I’ve alluded before to the fact that we love dog things – paintings, figures, folk art.  So I’m thinking it would be fun to feature one of our dogs here on the blog each week.  (A blog dog — say that 3 times fast!) It will be interesting to see how many weeks it will [...]

Our friends Bobby & Janet Sherwood and David & Bonnie Ferriss, who together run Antiques at 30B in Cambridge NY, will also be exhibiting at The Albany Show next week.  They collectively have a terrific eye for early and interesting antiques.  They carry fabulous cupboards, tables and other bigs – one of my favorite items [...]

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 [...]

We spent most of last week in Brimfield MA, at the gi-normous thrice annual Brimfield antiques fair, a conglomeration of a dozen or so different antique shows held in dusty close proximity on Rt. 20 in this little town.  I shopped the Tuesday shows and then we set up and sold on Wednesday, at Hertan’s field.  The [...]

 
I have been working on the online shop that is attached to this blog for a while, and it is still a distance from my ultimate vision for it.  But the time has come to make it official.  We are celebrating our Grand Opening during March and April – and ringing it in with deals for [...]

Steve and I worked all day yesterday on a new business card design for TA&D.  But in the end we could not agree on just one, so we decided to make three!  It will be fun to mix them up in a stack so that different ones appear as the top one is taken. 
From a [...]

 
Steven and I just can’t own enough dogs.  Really.
But before you begin imagining the noise and confusion, the giant bags of dogfood, the shedding…let me clarify.  We do love dogs – the real, living kind – and we have one that we adore.  (check our Personal page for pics of our Princess.)  But the kind of dog [...]

 
Steve spent today in the shop in Hudson (Warren Street Antiques), and took in some interesting new items.  Sadly he did not take the camera so I have no pictures tonight, but I will be back there on Monday, so…  
We added some industrial light fixtures (a set of five), a great double shutter painted green, a cool long [...]

 
Steven and I did the Cooperstown Antiques Show at Wood Bull field on Sunday.  The weather (always the hottest topic of discussion at any outdoor show – no pun intended) was terrific — quite hot, but NO RAIN. 
This is one of two shows we do each year with Steve’s parents, Deb and Carl Eklund.  They have [...]

This past weekend we were set up at the Round Lake Antiques Fest in Round Lake NY, near Saratoga.  This is one of our very favorite shows of the year – for lots of reasons!  Its a great show in a truly picturesque little Victorian village – it couldn’t be a more charming setting.  And [...]
