NO LONGER IN BUSINESS
We will still occassionally sell items from our own collection on Facebook and/or Instagram, so feel free to follow those if you like – but the 'brick and mortar' shop in Torbay is no longer operating.
In the summer of 1991, Treasure Cove opened it's doors in the beautiful town of Torbay, Newfoundland. A passion project for Greg and Patricia Haynes, who started collecting and refinishing antique furniture in their early 20s, Treasure Cove has been a reflection of their travels throughout North America, Europe and the UK. Greg was a proud member of Canada's Air Force for 27 years, so they moved their young family from city to city – a lot. All the while, the couple collected antiques and oddities knowing one day they'd get to live out their dream of owning an antiques and collectibles shop of their own. Treasure Cove became a reality when Greg retired from 'the forces' – his short military-hair grew long and grey, and he traded his combat boots for comfy sneakers he rarely fully laced up.
With the support of many friends and family, Patricia Haynes continues Treasure Cove's story – which marked it's 30th Anniversary in 2021. She ran the shop on her own for a couple years and in July of 2022 closed the doors for the last time after a huge sale that saw the sell off of pretty much every single thing in the shop.
A photographer her entire life, Patricia has been looking forward to retiring in style by getting back out on the road taking photos of our province. Say hi if you see her out on your travels, she probably has a camera in hand and great memories of Treasure Cove in her heart.
