The Haddon Heights Antiques Center’s latest special sales display celebrates things associated with fall, from heading back to school to cheering on the team at the football game, from picking apples to carving pumpkins. Fall is always perceived as being colorful, and this display will showcase that with bright reds and oranges and yellows in the antique china and glassware that might grace an autumn table, in the vintage Halloween decorations, and in the colorfully illustrated old schoolbooks from the past. Fall sports, principally football, will merit space in the special display, too. Look for Eagles memorabilia as well as local and collegiate teams. The wildlife of fall, such as owls, pheasants, deer, and foxes, might peer out from the fall
foliage, too. Like the entire Haddon Heights Antiques Center, the special display is always a treat for the eyes and a delightful surprise. This two-story, multi-dealer shop, has a variety of antiques and collectibles in all price ranges, a generous discount policy, and active dealers who change their inventory on a regular basis. The Haddon Heights Antiques Center is open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is complying with New Jersey state regulations in regard to Covid-19 prevention. The shop is conveniently located at 531 Clements Bridge Road, just off I-295 and the White Horse Pike where Haddon Heights and Barrington meet at the railroad tracks in Barrington, N.J.
