The Wee Shoppe Catskill, NY

Tucked into a narrow storefront in the village of Catskill, NY, The Wee Shoppe was imagined as a tiny jewel box with a rock-and-roll heart. What began as a dim, brick-walled space was transformed into layered world of story and texture – part vintage boutique, part silversmith's studio, part secret trove of treasures.

Exposed brick and dreamy vignettes framed displays of weather books, turquoise jewelry, and hand-tooled leather. Every inch was designed to feel intimate and alive – a space that invited you to linger, to touch, to discover. Behind a linen curtain, my silversmith bench sat quietly humming, bridging the line between workshop and gallery.

I wanted it to feel like stepping into a secret world, the kind of place you stumble upon and never forget. The result was a space that felt equal parts Stevie Nicks and Old West. Weathered books, vintage denim, band tees, and hand forged silver lived together in layered harmony, lit by soft chandeliers, and the hammering of an ancient craft just beyond the veil. Romantic, mysterious, and raw in the most beautiful way. A love letter to craftsmanship, rebellion, and the small sanctuaries we build by hand.
