we’re having a party! orty-five years ago this August, Sullivan County’s Catskills etched a permanent spot in the consciousness of the world. The summer of ‘69 proved to be life-changing in our rolling hills, ushering in the Age of Aquarius via the Woodstock Music and Art Fair. The fact that the seminal series of rock concerts has become known simply as “Woodstock” – despite the actual town of Woodstock, NY sitting 60 miles to the northeast – is testament to Dan Hust the ongoing, deep cultural resonance of Editor those three days of peace, love and music. It also speaks to the fact that we’re a great place to come and party for the summer! For that original Woodstock vibe, the festival’s hometown of Bethel is the place to be. Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, which now sits on the famous farmer’s

field of 1969, has a variety of exhibits and shows geared toward reliving (and for later generations, understanding) those nostalgic but conflicted days. Just down Hurd Road, the Dancing Cat Saloon will conjure the spirit of Janis Joplin, while two miles to the west, the original Max Yasgur farm will welcome the hip and the hippies to its fields and forests. If your taste in entertainment is on a different wavelength, take a look at our myriad musical and dramatic performances, from longtime favorites at the Forestburgh Playhouse and Delaware Valley Opera, to the more avant-garde presentations at NaCl and the Weekend of Chamber Music. In between or on the way home, stop by in2retro, the funkiest, funnest, fascinatingest shop you’ll find this side of Woodstock. Whatever you choose, count on an unforgettable Catskills summer!

WAKE UP ON THE SECOND FLOOR OR THE SECOND GREEN. Complete Play & Stay packages start at just $525! Includes Unlimited Golf with Cart, Complete Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner, and your accommodations! Your choice of 31 spacious rooms or a suite at The Hancock House Hotel in downtown Hancock, NY. Free internet & cable TV! Restaurant & bar on premise. Or choose one of 13 private cabins located throughout the course or on a mountaintop overlooking the village of Hancock and the Delaware River.

In2retro’s selection of evening purses (far left) may look brand new, but in fact most of these stylish handbags are vintage – and in pristine condition. Owner Amy Ronai masterfully color-coordinates the jewelry displays – in this case (left), along green and yellow hues. And a 1950s lamp (right) – with black ceramic panther planters and Venetian blind shades – illustrates the daring designs of that decade. You’ll find it all in a farmhouse (below) that reflects in2retro’s zeal for timeless beauty.

or once, a place that bills itself as “fabulously chic + funky” lives up to the description. Make that surpasses it. Amy Ronai and Joe Kuperblum have crammed all their passion for 20th century furniture, jewelry, art and clothing into the first floor of their summer home. Right off Route 17B just a tad west of Monticello and a tad east of Bethel, NY, their reimagining of an 1890s farmhouse – called in2retro – mashes campiness and classiness into one very memorable shop.

(also on Facebook)

Walk in the front door, and you’re transported back to the middle of last century, when wood, metal and fabric were finessed into forms that combine both art and function. “People come in here, and they smile,” nods Joe, whose warmth and humor are instantly infectious. Go ahead – fall in love with the funky furniture and fine stemware of the 1940s, ‘50s and ‘60s. Marvel at the pristine, like-new quality of dresses, hats and handbags lovingly manufactured 50 years ago.

A genuine Stanley Hager necklace and earrings, plus a 1960s pink beaded and crystal collar (left), dazzle the senses, as do the simpler but no less elegant designs of this glassware with sterling silver overlay (right).

Get lost in “Patio Daddy-O,” where Woodstock, the Borscht Belt, the Atomic Age and the Space Race are vividly expressed in nostalgic toys, barware, barbecue sets, and fantastic neon signs. This collection would be merely kitschy were it not for both Amy and Joe, who’ve made sure everything for sale is of top quality, organized in welcoming fashion, designed to catch the eye and imagination. “We’re very particular in what we buy,” affirms Amy, who’s spent much of her life collecting, displaying and wearing vintage

jewelry – a habit she inherited from her mother right here in the Catskills. Joe and Amy spend winters travelling the country and even Europe for the kind of items you won’t find in most antique shops. “We’ve developed a reputation for unusual, very high-quality pieces,” she notes. “I’m always on the prowl for things that look perfect.” So much so that top NYC designers, stylists and dealers often trek up to in2retro to augcontinued on page 14

Vintage beaded tops and clothing (left) and a bevy of similarly vintage hats (right) appear just as stylish as they did decades ago, while toys and advertising memorabilia (middle) offer ways to recapture a not-so-lost youth.

Judaica ceramics grace several spots, while middle America items like a classic ViewMaster beckon from another shelf. An extensive, curated collection of spectacular vintage costume jewelry adorns multiple display cases (all helpfully color-coordinated), not far from 1970s fondue pots and an oversized logo of Kentucky Fried Chicken’s Col. Sanders.

Out back underneath a tent sit vintage pieces of slightly worn furniture – perfect for college kids or do-it-yourselfers looking for inexpensive yet unique home furnishings. “We cater to everyone!” says Amy. Take a look for yourself: in2retro is open seven days a week from 11 a.m.-5:30 p.m. until Labor Day weekend, then just Saturdays and Sundays (same hours) through Columbus Day weekend – or by appointment.

Want to make a statement in your home? In2retro offers a variety of authentically vintage items that will undeniably add a dramatic flourish to your furnishings – like this mid-century amber lucite hanging fixture (above), a pair of mid-century smoke acrylic and wood table lamps (right), and a breathtakingly beautiful black lacquer and gold leaf Asian wing bench (top).
