How to spend the weekend in Boston | Antique shops are so much fun!

⏳ Cambridge Antique Market: A Timeless Treasure Hunt in Boston’s Neighborhood Is it just me, or does vintage charm hit different as you get older? There’s something magical about objects with stories—weathered edges, faded colors, that "lived-in" feel. On a snowy day (or any day you want to escape the ordinary), this massive antique market in Cambridge is pure joy. 🛍️ 🕰️ What to Expect: 5 Floors of Finds Size matters here: Five floors packed with everything. Think: Dainty vintage teacups and (ceramic) plates with hand-painted designs. Retro clothing, furniture with mid-century vibes, and old paintings that feel like they’ve seen decades. Quirky gems: vintage toys, film cameras, and dusty books you won’t find anywhere else. It’s a treasure hunt—take your time. I left with a small painting, a decorative plate, and a set of tiny toys (all "love at first sight" finds). Warning: If you’re not moving soon, you might leave with a cabinet full. 😂 💰 Prices: Something for Every Budget No need to be a collector—there’s something for casual browsers. Small trinkets start at a few dollars; rare furniture or art can hit the thousands. As a newbie, I stuck to "if it makes me smile" buys, but seasoned hunters will spot hidden gems. 📍 Why It’s Worth It Location: 201 Monsignor O'brien Highway, Cambridge—easy to reach and the perfect way to spend a lazy afternoon. Vibe: Cozy, cluttered (in the best way), and full of character. It feels like stepping into a time capsule, one corner at a time. ❄️ Snowy day blues? Grab a coffee, wander the floors, and let the past surprise you. This market isn’t just about shopping—it’s about falling for stories. #CambridgeAntiques #VintageFinds #BostonHiddenGems #WeekendWander
