My Favorite Part

Authentic, found, happened-upon rusty goodness!

  In the hustle and grind of finding, hauling, cleaning, repairing, sharing...amazing junk, I'm reminded of why I love doing what we do:  amazing places in unlikely locations and collected treasures are a story all on their own, but what really fills my heart with love for this stuff?  People.  Listening to people talk about the hows, wheres and whys of their "junk".  When you listen to someone and watch them tell their own stories, you can't help but be inspired.  Old stuff, crazy Collectors and my patient, quiet state-of-mind (seriously, patience & quiet do not come easy for me. lol) is the perfect combination for renewing my creative energy.
   Now, where the heck did I put that paintbrush?

Liberty Arts Festival Today

Liberty Arts Festival is today and we'll be over at the Creators' Village helping the kids get creative. This is a free event in Morris, IL. 

It's Fall Y'all!!

Fall is officially here and we're celebrating in Grundy County, Morris, IL.  We have been bringing all of our vintage and antique fun finds into True North.  So while you're enjoying your time at the Festival, snacking on corn, petting the animals, going for a spin at the carnival, getting your groove on with one of the many scheduled live band performances, you can also stop in and find something cool to bring home with you.  Small business owners and store vendors, such as ourselves, put in a lot of effort to make sure you enjoy your visit to Morris, IL.  Come check it out!
