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!

April is Almost Over!

 April is almost over! My youngest son is graduating in May from college, moving out on his own and starting a new career.  It's bittersweet. 

Our Spring Open House at the Carriage House is next week May 4-8.  We are joining along with The Shops of Ridgefield and the Crystal Lake Antique Mall. Each shop is open on different days and different times so make sure to check the Facebook pages for details.


What's the best therapy when you're home with a cold? Redecorating your home of course. I put away all of the Easter decorations and spent time lightening up my home for the warm weather which I hope will get here soon....


I thought that the cloche looked a little cloudy, so I took it into the kitchen to wash it. Well, I dropped it into the sink and it broke it many pieces.  It still looks great without it until I find another.


Anything looks great on this awesome Structo truck!

At least I didn't try to wash this one....


This is my favorite vignette in front of my fireplace...


Keep checking for estate sales. Garage sales are popping up everywhere now too. Plus, flea markets have begun,  This is one of my favorite estate sale finds. An MCM macrame' plant holder....


The tiny owls on the braids are adorable! It hangs way too long to get a good picture of it. But you get the idea of its cuteness...


Happy treasure hunting...
