If you love old things, you'll fall in love with Wisteria Antiques before you even make it through the door. This lovingly restored lilac-colored Victorian calls to mind days gone by. Even better, it is packed with carefully selected pieces that you'll die for. The boutique feels more like a very overstuffed home or well-curated museum than a store. It contains everything from antique costume jewelry to oriental rugs, hand painted porcelain and art. It's worth the trip if only to wander around the beautifully outfitted and serene rooms.
