I drag my attention away from a City Confidential on Roku TV to make a Wrist to Forehead Sunday post. Most of the Mohawk Valley seems to be iced it. I tried to shovel a layer off the driveway while sleet fell on me, laughing at my efforts. At least somebody was feeling jolly. There is no need to dwell on these things. I wanted to give a quick shout-out to Mohawk Antiques Mall, one of my favorite spots, which I visited a few days previously.
I had not stopped there in a while. Full disclosure: I mostly stopped because I was pretty sure they would have a current issue of Mohawk Valley Living magazine. I do not know how much longer I will be writing for them, but I had a nice story in February’s issue about Back In Time: Collectibles Plus Crafts in Richfield Springs, NY (not to self: make a post about them soon!). After picking up the magazine, I walked over the whole store, hoping something would tempt me to buy.
I’m sure I need a hat like that.
Further disclosure: I have to watch my money these days, and I have pretty much zero space in my house to put cool things found at antique stores. I took a picture at a new vendor. That is, new to me. I think I mentioned I had not been there in a while. One great thing about these antique malls: you can visit again and again and almost always see something new.
Ooh, those are nice!
Another vendor caught my eye, and I thought it was clearly a local artist. I quickly saw that this was indeed the case.
I LOVE local art!
In fact, I follow Chickadee Hollow Studio on Facebook (I follow lots of local places I haven’t been to yet), so I was delighted to see some of their stuff. I’m afraid my pictures are a little blurry. I must go and get better pictures. And make more space in my house so I can purchase something!
Mohawk Antiques Mall is located at 100 E. Main St., Mohawk, NY, phone number 315-219-5044.
