We are getting organized to travel home from North Carolina.  I took a break from packing and took a bunch of pictures of the antiques we bought while we were here.  We found some wonderful things (in addition to the giant H of the last post) including mid-century lamps, Blenko glass, cool industrial, mercury glass, [...]

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 [...]

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, [...]

You know those amazing European grain sacks and homespuns that have been appearing in magazines this year, reinvented as pillow covers and re-upholstered wing chairs?  Well I finally got my hands on some!  And these fabrics are every bit as pleasing and tactile as I thought they would be.
Our good friend Mary moved to [...]

Steven and I did the Fall Schoharie Antiques Show this past weekend, in Schoharie NY.  (That’s sko-hair-ee.  I was confused at first too.)  This is the counterpart to the show we do there in March, and also sponsored by the Schoharie County Historical Association.  This is also one of the two shows we do each [...]

The new merch we bought yesterday is everywhere!  This is my life – we go out and fill the van, but then we’re too busy or exhausted to unload it.  Then the next morning Steve has to rush off to the shop in Hudson so anything that isn’t going directly there ends up on the [...]

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 [...]

 
Sounds heavy, doesn’t it?  It is, kind of.  This last week has been weird, because my attention has been focused on this blog, but I haven’t been able to produce anything.  I have come up with a substantial list of posts I want to write — all, of course, heavily dependent on images that I can’t [...]

I just want to keep all my loyal readers (yup, all three of you!) in the loop here.  I have not given up on this site, nor am I just being slack.  I am having serious technical problems!  Probably due to some software conflict or other, I cannot upload any photos to this blog.
What, I ask you, [...]

 
Steve said I should title this post “No Rest for the Weary.”  Life has been non-stop since we did the Round Lake Antiques Fest last weekend.  We had a great show.  I came back with pictures to share and stories to tell, and I have barely had a chance to sit down since then.  I [...]
