Furniture and Smalls
by Pete Micciche!
Highboy by Pete
Pete keeps us well-stocked with incredible reproduction furniture! From William & Mary sideboards to primitive High Boys, Cottage-style cupboards to Pennsylvania German trunks… he can do it all! Pete also makes lots of ”smalls”… miniature cupboards, small benches, utensil boxes… whatever strikes his creative fancy!
- Patriotic Eagle Scherenschnitte
Kim, our resident papercutter, is Richard & Melody’s daughter! Kim creates historically inspired Scherenschnitte, Fraktur, and Silhouettes, and her husband Chris builds beautiful faux-grained and distressed frames for her art. Kim’s work has been selected for Early American Life magazines Directory of Traditional American Crafts and their Holiday Directory. If you stop by Hudson’s, you will very likely see Kim hard at work on her next batch of papercuttings!
Rick Fish Antiques and Decoys!
Egrets and Heron by Rick Fish
Rick has been a fixture at Hudson’s since we opened! A true Eastern Shoreman, his decoys and shorebirds are absolutely wonderful… and Rick’s wife Harriett often turns his shorebird creations into beautiful wreaths! You can find Rick on our porch on special weekends, or you can go visit him at his website!
Penny Rugs and More
by Pat Lynch!
Penny Rugs by Pat Lynch
Pat Lynch is a “Jane of All Trades, and Master of Quite a Few!” Everything she puts her hand to, turns out beautifully! We have quite a selection of her work… unique penny rugs made from overdyed wool, as well as wonderful hand-painted floorcloths! And if you catch her on a “porch weekend” at Hudson’s, you’ll see her incredible pine needle baskets!
Handmade Jewelry
by Dawn Pierro!
Handmade Necklaces by Dawn Pierro
Dawn is a local jewelry designer, and is just plain fun! Her unique pieces incorporate real crystals, semi-precious stones, and sterling silver, with a bit of brass and copper mixed in. And she’s always willing to work with customers for custom pieces! We girls always seem to get into trouble when Dawn brings in new things!
Decorative Painting
by Suzy Hudson
Bride Box by Suzy Hudson
Suzy’s not part of our Hudson clan, but we’ll claim her as family anyhow! Suzy is a local decorative painter, who embellishes small boxes, trays, tinware, trunks and stools, and anything else that can be painted on! From whimsical beach style to Rufus Porter primitive, she can do it all! Above is a wonderful example of a reproduction Bride’s Box from the 18th century!
