in the latest Hudson Valley Word of Mouth segment from Julia Joern, a visit with Ray Adamski, proprietor of the Hodge Podge Shop. Located near Catskill Creek right on Main Street in Leeds, his place is just like it sounds. It's a classic mom and pop shop -- only much, much bigger -- that's jam-packed with everything and the kitchen sink: eclectic antiques and collectables, vintage furniture and historic housewares, funky lamps and chandeliers, old records and magazines from bygone eras, you name it. Ray started out working in Hollywood, sourcing period props to fit film scripts. He still works with the local film industry, most notably on Ang Lee's 'Taking Woodstock' (2009), as well as set decorators and stylists. But his shop is truly beloved by everyday hunters and gatherers who enjoy scouring flea markets, garage sales, and thrift stores for unique recycled and repurposed finds.
