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.

Tea Party Entertaining Theme Ideas: Victoria Day

Hello Fellow Antique Lovers and welcome back! I just wanted to share the photo I took prior to my Victoria Day old-fashioned tea party entertaining this past long-weekend!

As you saw in yesterday's article, we recreated an authentic Victorian Sandwich recipe, but made it gluten-free so that everyone at your tea party can enjoy! Here is this week's theme pic:


Pictured above food-wise is the cut Victorian Sandwich recipe, top tier of strawberries and Ty-phoo tea, a traditional British tea which my grandfather introduced me to not very long ago, but he discovered is now available on Amazon in MEGA packs (for my fellow tea lovers!). A very flavourful tea, best brewed with chlorinated water for a strong and bold yet smooth taste.

But here is the best news: All these items are available for your next tea party!! And exclusively through this blog, you get 15% off all the items listed below and pictured above for the next month! Just enter the PROMO CODE: TEAPARTY2019 for these items on my Etsy Shop!!:
