Laura's Lovelies, Part 1: The Shop


This is part of our friend, Laura's, front porch, which belongs
 to her multi- vendor antique and consignment shop, which
my sister, Cindy and I, had the pleasure of visiting this spring.


Antiques on Hwy 48, in the township of Baldwin, Ontario, houses
 a collection of  amazing items that welcome you at the door.


'Come on in, take a look around, and find that
 special treasure you've been looking for. That's 
our relaxed, down-home philosophy.', says Laura.


  She proudly points out, 'We have two floors of
 antiques, collectibles, furniture, vintage jewellery,


 vinyl, advertising memorabilia, primitives,


 lace and linens, cameras, radios, coin and paper money,


 vintage housewares, sports memorabilia,


 paintings, Jadeite, Fiesta,

 gold and silver, gas and oil advertising, pottery, ephemera,


 oddities, one of a kinds, and a lot more really cool stuff!'. This pie
 steam vent is both adorable and practical; I'd never seen one before!


When the chicks in this charming painting clucked spoke to me,
 Laura asked if 'they' would fit in my suitcase. Needless to say, 
these three stowaways will soon grace my living room mantel, 
 reminding me of the fun and fabulous day we spent together,
on that cool and sunny, April morning.


If you're ever in Baldwin, make sure to visit Antiques on Hwy 48,
where the unique and wonderful await their fate!


Stay tuned for Part Two of Laura's Lovelies; a 
beautiful tour of Laura's neighbourhood, and more!

Thank you, Laura, for the pretty painting,
and a day that proved most entertaining!

Thanks for visiting,
