Yikes! I just started a blog! I have no idea what I am doing so please bear with me as I begin my journey!!

My name is Amy DeBiase and I own a shop on Jay Street in Schenectady, NY.  Jay Street is a lovely pedestrian walkway in the heart of Downtown Schenectady, home of Proctors Theater.  Jay Street is becoming quite a little tourist attraction, with great shops and restaurants and a growing Artists Community. My shop is an eclectic mix of antique, vintage and new items.  I am an old soul who hates to see things discarded and forgotten.  I truly believe that no matter how old and tattered it may seem on first inspection, every item I find is a TREASURE that was once loved dearly by another sentimental fool like myself.  I believe everything deserves another chance to shine and be loved.  I hope you enjoy the pictures I share, and I hope you will find the time to check back and see my progress.     Thank you for your time and interest!
