With the beautifully temperate February weather (69 degrees, to be exact) Anthony and I\u00a0spent the day exploring antiques stores, Barnegat through Smithville, NJ.\u00a0 We’re hitting the road again and\u00a0getting back to our roots – Driving for deco!<\/h4>\n

\"Bay<\/a>

Bay Avenue Antiques, Barnegat, NJ. Antiques is just visible. It is the white house on the right edge of the picture.<\/p><\/div>\n

Heading south toward Barnegat, NJ, our first stop was Bay Avenue Antiques<\/i>. A mix of old and new items of good variety greeted us. Prices were fair and the owner was willing to bargain with her patrons. We did contemplate purchasing a vintage Fiesta comport but decided against it. If you’re in the area, it is well worth the stop.<\/h4>\n

Across the street within viewing and walking distance was another shop. I don’t remember the name although we both believe it\u00a0called Antiques<\/i>. Full of curiosities, it seemed to specialize in “smalls”. The nicest thing Anthony saw was a 1948 RCA Victor TV, possibly designed by John Vossos. While the store didn’t have what we generally collect, for those of you on the hunt, it might be a place to check out.<\/h4>\n\n\t\t
