Linda Marie's Enchanted Treasures, Oro Grande, CA
If you’ve known me for very long, you know that I love vintage. Vintage shopping. Vintage, antiques, collectibles. Vintage magazines. Vintage books. Vintage farms. Re-purposing vintage. Up-cycling vintage. Vintage stories. Vintage, vintage, vintage. New is nice, too. But the nostalgia of a lovely piece, its history, and the fond memories it triggers in my mind of earlier days captivates me.
I’ve had the privilege of meeting many wonderful people in the High Desert who also love vintage, antiques, and collectibles. Several of these individuals also have an appreciation for vintage things and are entrepreneurs. Let me introduce you to some entrepreneurs. To shop at their stores, visit the links provided below.

I love vintage as well…It seems things are more interesting with some kind of a past to them. I have to visit some of those stores soon…Thanks Angie…
I visited Linda Marie’s Treasures and Smoke Tree Junction…. great way to walk down Memory Lane plus pick up some great treasures….I especially like the old sink creation that High Desert Greg made using the old metal desk and high back chair…it is perfect sitting next to our creative ranch “Out House” with gorgeous Marigolds planted in it! Love Vintage and Up-Cycling/Re-Purposing!
Smoketree Junction has their Flea Market next Saturday. It’s always the first Saturday of the month. Reserve a spot before Saturday and save a little $$.
