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 [...]

The camera went to Hudson on Sunday, and took me with it.  Together we found all kinds of interesting things.  Want to see?

And then it was time to go.  As much as I enjoy taking these pictures for you, I would like it much better if you came to visit the shop yourself!  You never [...]

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)  [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
