I am proud to have Pam Sloan doing chair seat repair and upholstery at the Tin Can Trading Post. She works primarily in rush, cane, wicker and other traditional and natural materials as well as doing upholstery.I gave Pam work space in my shop and a venue for her to exhibit her work and take commissions. She is usually here on Sundays and when the Farmer's Market is in season she works out front

Found in a barn in PA. I followed a tip from one of my pickers and scored 8 of these. Very good condition wicker upholstery, cushioned and on a formed steel base with mounting holes. 35 1/2" X 16 1/2" and 3" high. They were made around 1926 and were in use until the 1960's on NYC trolley, bus or subway lines. These look very lightly used and were in storage for many years. Heavy durable lacquered

Local activist and actor Mark Ruffalo came by the shop yesterday. Having just gotten a new record player he was excited to stock his library with some excellent and rare vinyl. He scored Velvet Underground and Nico - Banana Peel cover and the Stones "Stickey Fingers" album with the jeans and zipper cover. Both covers are by Andy Warhol. His tastes varied, Callas, Joni Mitchell, Led Zeppelin,

Cochecton was a thriving town in the 18th and 19th centuries. Sitting at the point where the bridge connects NY and Damascus PA.It's Main St. and adjacent roads were filled with merchants and hotels all serving the rail travelers heading north or to local destinations. The original RR station is preserved but moved to a new location a few miles north.There is still a feed mill in town adjacent to

A while back I posted about 3 posters I have (swiped) from backstage at Winterland during the Pistols last show. For years I had been looking for any photo that showed the scene and the posters. A sweet fellow in Japan named Dai Ando sent me this Getty image a few weeks ago. http://daiando.blogspot.com/I thank him again.Funny thing is I had a 20 year career in the creative end of the stock photo

Hi - Sorry for the pause in postings. Ive been busy moving into a converted barn from 1840 in the river side town of Callicoon NY. After years of fighting the elements selling outdoors - I took the leap and signed a lease on a big duplex space. Enough room for merchandise, a workroom and even a nap spot for me and my dog Bella. How exciting. How Exhausting.In addition to my own wares, I'm taking

I spent the morning on one of my favorite routes in NE Pennsylvania, hitting charity shops, thrift stores and ending at my reliable Tuesday afternoon box lot auction. With patience, a sharp eye and some digging around I can usually find a few things of interest. It's fun to come home and do "display" with my new finds. The mirror is something I found in a charity shop this morning.The shoes

I shot these for the Brooklyn Flea Vendor listings on their web site. It was composed in a few seconds with items at hand. The light was great, but lasted only a moment or two.The Airstream is a cast model I got at Pottery Barn about a decade or more ago?The "wrestlers" are by Lafayette L.

I chatted with Guy Trebay during the weekend I was at the Brooklyn Flea for the super DJ record fair. He is a regular there and covers it often for the Times. He is a witty, wry and intelligent observer of today's social mores and trends.I had brought down a lot of stuff from the 80's music, art, fashion, and cultural scenes. Basically old clothes, old records, ACT UP and AREA tee shirts, club

I hope to see you all this Thanksgiving weekend at the "Gifted" pop-up shop in the old Tower Video space at Lafayette and Fourth St. NYC.I am only doing the first weekend (Nov. 27, 28, 29) and that is probably my last big show before Christmas unless I get a second wind and book into an indoor weekend market.I have lots of things I wouldn't mind seeing under my own tree this year, and will try to

I've been trying to get ahead of the rain, which is becoming another standard weekend event this fall, by moving indoors whenever possible. At the Tincan Trading Post upstate - I will be having an indoor tag sale of Holiday Kitchen and Tablewares along with the usual array of great furniture, objects and household goods. Lots of cool stuff for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner table settings and

I just spent a week in Brooklyn (in Bensonhurst where I grew up and spent my life trying to get away from) tending to family matters.While there, I rented a booth at the famous Brooklyn Flea in Ft. Greene. I had resisted shleeping stuff into the city since opening the Tincan Trading Post up here, in my beautiful trailers. But after a completely rained out summer, I needed a new venue (with lots

It was 50 degrees this morning and chilly now. I need a warm sweaty night. With the rain and cool weather - this has been a rough summer.It is still super pretty up here - but foggy mornings and wet wet weekends loose their charm after a while.So I guess a wrought iron fire pit with a Mexican type tile surround makes perfect sense, even in mid-summer. This is the perfect size for a terrace or

A slight change of plans this week.Saturday the 18th we'll have a vendor space at theSullivan County Bicentennial fair and regatta on beautiful Lake Huntington.This area is deep in history going back to early settlers and the native Indian conflicts as well as commerce and industry that grew along rivers in Colonial America.Our home base is on the Delaware river facing Pennsylvania.______________

It always amazes me what's out there.Yesterday it was a pair of Edison Mazda light bulbs (c. 1920 -30) both in exquisite wire bulb cages. Each wire cage is unique. One bulb still has a label.And I wasn't even shopping - just stopped by a fellow trader's to say hi!I had been craving these type bulb cages recently.I love the combination of hand work and early ready made materials for utilitarian
