Open Market At Tiverton 4 Corners -

"Located within a one hour drive of Boston, Providence, Newport, and the towns of Southeastern Massachusetts, Tiverton Four Corners has become an important center for antiques, fine art, decorative crafts, and cozy shops nestled into a quaint New England Village of 18th century buildings. Enjoy the fresh air as you walk the few steps between shops to peek in windows, sample gourmet treats and purchase quality goods of all kinds in an unhurried, friendly and charming atmosphere." (from their own website) Tiverton 4 Corners is in Tiverton Rhode Island.

This summer the local Farmer's Market has moved to Tiverton 4 Corners and across the street from it on the lawn under beautiful shade trees - something new is happening. On selected Saturdays an Open Market is taking place - offering quality antiques & collectibles - china, glassware, silver, rugs, furniture, vintage clothing, garden items and much more. On some Open Market Saturdays craft and art venders join the festivities.



Yesterday Holly Lane Antiques participated in this wonderful new event at Tiverton 4 Corners. This Open Market concept reminded us of when we participated in the SOWA Sundays in Boston. Much closer to home for us this market - still in its infancy - has such potential beginning with a perfect location and a dedicated promoter.



We decided to feature our Early English White Ironstone with a blue and white themed booth. Our beautiful blue hydrangeas provided our inspiration. Adding a large selection of antique blue transfer ware carried out the blue theme.





Holly Lane Antiques will be at the Open Market whenever our busy summer schedule of Antiques Shows allows. Future Open Markets are scheduled for August 6 & 20, September 3rd and October 8th.



Just look at these beautiful peppers I found at the Farmer's Market - they almost do not even look real!

What A Treat! Holly Lane Antiques In Print -

"Why do we love antiques? Perhaps it is because they are works of art with a past, or because they remind us of years gone by, or maybe it is the way they surprise and charm us?"

Last month Holly Lane Antiques participated in the Antiques At Elm Bank Show in Wellesley Ma. This is a favorite show of our summer schedule since it is set on the grounds of the historic Elm Bank Estate in tents amidst beautiful gardens.

I always strive to have my booth looking perfect to best showcase my antique treasures. On Sunday we were visited by two ladies who asked if they could take pictures for a magazine article they were working on - commenting that our booth was magazine ready. What a lovely compliment! The article would be featuring Antiques in New England.



What a surprise and treat it was to receive the link to the completed issue late last week! To see such beautiful pictures of our booth being featured was an amazing feeling.

Thank you to Yvonne Blacker and Rosanne Palazola and New England Finery Magazine!

"I love incorporating antiques into my design work. It gives a new design some history - some "ghosts"! With each piece I try to imagine what life was like when it was first brought into a home - how the owners lived, how the piece was used. And now it gets a chance at rebirth bringing the past into the present. Antiques also fit into my ethic of "Recycle, Reuse, Repurpose!" Antiques are the ultimate in green design."
