Fall Antique & Junk Stroll - Part 1

Junk and Antique Shopping

Every year in NW Indiana, there is a “Fall Stroll” that a few Antique and Junk dealers take part in. Below is the 5th Annual Event that I was invited too. Cash in hand, I gladly went!


My first stop was Bar D Bid Antiques in Demotte, Indiana. While I was there I had to get a pic of her chicken coop.

Yes this is a real working ranch!



Salvaged Treasures

I took so many photos of the two stops I made for this event, that I had to split this into two different posts.


So here we go!

This beautiful tobacco basket you see below, followed me home.

Junk Finds



These sconces below, intrigue me. 


I know I could have come up with an up-cycle idea for these babies.

Check out the large galvanized minnow bucket. I am now wishing I had picked that up too.


If it is still there the next time I go, it most likely will follow me home.

The solid wood door below, is one I don’t expect to stay in her shop long.


Wouldn’t that make an epic barn door? Believe me, if I had a place in my home, it’d be in MY home!

Below, is was an epic find in my opinion. I have shopped all over the Chicago land area and Indiana and have never seen one of these. I think a family friend was interested in this baby, so I wouldn’t be surprised if its gone.


It is an antique Fireman’s Water Tank. (think that's what you'd call it)
