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 [...]

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 [...]

I am sure you, my loyal reader(s), have been anxiously awaiting the return of Tandem Antiques and Design blogging.  Well, the wait is over!  Thanks to some excellent technical help we are back in the photo uploading game.  In all seriousness, I have found a web designer who has repaired my glitches and is currently [...]

 
I know, I know.  The Coolest is supposed to run on Monday.  I can’t explain it – I lost almost a week in here somewhere.  However I will try to make it up to you by sharing the best piece of industrial furniture we have found in quite a while.
