Antiquing My Way Through Michiana
See All Lists
1. Beardsley Avenue Antique Mall
The real name seems to be Antiques on Beardsley
This was my favorite stop on our antiquing trip. I have a huge crush on Antiques on Beardsley.
There are many dealers so plan spending some time walking through. Furniture, knick-knacks, artwork,…More »
2. Hearts Desire Cafe
*Disclaimer*
There is a post office and cafe (wasn't open when we were there) in this antique store. You will see people darting in to make a bee-line for the post office. I only talked to one of these people thinking it was someone in my group...

3. Iron Lace Antiques
Iron Lace was not on our agenda but a neighbor recommended we go when stopping at her yard sale. Boy, are we glad we did.
The owner was so friendly and even opened 10 minutes early on a Saturday (opens at 10am). She stores her antiques in a large…More »
4. Elkhart Antique Mall
Two floors with many dealers. This was the first stop of our antiquing trip and what a great way to start. Artwork, collectibles, furniture, etc.--there is some good stuff here. I would plan to spend at least an hour walking through all the rooms.

5. The Chubby Trout
When in Elkhart, dine here. Decent selection of draft beers--Founders, Oberon, New Belgium and more. The menu includes burgers, steaks, seafood, and --- sushi, which was a little weird for me.
We tried the lobster pasta special, walleye, and trout.…More »
6. Four Flags Antique Mall
Two floors with the second floor heavy on crafts.There are many dealers selling furniture, décor, clothing, etc. Plan to spend at least an hour browsing.

7. Microtel Inn and Suites
Elkhart, IN 46514
(574) 970-0420
Things I wanted from a hotel during this trip 1) Cleanliness (I don't want to see trash left from previous occupants, random hairs, etc. 2) The best bang for my buck.
I was happy at Microtel Inn & Suites. For $75/night it was one of the best deals I…More »
8. Unique Antique Mall
We did not have Unique on our agenda but saw their sign and stopped (more like put on the brakes and turned around).
This store was heavy on the collectibles but there are crafts and antiques mixed in as well. According to my receipt they buy and…More »
9. Riverfront Cafe
Riverfront was charming and located in downtown Niles. Outdoor seating is available but we opted for the air conditioning.
Soup, salad, and sandwiches were on the lunch menu. The best item we tasted was the crab soup. The bad storms the night before…More »
10. Antique Avenue Mall

I thought of giving Antique Avenue Mall just two stars because it is on the expensive side (bargain hunter here!) but they did have some high quality stuff.
I was looking at wall clocks and the prices seemed to range from $275-$2,000+. If you want…More »
11. Main Street Antique Mall
Main Street Antique Mall seems to be geared to those heavy on the antique collecting as opposed to those wanting to buy nice-looking pieces to use and be "green." I thought many of the items were overpriced but then again I was buying items to use…More »
