Hello. Good to be back.

You may have seen our blogs were down for a few days, but it looks like we’re back in business.

Thanks so much for your patience — and for coming back.

I was disappointed not to be able to share something with you last week, but as the old saying goes “better late than never.”

See, there’s a great new shop in Tarrytown that I stopped by Thursday morning. I had been planning to give you all a sneak peek before the weekend’s grand opening… but that was not to be.

But, it’s still early days (the shop only opened Saturday), so these pictures still tell the story of a place you’ll certainly want to make time to visit.

It’s Pretty Funny Antiques, where I visited while owner Stephanie Leggio was putting on the final touches.

If you’re thinking the name Pretty Funny, or even Leggio, are familiar, you’re right.

I’ve featured Leggio here before — and also written about Pretty Funny for The Journal News.

The story was part of one we did in late spring on “pocket shops,” small retail gems that make a big impact on their customers.

Leggio’s Pretty Funny was in a slip of a space on Main Street (also in Tarrytown), a treasure trove of costume jewelry, vintage accessories, folk art (and some surprises).

When I did that story, Leggio was telling me she had downsized to the little shop, having had a larger space in the village for a long time. While she was still using that space a few times a year to host big sales, for the most part, she had turned her attention to all things small.

Which meant no more lifting heavy furniture and the like.

“I decided I’m going to be lifting rings and lifting bracelets,” she told me.

Well, I called her on that when I was walking through her new, two-floor space (the same one where she held those big sales).

The new shop, after all, is within a great old home perched over Broadway/Route 9 and filled with so, so much… including furniture, lamps, desks, etc.

What about the lifting?

“I’m not. I have people lifting for me,” Leggio said with a grin.

OK, that’s settled!

As Johnny Cash music set just the right tone, I wandered through the many rooms and vignettes, which are all really attractive.

Here’s the set-up. You can see how much thought — and work — Leggio’s put into creating a really funky space. She’s even showcasing the work of local artists, starting off with Sandy Henke, whose whimsical pieces are found throughout the shop. (A few are just visible on the wall in this first photo below; sorry, I couldn’t get a clear shot of the intricately detailed work).

Shoppers will find it hard to not buy something. Just take a look at all that’s on offer.

(Those who love vintage clothing may want to check out a new segment, which Leggio is calling “recycled” clothes. These are well-designed pieces that might only be 10 years old. The prices, she says, will be less than the classics, broadening the appeal and reaching out to a younger audience).

Leggio has even introduced her own line of bath salts and cards, with plans to expand offerings down the line.

And not to worry — Pretty Funny’s “trademark,” the $10 costume jewelry — is still featured. In a big way.

I just love how she’s added subtle touches, too, such as these stars that dangle in the windows. (“You can never have enough of those,” Leggio says.).

And here’s Leggio, taking a pause on the wraparound porch that’s already filled with merchandise (and will serve as a year-round showcase).

The shop, at 80 S. Broadway, is now open 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesdays through Sundays.
