Here are some fun pictures we took at our shop, Warren Street Antiques in Hudson NY, recently.  Enjoy!

Here is a shot of half the window, complete with distracting reflections.

Kindergarten table, teeter-totter, what more could you want?

Interesting mold for what?  We don’t know.

Fun stuff – great old window, cool yellow stool.

Tall plant stand, funky trangular stool, [...]

One of the neatest things we have found lately is this antique lidded tea box that someone hand painted all around with hunt scenes.  It still retains its brass hardware, and it is a charming piece for the horse or hunt collector.
The surface, however, is somewhat delicate – you wouldn’t want to put a glass [...]

My unplanned and where-the-hell-did-the-last-month-go blog hiatus is over.  I declare it to be so.

Steve and I were in our shop in Hudson yesterday and took a bunch of pictures.  I know how much you guys enjoy our photo expeditions of Warren Street Antiques, so look for a complete one in a day or two.  In [...]

Leave it to me to feature a number for my first Love Letter post.  I’m just rebellious that way.
But I could not resist the bold charm of this handmade print block.  It’s big and chunky — whatever they were selling for $1, they didn’t want it to be overlooked!

I bought this terrific little carved dog plaque at the Round Lake Antique Show a couple of years ago. I saw him in the showcase of a dealer that I know – a really nice guy who always has an interesting, high-quality small items. I spotted him on Friday, as we were all [...]

Once again, Steve took the camera to the shop last week, and took a bunch of pictures for you.  He snapped Tandem discoveries as well as great stuff from our shop partners Tom Jardas, New Scotland Antiques and Metropolis.  It’s a random assortment, and (as always) not representative of everything there is to see at [...]

Did you know that the days of the month in 1915 and 2010 are the same?  See – today is Sunday Feb. 28, and the 28th of Feb. in 1915 was Sunday too.  It’s the little things that make me happy.

Last year Steven’s dad bought a bunch of great old paper (early automobile advertising, catalogs, [...]
