I am fortunate that I was driving by (on my first visit to Dixon!) and noticed the vintage and rusting metal "stuff" piled outside this shop. It was so tempting I had to stop!
Well gosh, you need to too! The store is several rooms chocked full of true antiques, plus lots of interesting vintage items, and even an area with (new) amazing candles.
Apparently Suzanne, the friendly and charming owner, got the collecting bug from her father. This store is in part, a tribute and honor to him (check out the framed newspaper article by the cash register). Suzanne is delightful and I found the prices extremely fair.
While I needed, planned on nothing, I went home with several items. The gorgeous stained glass lampshade was (OMG OMG) only $12.00! And instead of looking for a lamp based, I decided to simply display as a 'bowl'.
Suzanne, you will definitely be seeing me on my next trip to Dixon. And to everyone reading this, you do want to check out Rusted Relics. You will enjoy exploring all the treasures and be supporting a local business. read more
