Tree House Antiques Is Near The Collinsville Antiques Company of New Hartford, CT

I really enjoy visiting Peter's shop on Route 44, just down the road from the Collinsville Antiques Company of New Hartford. You just never know what Peter has brought back to the shop on any given day. And if you are in search for something in particular. just ask Peter, he has secret hiding places in his shop.

Peter Has Hiding Places In His Stuffed Antique Shop

A few days ago I was making the rounds looking for a cast iron frying pan. Peter, didn't have a pan, but he pulled out several cast iron pots tucked under a skirted table. Most of the fresh inventory ends up near his "business counter" so be sure to snoop around the display spaces near his "office" area.

" Tree House Art And Antiques" has many different rooms as well as tent space and front yard space. I am always puzzled as to why Peter brings in so many collectibles into his shop. When is enough enough? I guess, to a compulsive collector, it is hard to resist a good deal. Peter likes to shop!

Loving This 1940s
Flower Cart I Found At The Collinsville Antiques Company of New Hartford, Connecticut

I have been out hunting for garden and porch stuff and lo and behold, I found fabulous finds at The Collinsville Antiques Company of New Hartford, Connecticut.

Shopping In My Own Booth

And where did I find these precious garden accessories?

Shabby Works

Yep...in my very own booth. Now how much fun is that shopping in your very own booth. (Of course I bought some of these patio collectibles from other dealers over the years, but now they made it into my booth. The yellow chair is a chippy shabby child's chair that has been in my booth with a box of paper collectibles resting on it. Look how cute it looks on the porch with a colorful plant.

Decorating With Vintage Garden And Patio Accessories

The price was right (taking home goodies from my very own booth)...so I felt really pleased. And I can't believe I actually decided to part with some of my 1940s kitsch n collectibles and USE my garden accessories on my very own porch! Up until now, I was not interested in "wasting" good collectibles that I could sell. But, guess what, I am making a breakthrough...and finally decorating my own house...inside and outside.
