“Oh the things you can find, if you don’t stay behind!”

Dr. Seuss

Holy cow! I have never seen anything like this place before. My senses are overload by this paradise of entertaining things to see. As we pulled into the parking area, many zoo and farm animals, King Kong, and a huge dragon greeted us. I had seen places with statuary before but never to this degree and surely, never so large.

We got out and walked around their 3.5 acres of land that is stocked full of interesting lawn art, garden furniture, and statuary. They seem to have everything from chandeliers, life size horses statues to beautiful iron antique gates. I would have loved to bought one of the iron gates for our property but it but it was too huge and heavy to bring home with us. We saw a statue of a huge moose we named Bruce and even there was even a Zeus. They had waiters and gators, mountains of fountains, dragons and wagons, wishing wells and cement shells, dogs, frogs, hogs, dragons and wagons and so much more. I could go on and on. The more we walked around, the more interesting things there were to be found.

We enjoyed the mermaids and Michelin guy brigade, cement and iron benches, a large blue crab, lawn jockeys, planters, and Goddesses. You name it and I’m pretty sure, they have it. I’m sure if they didn’t have it, the could get it. They specialize in hard to find items. We even met a nice live cat that came up to us for some attention. She stayed with us, seemingly showing us around, as we explored this extraordinary place.

This store was opened in 1993 and is a family owned business. The business has been in operation for three generations. They specialize in quality antique reproductions, home furnishings, garden decor, and statuary which they sell at very low prices. They claim to have the widest selection of imported furniture and garden decor in the state.

When we were done walking through the statuary garden, we walked up on the porch to go in the store. We were disappointed as it was closed so we couldn’t go inside this huge incredible three story store chock full of amazing items and deals. The stores is open seven days a week form 9 am to 5 pm. We will just have to go there another time when it is open to check out the inside.

We really enjoyed just looking at all the unique items and found it both nostalgic, and entertaining. The decor changes all the time so there is always something new to see. They will sell wholesale if you ask them about it, and will ship anywhere in the US and Canada and even free if the item is small enough. Here is the link to their site: www.jantiques.myshopify.com or you can just call them at 856-451-2143. Why not check them out and do a little shopping?

We loved this place and will be back when the store is open next time. This is not just shopping but an experience. I’m glad this place is here. They are located at 1530 Route 77, Upper Deerfield, New Jersey. Bye for now.
