HOME AWAY FROM HOME
Each year thousands of people make the pilgrimage to Antiques Week in New Hampshire. For many, it’s like a home away from home—the collective shows are a huge house, with diverse dealers occupying different rooms—each inviting you in to explore, learn and take away a little bit (or a lot) of their home to yours.
“Home Away From Home” is a collection of Folk Art & Americana assembled for exhibition and sale at Antiques In Manchester: The Collector's Fair, August 9-10, 2017. Additional information: stevenspowers.com
