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!

Hello Fall!

 Hello Fall!

As soon as the weather gets cooler, I'm baking. I made six butternut squash mini breads today. They freeze well so I'm always ready when company comes over. 


Sales have been great these last few months! Wait until you see some of my treasures....


and these...


Wait there's more....


I've been extremely lucky recently with ironstone finds and I only kept one!


These finds were from different sales on different days...


And these too...


2 flea markets where I found some treasures...


Why buy one when you could buy the whole box of flower frogs? Of course I bought them all!



The Carriage House just celebrated the beginning of their 18th year in business. I am celebrating my 7th year there. It has been sooooo much fun! I'm enjoying every minute of it.

We are making plans for the early part of November for our Vintage Christmas Open House. Here's a teaser for you. I have such a large amount of Santa mugs this year. I lost count!


Enjoy all that fall brings you!


There are still plenty of estate/rummage/garage sales going on. The last Elkhorn Flea Market of the season is this weekend September 26. The Vintage Shop Hop is October 1-2 (the Carriage House is participating.) The last Cedarburg Flea Market of the season is October 3. Wilmot Flea Market continues for a few more Sundays. Autumn Drive in Woodstock is October 15-17. 

Happy treasure hunting!
