Shopping is a great way to spend frigidly cold day in the winter. The only problem is that you miss out on the beauty that is New Hampshire. The best way to get the best of both worlds? Hop in the car for this vintage road trip! Those looking to spend some money on fun finds will be happy, as will those who don't want to miss a thing about winter in the Granite State. Hop in the car, turn up the tunes (we recommend 80s!) and see what you can find along this must-take route!
1. Old As Adam, Portsmouth
Start of strong right in downtown Portsmouth. Owned by a former lawyer, this little shop has been a labor of love ever since the realization that law isn't nearly as much fun as running a vintage shop. Come here for things like folk art, vintage games and neckties. Among other things, of course. They're located at 33 Ceres St., Portsmouth / (603) 661-9373.
2. Pickwick's Mercantile, Portsmouth
If you're not entirely sure what you want, this is the store for you. While they have an emphasis on women's clothing, there's a good array of other things that you'll probably end up leaving with instead. 64 State St., Portsmouth / (603) 427-8671.
3. Brie's Boutique, Portsmouth
The perfect place to go for the best vintage threads is right on your route through Portsmouth. Browse through decade-after-decade and walk out with something totally cool. Visit them at 960 Sagamore Ave., Portsmouth / 603) 431-3000.
4. Potato Barn Antiques, Northumberland
First up is a store that's actually found inside an old potato storage barn built in 1928! Here you'll find all the typical vintage and thrift goods, but you'll get the added benefit of knowing that you're walking around something that carries its very own history. Visit them at 960 Lancaster Rd., Northumberland / (603) 636-2611.
5. Lilise Designer Resale, Concord
This little shop was recently named to New Hampshire Magazine's list of best shopping in the state! They specialize in vintage accessories and they also have a consignment department. Visit them at 113 Storrs St., Concord / (603) 715-2009.
6. Lonesome Woods, Bethlehem
Next it's onto one of the most unique shops on this list. Lonesome Woods is also an apothecary. Stock up on essentials, while also being sure to see the local antiques. 2165 Main St., Bethlehem / (603) 991-1513.
