HEY YOU! -----> join our group
on Facebook for all the latest news
about
that motherlode of vintage vinyl....
You
can now add "used record shop" to the many offerings
to be found here at the Mystery Spot.
Earlier
this year we acquired a staggering collection of vintage
vinyl - over 15,000 records and countless 45's. Jazz, rock,
country, comedy, psych, blues, lounge, exotica, risque,
funk, spoken word, Northern Soul....you name it! Our little
elves have been hard at work all winter digging through
the boxes in order to hand pick the best and most unusual
of the bunch to bring into the shop. The keepers go straight
to the new, custom-built record room. The others go outside
in the dollar bins. The project is endless, so our promise
to you, dear customer, is that we will bring in at least
one new carton of records every week during the entire summer!
***************************
The
Mothership has landed. We've moved to 72 Main Street, and
the entire Village of Phoenicia celebrated by throwing us
a parade! (OK, the parade wasn't really for us,
per se, but we loved seeing our neighbors parading so proudly
past our front door).
Opening
weekend was a great success - tons of neighbors, friends
and customers came out to welcome us to our new home on
Main Street (conveniently located next door to the Ice Cream
Station!). The place was packed all weekend long as vintage
merch flew off the shelves and racks. The Dollar Record
bins on the porch have proven to be a big hit.
Everyone
asked the same question: HOW DID YOU DO IT? How did we manage
to move the entire contents of the old Mystery Spot into
this new (and roomier) spot?
Here's your answer:
Our friends
James and Marx. Two men, one truck. What would we have done
without them?
Another
helper who went above and beyond was our good friend
Balthazar, who made signs for the Yard Sale in a Box:
and helped
scrub out our display pieces while his mom Althea worked
on her manicure:
Other
members of the team chipped in with that good old small-town
spirit as well. Our buddy Marc Rubin built us the perfect
set of custom-made record display bins (so we'd have somewhere
classy to display the 15,000 records we've got in storage):
and David
"Homer" Goldin risked life and limb harrassing
the starlings nesting in the eaves:
So there
you have it! We're open for business once again. Weekends
in June, Friday - Monday (probably more) in July and August,
then back to weekends sometime in the fall. But our schedule
is quite flexible, so if you're coming a long distance to
make the trip, feel free to contact us in advance.
***************************
We've
moved!
Mystery Spot Antiques is re-opening for its eighth season
at a NEW location on Main Street and we're celebrating with
a
20% off preview sale this Memorial Day Weekend!
We've moved a few doors down to roomier digs at 72
Main Street in Phoenicia (the old 1800's Gormley Hotel/former
video store, between the Ice Cream Station and the Sportsman's
Alamo).
The Catskills' obsessive "Shrine to Clutter" has
expanded to seven rooms packed to the rafters
with unusual antiques and found objects; men's, women's
and children's vintage clothing; mid-century home furnishings
and lighting; 1,000's of used records (from a recent estate
purchase of over 15,000 LPs, which we're still sorting through);
and oddities such as Desdemona, the Devil Girl of Phoenicia
and Petey the Petrified Piranha.
We're still in the process of unpacking boxes and bringing
in treasures we picked up all winter long, but please come
on by for a sneak peek and 20% off preview sale all weekend!
We'll be bringing in new items every week all summer and
fall, so check back often.
Look
for an official celebration/party sometime in July, and
live music all summer. Heck, even when we're not open you're
welcome to dig through our dollar record bins and
our famous Yard Sale in a Box on the front porch,
with an honor box/money drop at your service.
