Sagg mugs, tee shirts, sweat shirts, and decorative town signs Thayer makes. The old fashioned case of bakery goodies wasn’t wasted on me either. Very tempting. There is a full deli counter in the second room, where the goodies are prepared. Lunch and dinner or a preordered sandwich platter and salads can be picked up Kristi Hood, Proprietor, Springs General Store easily. There is a full stock of grocharm remains. My eyes fell on the old wood- ceries, toiletries, toys, kites, and hostess gifts. en Post Office numbered cubbies on the wall.

This was the Sagaponack Post Office for on our delicious egg on 7-grain sandwiches, many years. I turned towards the door, half my husband commented: “Now that was a real expecting to see someone tying up his horse general store.” I agree, wholeheartedly. outside. The merchandise may be new, but Run of the mill, common, ordinary, these the history is generations old. general stores are not. Instead they are what “Our forte is sandwiches, salads, pot pies we obviously still need and love. In the words and baked goods,” Thayer said, “and we only of Springs General Store’s Kristi Hood, serve Kobricks Coffee. Everyone loves it.” I “People want to come in and say ‘my usual, had to agree, as I sipped mine, waiting for my please.’ They want to relax.

things from her in the future. She has already had solo and group shows in the Hamptons and her original drawings are being collected by big names in the art world. Last year she showed images from this book in-progress and some constructions alongside the dolls of Sag Harbor folk artist Jeanelle Myers. GarretsonPersans clearly has a razor sharp eye for telling juxtaposition. Garretson-Persans proves herself wise beyond her years as this book includes truisms such as “A house is like an animal with a memory like a rain bucket.” As well as this telling reflection: “Rhymes form the basis of a more realistic, more ordered and understandable reality. They have more weight, more plausibility than facts. The house is riddled with rhymes and the rhymes are its history and its future. I stack them on the shelves and save them for later.” The book was “launched” two weeks ago at the Hayground Farmers Market as a surfer band played and free cupcakes circulated. Garretson-Persans is an artisanal bread baker by day. To order a copy of this book you don’t visit Amazon or a local bookstore, you visit Garretson-Persans at her market stand on Friday afternoons or order through her website adotgdashp.com or the popular website etsy.com. The soft cover book is only $25, $50 with a limited edition dustcover. Some of her original drawings are also available. If you’re local, you might also order some fresh bread with your new art book. Clearly GarretsonPersans is a woman of many talents.
