I used to get my shoes fixed in this store. A great cobbler left this storefront just about a year ago, and I was so sad to see the old going and the new, hip antique store, Liza Sherman, moving in. Guess what? The cobbler retired and happily moved back ome to South America, and the new, hip store IS hip, but is not so new, being an extension of Liza Sherman's Sag Harbor store. Walking by, you have to turn your head and notice the few, carefully selected (and eclectic as in China, France, Scandinavia) pieces of furniture in the brightly painted shop (the color? Orange Burst by BM, one off from Mandarin Orange, which I wrote about last week as the most popular color of the moment). Beautiful ad funky lamps, chairs, clocks and tables - all very one off and hard to find. Problems? I know I keep saying this and sound like a broken record, but price is the only problem. Liza Sherman is expensive. We saw two really nice mercury glass lamps and asked the price. $1,000 was the quick reply. You either got the dough, or you save up for the one thing you really, really, really love. No doubt about Liza's eye though. It's right on. MGR










I agree totally that "Liz Sherman" has a good eye, BUT the prices are completely off the hook! What was she sipping when she priced four iron HOOKS @ $595. I mean, what else do they do? Obscene!

I noticed the same iron hooks that Paula is talking about and saw them in the cafe down the the street called The Grey Dog Coffee. After talking with the owner he told me he bought them at Liza Sherman and the whole history behind them. They are 19th Century and signed by a famous iron monger of the time. $595 does not seem accessive for items from the turn of the century and signed by an artist. It is expensive...but you get what you pay for. If you want cheap hooks you should go to Home Depot.
I Just need to post something somewhere about my experience with this company. After making a purchase and being told it was going to be shipped to my home the following week, I still don't have the item and it has been a month! When I call, no one returns calls and when I finally called their other location I was greeted with the worst attitude ever. Still, though the say the item has shipped, there is no tracking information or ship date. This for a $4000.00 item, I wonder how they treat a $595 sale. Beware
