Antique Store Find- Bad Ass Mirror At Main Street Art And Antiques

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

After chowing down crabcakes benedict at Sugar Mags yesterday morning I strolled through Main Street Art and Antiques.  I like rolling through there if for no other reason than to listen to the Sinatra vinyl they are spinning in the back part of the store.

I spied this bad ass mirror sitting there waiting for the taking.  It’s a beauty.

Bubbles on Main Street always has an inexpensive bauble or two ready for purchase for a gift of appreciation.  Trish also keeps longer hours than most Downtown retailers which is convenient if you are in need of a cocktail party present or gift without the hassle of having to run up the line. she also sells and has a coupon in the Where The Locals Go coupon book.

It means dragon. I dig the colors but could never bring myself to get a tattoo in that location.

What are the odds that Joe regrets getting it done on his neck in 30 years or so?

Susie is a fisherman.  She loves fishing.  Recently she signed on to fish with Johnny “Doc” Herrick aboard The Dog and I.  Johnny said that he’s never had a back man push him to fish harder than Susie has pushed him.  She just loves being out there.

She also loves working with fused glass.

Here are some of her pieces (as always you can click on any picture and select “all sizes” to see the picture full sized and in greater detail)

Susie Byrd the woman who we consider one of the best back men in the business makes incredible art by fusing glass together.  I don’t know exactly how it works but the results are visually stunning.
