2024 Mid-Year Update

Life goes on here in Poplar Ridge. Selling goes on. Still finding joy in the small things and trying to steer clear of the drama. 

I'm moving inventory off of my shopdinosaurdrygoods.com website as there are technical difficulties that probably won't be solved by the host and I expect the service to fade away soon. Sometimes I think I am the only one using Pattern by Etsy. 

I'll still keep goods on Etsy. The clothes will in my eBay store and on Poshmark, while a pricey venue for sellers, is probably worth the cost in the long run. EBay is well...just eBay...with it's ups and downs. There is no denying that is still where the shoppers go first. 

 Meanwhile, the studio-store in Poplar Ridge is stuffed full and open by appointment for intrepid shoppers. These days it may be more of a warehouse. I am selling at the fabulous Grain Bin Market at the Trumansburg Fairgrounds on the first Sunday of each month May-Oct. I'm in the long building. So nice to be sheltered and in a space with so many fun vendors. I also still have a glass case at Found in Ithaca. Ask for dealer #1710 if you are looking for my stuff. 

Locally, we are living through the closing of Wells College in Aurora, my alma mater, former employer, former employer of my spouse, and daughter's alma mater. We were all in until we weren't. I shake my head and hope that someone sees the value of the beautiful site and turns it into something wonderful for its next life. Our family began there and grew up there, tromping through the buildings, cheering on the sports teams, attending cultural events. 

Be well, come visit, browse the on-line stores.

Quilts to Clothes to Collectibles

 

The summer is flying! The Flax clothing supply is radically abundant at this point. I'm listing it as fast as I can at www.shopdinosaurdrygoods.com but you can certainly stop in and rummage in the incoming bins to get first dibs. You do need to call first to make sure I am here or to make an appointment. I've taken on extra duties at the local ambulance but luckily the station is just around the corner and I can usually run home quickly to accommodate shoppers. And the quilt squares in the picture? Those are sweet miniatures from the 1800s that a quilt expert pulled out of my quilt-piece-drawer yesterday. She was shopping for Flax but took a break to give me a fantastic short lecture on old fabrics and quilt designs. Yes, I do sell the quilt pieces. It's a treasure trove! Quilters in town for Quilting-by-the-Lake? You would have a ball here.

Finally A Flea! The Grain Bin Market

 

We couldn't be more thrilled that a big, bold vintage market is starting up in Tompkins County! We have missed the Found Flea which went on hiatus during Covid. I think you'll see most of the usual vendors at this excellent location on the fairgrounds in T-burg. There will be plentiful parking and indoor and outdoor vendors. Dinosaur Dry Goods will be there with a huge assortment of Flax, vintage clothing and accessories, collectibles, ephemera...whatever we can fit in the fan!

Mid-Winter Update

 

Just imagine the little folks who played and danced in these shoes!

We are up to the usual here at DDG: sorting, steaming, sifting, listing, selling. The studio shop in Poplar Ridge is open by appointment or chance for the winter. I'm here more often than not, so do reach out if you'd like to stop in. Clothes are listed on eBay, Etsy, Poshmark and shopdinosaurdrygoods.com. Etsy and eBay get the other stuff: art, collectibles, jewelry, etc. You can't appreciate the variety until you've visited in person. We hear there is a flea market starting up again in the Ithaca area in May. You bet we will be there!

Finally Jacket Weather!

 

I've been waiting to throw on some layers! Linen is perfect for starting the day with multiple pieces and then shedding some when (if) it warms up in the afternoon. All DDG venues are well-stocked with Flax, Blue Fish, Cynthia Ashby, Match Point, La Fixsun and more. Flax generally lists in the Etsy shop and on www.shopdinosaurdrygoods.com. Blue Fish, Cynthia Ashby, Match Point and La Fixsun are usually on eBay. Poshmark is potluck :-) Check them all out. And don't forget, you can always come to Poplar Ridge to shop in person at the studio-store. Just contact me for an appointment.
