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 Winter



Hello Winter! Except I didn't think that you would come in with a blizzard and freezing temps. While I'm home I decided to be creative. 

Since I had quite a few Putz houses that needed some sprucing up, I tackled those too....

and a few more....

Yesterday I was in the sewing mood. Only broke 1 sewing machine needle! I haven't sewn pillows in a while but the creative ideas were working on me... I have quite a bit of fabric, vintage lace pieces and ephemera so I decided to incorporate a few of them.

My house is decorated with all things vintage that I love! My tastes have started to change a little and its become a little more subdued in areas.

I like changing some things around each year.

Some things are too good to change...

This stays the same also...

Even though these are new Santa mugs from TJMaxx, they look super cute with my vintage corsages....

I bought these pink ones this year...

Here's a little tour of other areas in my home...






More dress form love...


One of my favorite finds this year....can you guess?


I LOVE this picture!

I make sure to add some sparkle to my house not only at Christmastime but every day.



Wishing you a very Merry Christmas! 



Happy treasure hunting! Milena
