Interesting multi-dealer antiques store with varied booths. Lots of nooks and corners to explore, a great place to potter about for an hour or so. Staff seemed nice and friendly too – always a big bonus. Website: www.facebook.com/CLINTONANTIQUECENTER Continue reading Clinton Antique Center, Clinton CT
Quite a chaotic jumble of things here, mostly furniture, some smaller household items and books. They also sell painted and ‘revamped’ furniture in a shabby chic style, some of which I like and some I kinda wish they’d left alone. … Continue reading Thriftique, Clinton CT

Surprised that I didn’t know about this place before now. Hartford is the closest large city to me and I don’t usually find myself visiting too often. I do go to Real Art Ways now and then but still I … Continue reading The Jumping Frog, Hartford CT
