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 [...]

Does anyone else feel this way, or is it just me?
I love lamps and lighting of all kinds.  I understand the impact that the right shade can have, and the damage that can be done to good design with the wrong shade.  I get all that.
Often, when I see a lamp with a shade on [...]

Steven spent yesterday in the shop, and remembered to take the camera with him!  Yay!  As always, this is in no way meant to represent our entire inventory.  Its just the things that took his fancy as he walked around.  Some of these items are ours and some belong to our partners in the shop.  [...]

This is a story about a pitcher, a vase, and how Steven and I learn new things.
Years ago – 7 or 8 I think – we picked up this funky blue ceramic pitcher.  We thought it was kind of cool, and kind of gross, and probably damaged (had it been in a fire? we wondered)  [...]

Sshhh…  Can you keep a secret?  You can?  Great.
Steve and I are in North Carolina, visiting my mom.  We will be driving home in a couple of days, and we will travel the whole 750 miles with a gigantic “H” tied to the roof rack.  How cool is that??
While we were down here for the [...]

The answer is: a lot!  Here are some pictures I took in the shop the other week, before the holiday tidal wave completely overtook me.  They don’t come close to capturing the range of merch available, they were just the ones that caught my eye as I wandered around with the camera.  Enjoy!

I love this [...]

Well, we made it through the Christmas hustle and bustle.  Only a few bumps and bruises to show for it, and some lovely family memories that make all the work worthwhile.  Now here we are — Dec. 26, 2009.  Tomorrow Steven, the kids and I will head south on our annual post-Christmas pilgrimage to Grandma’s [...]

Last year at this time, Sam Pratt (writer, community activist, all-around mover & shaker) put together a fun shopping guide for Hudson NY called Hudson Under $100.  The dollar distinction is important because many people have the impression that the antique and retail stores in Hudson are very high-end, intended for and attainable by decorators, [...]

I have come to a realization, which is:  It has been a long time since we did an antiques show for the first time.  A long time since we were the “newbies” at a venue — we’ve been doing the same shows for years!  But next week we will be setting up at The Albany [...]

I took my camera to the shop yesterday.  I always intend to bring it, but rarely actually remember to do so.  I didn’t do anything fancy, but just walked around with the camera in my hand, and took pictures as items caught my eye – whether it was capturing a whole object, or just a [...]
