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.

A Wonderful Spring Day for Oatmeal Cookies & Tea

What better activity to do on a spring day than to fill the house with the wonderful smell of freshly baked chewy, oatmeal raisin cookies and a good cup of tea.  It is too early yet for my spring flowers yet as the snow is slowly receding from the yard but it is never too early to pull out a cheery set of china tea cups to brighten the table.  The key is to have fun and enjoy your antiques and share that love with others and when there is freshly baked cookies you can never go wrong.

Freshly baked Oatmeal Raisin Cookies served on a Vintage John Maddock & Sons 1930's Platter.
A bright and cheerful setting ready for tea complete with Paragon "English Flowers" tea cups & a vintage 1930's biscuit barrel.
