Photo by Trevor Tondro for The New York Times
I read Joyce Wadler's feature on us.
I laughed! I cried!
I didn't recognize my life. It's different when you're cleaning the coop.
Trevor Tondro's photographs are...beyond words. Spellbinding.
I just left him alone and he waved his magic wand of a camera.
Please have a look at the story!
In the Catskills, Comfort in a Gingerbread House
I'm delighted the Times mentioned a few of my pretty handmade wares
from talented artists. Though I gave names and links for everything in sight,
not everything made it in (including the URL for my blog)!
Today, someone asked how to ‘get the look’.
The short answer: buy handmade, buy salvage.
Here is a complete listing:
Vintage-inspired printed paper book covers under the mirror
and wallpaper painting in the loft – artist Beth Neumann of Tattered Vintage
Pink sachet with silk roses and rhinestone brooch – Roberta Comeau,
Whispers From the Past. No web presence but I can put you in touch with her.
Demi-lune table under mirror – Andes Antiques & Art,
173 Main Street, Andes, NY 13731 845-676-3420
Email: popperartsy2@aol.com
Oval mirror over mantel – Vintage Chic
Architectural inspiration – Driving around the Catskills,
and the Tumbleweed Tiny House Company
The Small House Society
Miscellaneous: My handmade linen dress was $2 at a yard sale,
my pink wellies were $30 on clearance at Tractor Supply,
$2/yard Wal-Mart lace graces the loft,
and I made ZuZu’s hair bows out of wired organza ribbon from Michael’s.
Obviously, we have excellent yard sales in the Delhi-Bovina-Andes area.
