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 Great Company Supporting the Juno Beach Centre & Veterans

Today I'd just like to write a quick shout out to D-Day Wear.com® / D-Day Wear.ca.

This clothing brand is an inspiration to all of us history lovers but especially to those of us who stand behind our veterans. D-Day Wear.com® not only stands behind veterans, they stand UP for veterans as well and their mission says it all:

"Our Mission as a Commemorative Military Apparel Retailer and Clothing Designer is to keep history alive, one t-shirt at a time.
D-Day Wear was designed to remind people of all ages how fortunate we are that so many gave so much for our countries in their time of need. We want people of Canada, The United States of America (USA), Great Britain / The United Kingdom (UK) and the other countries that were a part of the Allied Forces such as  Australia, Belgium, Czechoslovakia, France, Greece, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway and Poland to proudly wear these symbols of patriotism on a day to day basis.
People wearing our commemorative clothing designs will generate a year round public awareness while paying tribute to all our veterans and current soldiers of our great nations..."
 
They have so far donated $54,250 to Juno Beach Centre at Normandy, France, and over $63,000 in various other donations. Recently they have expanded their focus to veterans and active armed forces suffering from PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). Their latest campaign is to raise funds for professionally trained service dogs for veterans with PTSD. Give their website a look and you will see what I mean.

Thank you for supporting veterans, D-Day Wear.ca!
