The Second Knob Gifts & Antiques

Spring is the Time of New Life and Renewal…And a New Shop!

Did you know that the Easter Basket ritual has its origins in the German folklore of the Easter Hare? According to German legend, a white hare would leave Easter baskets filled with candies, brightly colored eggs and other goodies for kids to come and eat them on Easter morning! Keeping with and honoring this tradition, The Second Knob is offering white Easter hares from the Bearington Bear Collection. These soft and cuddly Easter bunnies with long, floppy ears will delight any child! For the child in all of us, we offer brightly colored Peek-a-Boo Chick Photo Holders, which will add a splash of color and fun to any Easter basket! And, let’s not forget the Jelly Bean Cupcake mixes your child will love making with you!

As we wrap-up Easter week, we will be putting-out our incredible selection of Mother’s Day gifts to honor motherhood. What’s the perfect gift for Mom this year? Spend time with her. More than anything, Moms love to spend time with their children and grandchildren. Perhaps, celebrating together with a nice brunch, lunch or supper is just what your mother would enjoy most? If mom isn’t interested in a meal, a nice drive or, better yet, a casual walk, would provide you with some quiet time to tell Mom just how much she means to you. Next to perfect and one-size fits all, is The Second Knob Gift Certificate! Available in any denomination, this gift is sure to please even the most difficult-to-please mother, grandmother or aunt. We also offer a selection of affordable and unique signs, plaques, and plates perfect for any mom. For the mother who has everything, a pair of earrings or a pendant from our collection of Bread and Butter Silver Factory jewelry is sure to bring a smile to her face. Did you know that Bread and Butter Silver Factory jewelry has roots in Dryden?? That’s right! It originated in August of 1993; a year after Marsha Clark Sierra graduated with a degree in fine arts from Syracuse University and urged her parents, Bob and Martha Clark, to spend their retirement years with her starting a jewelry business which could be operated from their home studio. Marsha, who grew-up in Dryden and graduated from Dryden High School, now resides in Reston, Virginia but her parents, Bob and Martha are still right here in Dryden! Now, almost twenty years later, Bread and Butter Silver Factory jewelry is enjoyed by thousands of people. Each piece is hand-forged and hand-assembled; one piece at a time, making each piece unique in its own way…Just like your mom!!

To all of our customers and their families, we wish you a lovely Easter, a wonderful Mother’s Day and a delightful spring!
