Our homes always sparkle when we add something shiny or something new. However, items that have long been loved or exude a vintage vibe can bring extra charm to a space as well. That’s why many of us followed TV shows like Antiques Roadshow and Flea Market Flip—even in syndication.
But why should the folks on screen have all the fun? New Jersey’s antique shows and markets are the perfect place to find hidden treasures as well as the next conversation starter for your living room. So, before summer ends, take a quick road trip to one or more of the following and start your search!
