How did you get into the business? What were you doing before you opened the store, and what inspired you to open it?
I spent a lot of time in antique shops as a kid, and have always been interested in old things. I also happened to go to a tiny college in part  nike shox nz 2.0 of rural Ohio that's famed for antique hunting. When I moved to New York eight years ago, I missed antiquing, and thought about opening a shop of my own. But before I did, I worked for several years doing various unrelated things, and started collecting inventory in my spare time.
Why Red Hook?
When I opened in 2006, Red Hook felt like a sleepy upstate town—the kind of place where you might stumble upon a great old antique shop full of dusty treasures. I liked the idea of opening in a place where you didn't really expect to find a store. And the neighborhood has a great history and aesthetic.
Where you find your pieces? Antique shows? Estate sales? How much of your time do you spend hunting for artifacts as opposed to managing the shop?
Finding inventory is definitely more than half the battle. I usually make one trip out of the city every week to do some buying in more remote places. But I also spend at least a day each week buying right in the city. The great thing about hottest mens underwear   New York is that people are from everywhere, and have been bringing things here for centuries. But also, some of the best early Deco jewelry was made right here in New York on Maiden Lane, and much of it still remains. We've been in business long enough now, that people come to us with things—usually jewelry they've inherited and don't need or want, or collections that they're selling.
