My husband and I went on a weekend getaway to Cape May, NJ. We enjoyed our stay at the historic Congress Hall (home of Sea Spa and the Blue Pig Tavern). Of course, I visited a few antique shops in search of treasures. If you are in the area, I recommend checking out:

Treehouse Antiques                                                                                               742 Seashore Road, Cape May, NJ (609) 884-4600

Located in Victorian Cape May, it is where dealers, collectors and designers shop for fine antiques. TreeHouse Antiques was established in 2003. The welcoming restored yellow Victorian home and attached carriage house are laden with treasures. Twenty-three dealers from New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Virginia offer a wide variety of furniture, china, American Art Pottery, glassware, lighting, linens, jewelry, and vintage collectibles. It is open year-round. http://www.treehouseantiquesctr.com
