This Month's Tip:
Come
in and discuss what you can do with our items and get some greater
ideas for your lawn, garden and house.
The Carriage House Antiques and "Good Stuff" shop is one of very few
Antique boutique shops in Crystal Lake, IL. It has been in business for
14 + Years and offers an eclectic collection of Vintage and Antique
items. These items can be used as Indoor and as Outdoor items.
The Carriage House is located in an actual carriage horse and buggy
house. Look for us nestled in back between
the Health Food Store and the Crystal Lake Park District Office, just
East of Walkup Ave. and West of Main Street on Crystal Lake Avenue. In
front of us is a new addition to downtown Crystal Lake, Lizzy Lou's
Boutique.
Parking is available in the lot next to the Health
Food Store.
We look forward to meeting you and hope that we
can become fast friends and provide you with our exciting and beautiful
treasures.
See you very soon.
Karen and Di.

This
Adirondack Chair was donated by Carriage House Antiques to Julie Ann's
frozen custard in order to help celebrate a terrific family event. The
chairs will be displayed at Main Beach.
It’s the 100th Anniversary of the Crystal Lake Park District this year!
To help celebrate, local businesses are decorating themed Adirondack
chairs. Our friends at
Julie Ann’s Frozen
Custard created this one...the chairs will be on display at the Main
Beach May 29-September 10.
Stop by Crystal Lake's Main Beach to view the chairs. After looking at the chairs, stop by Carriage House Antiques and "Good Stuff" to view their collection of Vintage and Antique collectibles. And don't forget to stop by Julie Ann's for a terrific treat.
My
love for vintage began at an early age. It must be in my genes
because my whole family hunts for vintage. My mother was
constantly repurposing items and changing around rooms in our
house. We would "shop" with her during town recycling days. My
Grandpap would "shop" the town dump after working long hours in
the coal mines in Pennsylvania. For me, I "shop" anywhere all
the time for anything vintage. I collect many things but
nothing stirs my heart more than vintage Christmas and vintage
dress forms.
Was
raised in Wood Dale, IL. She married Stuart Callovi in 1964
and moved to Elgin, IL for 4 years and then East Dundee, IL
where she has lived for 52 years and raised a son, Troy. She
retired from Safety Kleen but even while working had a
passion for doing flea markets or renting a booth in Antique
stores to sell her treasures.
From 1989 to 1996 Stuart and she owned a store called Circles of Gold specializing in Jewelry and Baseball Cards in East Dundee, IL Early in 2017 Stuart passed away. At that time we had a booth in Elgin Antiques and Carriage House Antiques.
In late 2017, Joe Cordero asked Sharon to be co-owner of J&S River Antiques and "Things" in East Dundee, IL The shop opened in September 2017 and we remain at Carriage House Antiques in Crystal Lake.
