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.

Local Last Minute: Easter Antique Edition





I would like to introduce a new weekly headliner blog article entitled "Local Last Minute" which will include items from local Ontario antique malls, flea markets and last minute LOCAL antique finds to meet every need and occasion! Ordering online isn't for everyone but there are a vast number of antique lovers and vendors retiring due to lack of space and an aging population which makes this weekly feature ever so relevant as a way to keep the local Simcoe County antique mall industry alive in the minds of current and coming generations. History is what we leave behind to show how we lived this gift of life.

Lots of great last-minute unique Easter gift ideas, décor, holiday entertaining artifacts- and of course the reason why I love antique shopping so much: Conversation pieces! In case you were asking: What does Simcoe County have to offer of our heritage this week?

Here are some items I spotted at Antiques on 11 North Mall, just North of Orillia on Highway 11 (See links and pics at bottom for location and social media for more great finds!):
