Pretty Is As Pretty Does
Posted in Events on November 14th, 2009 by Stephanie – Be the first to commentNothing makes a French daybed as pretty as a cushy French-hand-rolled mattress.
The addition of some grain sack pillows makes it just perfect.
The daybed below is newly dressed in a vintage French sheet of fabulous
heavy linen with embroidered initials.
Both daybeds are in the Hudson Supermarket, Hudson, NY if a catnap
is needed.
Who wants a giant bag of candy?
Posted in Events on November 12th, 2009 by Stephanie – Be the first to commentLast year at Christmas time I filled big bowls with candy. The good
kind. None of that awful hard candy that no one wants! I had them
all around my space in the Bournebrook Antique Center. Believe it
or not, 40 pounds of candy disappeared in three days. Now I know
why people put out the hard candy. It lasts forever!
My friend, Denis, and me… before we knew the candy wouldn’t last till
Christmas.
What Are They?

Above, a late 1700’s French boot scraper. Prongs at the back were
imbedded in the wall. The decorative points faced down and the boots
were scraped across the top.
And a late 1700’s English version.
Look how a few hundred years of boot cleaning has worn down the iron.
See them up close at Hudson Supermarket in Hudson, NY.
What A Pair !

A matching pair of vintage chairs. Some beautiful linen and down. Two fabulous old
grain sacks……not from the same farm, but so what? They work so well together. I
can see them on either side of a fireplace….or a Plymouth truck grill.
Grain Sacks Go To Hudson
Posted in Events on October 9th, 2009 by Stephanie – Be the first to commentWe completed our move to Hudson Supermarket Antiques, Hudson, NY, this
week and are so happy with our space and the store.
We have our usual mix of industrial, mercantile, upholstered pieces, country and,
of course, grain sacks!
We brought a 10′6″ dining table that is already getting good use in the cafe area
where delicious lunches, fresh-squeezed limeade and cupcakes are the order of
the day.
If you are in the area, please stop and take a look.
