And then something even more improbable happened. Although their only showroom was virtual and their client base was scattered throughout the country, they began to receive design commissions from North Fork merchants who wanted to illuminate their establishments with vintage or vintage-style fixtures. “I think lamp design and craftsmanship in the early half of the twentieth century were better than they are today,” says Cuneen, whose converted cabbage slicer lamp retails for about $400. “We try to recreate vintage designs using quality materials or adapt period pieces and components to make a new fixture.” In 2017, Corey Creek Vineyards, in Southold, Product Display Wall

Westinghouse in the 1920s, the Cozy Glow was equipped with what appeared to be a big-copperlined dome. But when Cuneen stripped away the black paint on the outside, he discovered that the dome was copper through and through. He bought up a cache of Cozy Glows and turned them into lamps, one of which eventually found its way to another winery, Bella Fattoria, in Hannibal, New York. Next in the pipeline for the Vintage Illumination Company is a retail venue. Although Cuneen remains pleasantly surprised by the number of clients in farflung locations who are willing to spend a thousand dollars or more on lamps they have only ever seen in photos, he feels it’s time to light up the North Fork with a brick-and-mortar shop. No doubt, the future storefront will give off a soft vintage glow.

LANDSCAPE

LANDSCAPING IS FOR THE BIRDS!!! BY ANNE HALPIN Some eat insects or grubs and caterpillars (these birds can be helpful in the garden, consuming pests that attack your lettuce or beans or broccoli). Many birds like seeds, and others, such as orioles, want fruit. Water - Is another essential. Birds drink it, of course, and they bathe in it. A birdbath is a big draw for birds, but they’ll also use puddles, ponds, streams and pools (not swimming pools with chlorinated water). Birds that are here in winter, such as chickadees and juncos, can get water from snow and melting ice. Food Plants - Berries are important food sources for lots of birds. My backyard has wild huckleberries – a big favorite. We didn’t plant them, but we left them in place. Other good bird plants include cherry and crabapple trees, raspberries and blackberries, junipers, sumac and wild grapes. Seeds - Grasses, wildflowers including goldenrod

Chef Greg Ling is no longer at Greenport’s Industry Standard, which has streamlined its Asianfusion menu in his absence, now serving only a handful of artfully wrought dishes.
