Mary Shustack shops around

You’ll have to take my word for it…

The coolest part of a kaleidoscope, of course, is what you see when you look inside.

A few years ago, I visited the Yonkers home and workshop of Arny Weinstein.

I loved his story — it’s the classic case of someone who “chucked” the corporate life and decided to pursue something much more artistic.

Weinstein took a pretty unusual path — he designs and hand-crafts kaleidoscopes that he sells through A.W. Scopes.

It was fun to catch up with him this morning when I visited Crafts at Lyndhurst.

I have a few pictures of his new creations, all beautiful to look at with a variety of fine woods.

But, I can’t show you what I saw when I looked inside.

For that, you’ll have to head over to Tarrytown this weekend for the show.

It’ll be worth it — promise!

Check back for my final show report in a few minutes.
