Antiques & Vintage Trending in 2023

I hear that antiques and vintage will be trending in 2023! How exciting is that?! We at Tattered Tiques’s love to go antiquing, thrifting, road tripping and more for good old vintage.  We haven’t met a flea market we didn’t like.  When we are out picking, we see such amazing things. Some of those make it home with us. Heck, many a roadside treasure have even made it home with us. Over the years, we’ve managed to bring home a good assortment of cool vintage.  Things like ironstone pitchers, globes, old scales, maps, seed boxes, vintage alarm clocks, yard photos, signs and so much more have made their way home with us. Flea markets are the biggest culprit! Over the years, we’ve managed to fill entire cars, trailers and rental trucks from flea marketing. Memorable road trips to places like Springfield Extravaganza in Ohio will never be forgotten, and neither will all the vintage goodness that we found.  Take a peek at these old photos I found. 

Years ago we showcased some of our favorite pieces and collections from our homes.  

This was my vintage globe collection. 

This was one of my favorites.

This is an old shoe rack mom(Nancy) transformed into a shelf. 

How great is this old seed box she has?  These are not that easy to find these days…if you do find one, they are REALLY expensive.  I think she paid under $40 for this one. 

The shoe rack also holds her antique ironstone pitcher collection.

We all have our own version of this collection. Ironstone pitchers are a weakness of ours. 

This is part of Julie's.

This is a MINOR part of Anne's.

  The truth is…we all LOVE these old pitchers and we all have a pretty good selection of them. 

Have you seen antique yard photos?  They are so cool!

I used to have a large collection on a wall in my living room.

I love the blank and white group photos.  

We used to sell yard photos at the shop, and may still have some in back. 

This was one of Anne's favorite pieces.  It used to be in her chicken coop.  It's an old galvanized nesting box from Iowa.  The old hardware sign above is a great piece too.  She got it for $20 and it's double sided!

What do you collect? Are you a lover of antiques and vintage? 

Quick Fall Decorating

We wanted to share a few quick and super easy decorating ideas that we pulled from the shop this week.

It doesn't get any easier than this.  Mom just added a swag of leaves garland around the top of a garden urn, and added a pumpkin. 

Here we just laid a bushel basket on its side and filled it with more autumn greenery, and some antlers.  It's an instant fall arrangement.  We have tons more great antlers to choose from if you don't have any.  They are great for fall and winter decorating.

We love these large vintage scoops.  Look how cute it is filled with a little seasonal twist.

Get out your collections ladies.  A collection of vintage Thermos's turns into a fall display simply by adding a couple of sunflowers. 

Enjoy your weekend.  We will be heading up to Elkhorn Antique Market on Sunday to shop.  Our guys will be selling "junk" from behind the curtain at Tattered Tiques.  We won't really be advertising it's Tattered Tiques. They have named themselves "The Family Jewels." Just look for two guys wearing tshirts, one saying "cheap" and one saying "ass".  In case you are wondering, my husband is cheap and Anne's is an ass!  Have a great weekend everyone!  We will be open next week,  October 2nd (Tuesday), the 4th, 5th, and 6th.

Elkhorn Antique Flea Market

Getting ready for Elkhorn Antique Flea Market this week.  The market starts this Sunday, Sept. 26, at 7:00 am.  It is held at the Walworth County Fairgrounds, on Hwy. 11, in Elkhorn Wisconsin.  We have made another batch of cookies for all our customers.  Hope to see you there. 

 
Fall gourds, pumpkins and indian corn, make such great subject matter for pictures.  These pictures were taken on the road trip home from Minnesota.  Local farm stands are the best for fall produce.
