Port Washington Is A Mecca for Antique Lovers

Valentine's Day is the perfect time to express your love and admiration for your favorite people.

This year take a unique journey by visiting Port Washington's antique stores to select charming Valentine's presents, instead of going to a crowded mall or ordering gifts online. Just stroll through the heart of town along Main Street towards the harbor, and you will discover antique and vintage treasures for that someone special. 

It's an adventure to enter the shops, including , , ,  and  Search through their showcases  and hunt around overstocked shelves for a memorable gift. The owners and their knowledgable staff are eager to educate customers about each item. 

An antique has a history of its own and will become part of the future once it is recycled into a new home. Antique and vintage keepsakes are enviro-conscious "green" gifts, a boost to our planet.  

Some of the suggestions in the photo gallery can be combined with  a companion gift. Some examples:

• Candlesticks and a romantic gourmet dinner at home
•  An antique picture frame with a gift of a professional portrait photo session
• Vintage perfume bottles with a box of her favorite scent
• A vase with a bouquet of live flowers 
• An antique platter filled with chocolate hearts
• A vintage pen along with a love sonnet from William Shakespeare in your handwriting. 

There is no limit to what you can put together. And it will be very special because it comes from your heart.
