-away towns, meet shop owners, share what I find (and what I’d do differently), and of course, show you how I decorate with those treasures once I’m back home. Whether it’s one night or two, each trip is a chance to enjoy the simple magic of a shop, a stay, and a find.
