We have been buying furniture from them ever since we moved here. Their place is in Petite Riviere, right on Highway 3. I have always felt fortunate to have met a man who has great taste in furniture and who has the ability to put this old furniture in perfect condition. If you buy an antique from the Joy of Antiques, you know the piece can be moved right into your home with no stop at the repair man. It is a great blessing to have them close at hand, relatively speaking.
Saturday we visited them to purchase two chests for the Guest House. When we were here in May, Joy of Antiques was closed for the season, so I waited until we all returned. It was worth the wait. Tomorrow we pick up a lovely chest, made of pine, in Nova Scotia. Also a side table made of tiger maple. On Saturday, we brought back an inexpensive chest, home made and rustic, to be used for luggage. Also two wing chairs for the reading corner. Only one has been taken up to the guest house. The other sits in Ken's workshop awaiting the decision to take it up the stairs. No reason to take it up if it will crowd the space.
The store is only open on Saturday and Sunday from 12 to 5. Tom, the owner, does not wish to keep longer hours. It is worth dancing to his tune because he has lovely interesting furniture. Now the Guest House is complete.
