We go on a lot of antiquing trips mostly around the east coast. Sometimes we take photos of things we see along the way and thought it would be fun to share some photos with you here each week.

This week it’s a creepy barn full of deer antlers, a citrus fruit stand where you can buy boxes of tangelos and a place called crazy ed’s candy outlet.

we will miss you. but fresh cooler air, back-to-school,
pumpkins, apple picking, and fall colored leaves sound nice too.

gift_message sometimes we send out gift notes for customers when they purchase gifts from our shop. this one is my favorite. i thought it was pretty good advice and i copied it and taped it up on the wall of our shipping room.

A photo documentary of storefronts from small family run businesses throughout New York City. Clic Gallery is currently exhibiting this amazing photograph collection by James and Karla Murray now till August 30th. We hope that one day when Three Potato Four opens up a storefront it will look and feel as mom-and-pop, well-loved and worn as these do.
