Always an interesting outing at Rideau Ferry Antiques!

JUNK LOVE DRUNK!
Is life complete without a roadtrip to Rideau Ferry Antiques? This trip I spent some time out in the yard snapping some photos of my favourite rusting junk piles. I'm forever impressed by the organization of "stuff" at this place, and somehow the result always leaves an overwhelming yet  artistic impression on me.

This place is a great spot to find just about anything...be prepared to dig and explore. The outdoor yard spills over with a variety of old and interesting rusted things, the barns (a new one now open) is home to antique and vintage home furnishings,collectables and salvage, while the cupboards and cabinets inside the house are filled to the brim with teacups, china, figurines, linens and more.  There is just too much stuff to even mention!


What I like best about this place:  you take home a few neat treasures at reasonable prices, but also a humbling reminder of the impact of consumption, and where things go when we no longer use them.

As always, we would love to see and hear about your great Rideau Ferry finds and any upcycled projects!
