Hunter Bee

It doesn’t take more than a few minutes in Hunter Bee, the Millerton, NY antiques emporium, to realize that the biggest “find” is the store itself. Kent Hunter and Jonathan Bee have wonderful taste and a flair for presentation that makes it hard to leave once you start exploring.

They have a thing for hats ...


These tiny vintage hats come in tiny hatboxes. I always thought they were salesmen samples and then Kent Hunter told me that they were, in fact, GIFT CERTIFICATES!
So much better than our standard gift cards –don’t you think?





Hunter Bee will be among the many Millerton merchants participating in Fall for Art this weekend, Oct. 23-24. Stop by for some vintage time travel and to see the collage work of Terry Rosen (previous post).

If you are in the Millerton, NY area this weekend, take a break from leaf-peeping and head over to Hunter Bee. They will be showcasing Terry Rosen’s new collages as part of the Fall for Art festival. Picking up where she left off after creating the “conversational” prints that made Nicole Miller famous, Rosen is now assembling her found treasures—candy wrappers, coat checks, ticket stubs, etc. and photographing the results. The larger-than-life-sized prints are playful and smart. Check out her new website for more collages and her textile designs.
