Over the coming weeks and throughout the remainder of the year, we will be sharing various products, catalog covers, fun facts and more from SYW’s past. In a special feature on Facebook, look forward to “Hear Ye, Hear Ye, SYW Goods of Yore.” A chance for us to discuss a favorite item from 30 years ago for example, and compare it perhaps to a similar product of today. We also will be interested to hear your feedback on your preference of style or various design choices. Furthermore, on our Articles & Tips page, we will be gathering more exciting information surrounding our 60th Anniversary Celebration in a section titled “Sturbridge through the Years – Purveyor of Furnished Goods.” Here, we will go more in depth about such topics as our Shaker furniture line, our braided rugs, SYW catalog exclusives and other customer-favorite products, designers, and styles from the last 60 years.
Pictured above is an opening letter on page 2 of our 1978 catalog. The image is of our original retail store in Sturbridge. Shown here below is another except from an old catalog, explaining a bit about our history. Did you know that Surbridge Yankee Workshop was once housed in a 150 year-old mill? This is just a sampling of what we’ll be sharing, here in our blog “Shoptalk,” and on our Articles & Tips page. Don’t forget to look for us on Facebook too. As always we appreciate your business and thank you for your loyalty over the years.
