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. You can find me at Carriage House Antiques in Crystal Lake Illinois. Please join me on my pathtojunkentreasure!

January Ramblings

Welcome January and all its' cold and snow!  Happy New Year!


I spent some time in early January in New Jersey visiting with family and friends. The temperature hit a record 70 degrees on a few days. It was so warm the day I was in Atlantic City. A walk on the boardwalk was picture perfect!

Before I left I found this treasure at an estate sale....


and these fabulous concrete statues....


These treasures I found when I returned from my trip at an estate sale...


I love these vintage Easter chicks!  I'm keeping them as a part of my collection.

Originally I bought this stool to sell but once it was home, I just couldn't part with it yet. It's perfect in my basement.



March 8 is the Elgin High School Flea Market in Elgin. I will be a vendor again this year! As soon as I know my location I'll let you know. It's a well attended flea market with many many great vendors. It's a mix of vintage, new, crafts and food but one of the best flea markets around held once a year. Make sure to mark your calendar.

That same weekend, March 6-7 is the Vintage Shop Hop with over 500 shops in WI and IL. Carriage House will be participating again this year.

I'm still updating my favorite flea market and shows calendar page so keep checking it out and marking your calendar.

Happy treasure hunting!
