Follow me on my pathtojunkentreasure as I hunt for treasures at flea markets, garage sales, rummage sales, thrift stores, estate sales and even on the side of the road. I'll share my love of ironstone, hammered aluminum, vintage Christmas, vintage jewelry, doilies and tablecloths, flower frogs, garden items and anything rusty and chippy.

My Mind is On....

My mind is on Christmas.  Vintage Christmas. November 7-10 is the Holiday Open House at the Carriage House.


I have bin upon bin of vintage Christmas to bring so I'm planning my displays.  It's my favorite time of the year.  Hope you can make it!

Here are my fun finds from the last Elkhorn Flea Market of the season.... You know how I love my vintage Santas.



I wanted to share a fun find from a garage sale.,,,



Isn't this awesome?

My house doesn't have overhead lighting. Each room needs a lamp.  I have always loved and admired the homes that had overhead fixtures. I knew that my bathroom would be so great with a chandelier in it. I was right! There is an overhead fan fixture that I hung it from even though it won't be plugged in anywhere. It's great to just have the look.


I bought that fabulous floral painting years ago on my birthday. It's one of my favorite paintings.

There are some fun events coming up to get you into the holiday spirit.  Nov 1-2 is
Christmas at the Farm in Belvidere.  Other stores are starting their Holiday Open houses at the same time. Keep checking for your favorite shops.

November 8-9 is Three French Hens in Morris.  The same weekend is Urban Farmgirl's Holiday Open House in Rockford. It's a cute store that last year had the most amazing hot chocolate bar.

There are other craft shows popping up now for the holidays. Check your local areas. I like to start getting in the holiday spirit early!

Happy treasure hunting!
