Hello! My name is Jayne. I am the owner and operator of Chicago Road Antiques and this is my story. I started my career in retail at an early age. I had many businesses out by the road selling rocks and shells. Not much has changed. I am still selling things out by the road! I went to college and majored in business with a little art thrown in for fun. I had my first booth in the 1980's and sold many original painting projects. In 1992, I started my first antique booth with my darling mother. We cleaned out our cupboards to come up the our beginning inventory. I had a lot of fun in several antique malls for many years, but always yearned for my own store. In 2005, my favorite building in Edwardsburg, Michigan had a for sale sign in front. It was meant to be. I have been having a great time searching for treasure and creating charms, necklaces, cards and candles ever since. In 2009, my dear Aunt Mary joined me. So now we are two. She has been an antique dealer for over 10 years now and has a great eye for charming and cute.
