This is a boutique antique in downtown Sun Prairie and a great little find in itself. The owner Cindy was absolutely lovely and very welcoming and fun to talk to. The Wire Basket has little trinkets, glassware, Wisconsin crafts, greeting cards, and more. I even found a custard glass uranium bowl and an amberina pitcher. If you are doing an antique day or you are in Sunny P, go visit this spot and stop at the boutique across the way. read more

Ooooo! This store is soooo much fun! It's a hodgepodge of antique, vintage, and thrift. My shopping companion and I were all googly eyed through out the entire store. We were careful to examine every inch, sometimes more than twice. Darn good prices on lots of interesting items, some of which made me think of my childhood, and others that had me imagining perhaps what my Granny wore in the 40s. If you like going back in time, this is a fun stop to add to your list! They are located in the building that previously housed Papa Johns, across the street from McGoverns. read more

From the Business

Specialties

The Wire Basket provides vintage finds, antique treasures, and local products to it's customers. We strive to help each and every person who walks through our doors find exactly what they've been looking for.

History

Established in 2015.

An interest in antiques and the memories associated with finding old treasures was always a part of our lives. One day, we realized that instead of just looking for ourselves, we could share this fun hobby with others! We started finding and collecting treasures that others would love just as much as us, and the rest is history. Or, as we would say, antique! We started on West Main Street, and recently made our way to East Main in downtown Sun Prairie!

Meet the Business Owner: Cindy S.

Cindy has always had a love for antiques, hunting for new and interesting items, and giving vintage items a new home. She turned that love into a store, giving others the opportunity to join in on the fun!

Paid my $5 admission and had to go to the restroom... expecting to see port-a-potties, I was happy to see a big sign indicating the orange building were restrooms. Easily spotted up ahead, indoor plumbing, clean with plenty of stalls and multiple spots to wash hands. For an outdoor venue, this made me quite happy. There are vendors galore at the flea market and something for everyone. Arrive early for the best finds and to be sure you have time to see everything because there are so many items on display. Many vendors are open to making a deal even! A few food vendors on site as well in case you get hungry for breakfast, lunch, snack or beverages but I'd like to see more options in the future. Bring cash although there are a few who accept Venmo, just don't count on it. Otherwise, it's a great place to spend a few hours and find things you may or may not know you needed!

Love checking out the Elkhorn Antique Flea Market anytime I can…read more There is a great collection of vendors, regardless of what you are looking to find. You can pay extra for early bird entry, otherwise the gates open at 7a for general admission. They have a few food vendors but could work to get a couple more on site, especially if you are planning to spend all day there. I've been coming here for a number of years and love meandering through all the booths.
