People ask me all the time how I choose what to buy for my store. There are always
certain pieces that sell well for me: cupboards, tables, daybeds and interesting
accessories. But why this old wooden industrial drum?

Thursday is always a good day, not just because we bring new stuff to our space in
the Hudson Supermarket, but because we eat! There is a cafe right in the back of
the store and Chris, the chef, is incredible.
This time, blue and silver run throughout our space.
And, as always, grain sacks.
The metal shelving unit in the window (mixed with reflections of buildings and
cars) has perfect proportions and patina.
Blue is popular right now. Nice for me, since it has always been my favorite
color.
More perfection, at least to my eye, in the finish on this Philadelphia workbench.
Sometimes, a table in natural wood is ok, especially if the legs are so beautiful !
This is the third blue cupboard with glass doors I have had here this month.
People must like glass doors right now as much as they like blue. Great food
and the blues. I can’t think of anything better…

Early last week, we went to see a picker in the Adirondacks
who had called us about a table with beefy legs and a work bench
that he thought we would like. We took the long way (no highways
allowed!) which took us past so many old Greek Revivals, barns
and churches in various states of repair. We passed through
Saratoga and Lake George with no complaints. The picker’s house is
high on a hill in the woods. Here are five things we saw in the tall
grass…
The beefy table!
The workbench!
The snake!
Another workbench sitting on his truck!
A chops-licking kitty! Where did that snake go?
We only brought home three of out the five things we saw. While we
greatly admired the other two, it seemed best to let them stay behind
in their Adirondack home.
