Welcome

My name is Samantha and this blog stems from my eternal and lifelong passion for history, antiques, vintage, and collectables! I'd love to expand on what I know and I hope you will like what you see and explore the historic eras together!


Content will range from historical articles, unique finds, historical local places, wedding ideas, antique demonstration videos, holiday/seasonal décor ideas, and of course lots of pictures and some great tried and true recipes!


Look out for weekly "In The Attic" highlights which feature unique finds and either provide information researched or ask questions to the antique community. If you have a unique find and would like to be featured in In The Attic please feel free to contact me. :)


Coming soon: Weekly blog articles featuring refinished, up-cycled or re-purposed antique projects.


Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for discount coupon codes for Samantha's Lake Country Collectables Etsy store items.

Mother's Day Series: Local Finds Gift Ideas

Hello everyone and welcome back! Last week we explored the Barrie Antique Centre for gift ideas, but this week we are going to stay a little closer to home and explore Antiques on 11 North Mall which is just North of Orillia visible from highway 11.

Here are a few items I spotted at the mall that might make some great local gift ideas for last minute shoppers:




Framed Art of Girl
Stained Glass Lamp and Antique Feather Art
Figurines
3 Tier Serving Platter Set
Unique Small China Cabinet

Vintage Cookie Jar with kittens









Lemonade pitcher with 6 matching glasses
 
 
That's all for this week's Local Finds Simcoe County! Thanks for reading and I hope you have an excellent day! Stay tuned for more antique and Mother's Day related blog articles coming soon!
