She has the new type antiques not the old stoggy Federal dark wood items of your grandmother, but the new hip items that you see in all the magazines for style and design. You gotta check her out, she is near J.McLaughlin's in the center, and always is bringing new and unusual things into her shop daily. ...read more

The other day I was riding out to see some friends and I stop at this antique shop at the corner of Route One and 452, Silver Moon Studio Antiques. From the outside it looks like a small shop but inside, you will find a lot of great items for fairly reasonable pricies. You know how we all look at the magazines for ideas today, well this lady has everything that you could be looking for in that shop. She has some incredible items, French, Gustavian, Shabby Chic and the stuff that one sees in all the design magazines. I did some serious damage to my card at this shop. The lady there is very helpful and can suggest things in her shop to put together in your home. It is worth the trip. She isn't your usual antique shop, she doesn't have collectibles like depression ware or that junk your mother had in her cupboards. She has real furniture and some new items that you could blend with the antiques. Cudos to her! ...read more
