The other day Steven and I went to Cooperstown to hang out with our old friend Bob Graham.  He is an antiques dealer and lighting designer, and I wrote about him here last year.  We delivered some merchandise that Bob bought from us after seeing it here on TA&D (ah, it’s working!)  Our afternoon together was great fun, with lots of stories that started with, “One time I stopped at this flea market, and…”

Alex and Ika’s, across the intersection on Main Street, is where we had lunch.  Wow, give me any excuse to eat there again!  Fabulous, tasty, interesting food in a cozy little setting.

I took some pictures in Bob’s gorgeous shop, and talked to him about doing an interview here on my blog sometime soon.  He graciously agreed, so now I have to work up some intelligent-sounding questions.  He doesn’t know that I’ve never done this before, so don’t tell.

Remember that great modern magazine rack with glass sides that we picked up in North Carolina?  Here it is in its new environs, holding an appropriate publication:

Stay tuned for more here on Bob Graham, and in the meantime check out  his fabulous inventory on VandM.
