Mary Shustack shops around

A destination for antiques

April
17

Today’s the day my “shop of the week” feature runs in our Life & Style section — and here on LoHud.com.

For this week, I trekked up to Pound Ridge to visit All Your Yesterdays.

Here’s a bit more of a tour, since I have space to run a few more pictures.

The shop is a little ways beyond Scotts Corners, the downtown business district on Westchester Avenue — but the signs will tell you you’ve found it:

And here’s the entrance — the shop is in an old house:

The merchandise outside gives a clue that there will be plenty more inside — owners Robert and Vida Barbo estimate they have 1,100 pieces on display:

Don’t you just love an antiques shop where you don’t know where to look first? It’s a dizzying kind of clutter that gets any collector’s heart racing.

After a bit, you focus in on specific items:

That’s just a taste of what’s on display.

The Barbos are always adding to the mix, drawing from their stored items and new acquisitions.

Longtime dealers, they used to exhibit in multi-dealer spaces and at a bunch of the regional antiques shows. (They still do shows but not as many as before).

The shop opened up in March of 2006 — I’m glad I finally made it up there — and if you go, bet you will, too.

It’s at 34 Westchester Ave., with hours generally 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesdays through Sundays (or by appointment).

Call 914-764-3063.
