I love how creative our makers are! Cori of Farrago has different mediums of art sprinkled throughout the store. Here is one of her latest creations! She loves using repurposed materials in her items. Can you figure out how many layers of repurposing went into these coasters?

One thing I love about small businesses is that you’re working with actual people who actually care! Last week Cathy, our newest candle maker, mentioned the possibility of a collaboration with Paul from PhD designs (who does the awesome Schenectady post cards, magnets and posters we’ve had in the store for years!) and this week, they’re already here! You don’t get that kind of turnaround from a big company.

These ARE 100% be my favorite vintage GE glasses we’ve gotten in. ✨We have 3 available✨ They’re the perfect combination of the two rocks glasses we’ve had in the past. They’re heavy and sleek and I LOVE the beaded detail on the bottom! Anyone know what that building is?

The holiday season is over and the store has definitely slowed down with this. We’re thinking of changing our hours a bit for these colder, darker, dreary months🥶

Would you rather we close one more day during the week or have shorter hours most days?

Our Story

The owner of The Schenectady Trading Company moved to Schenectady at the age of 5 and has a love for the City and its unique American heritage. After selling her original photography and poetry in the marketplace, she began to envision a space that was specifically focused on highlighting Schenectady County. Why limit these pursuits to weekend festivals and farmers’ markets? The store will be a place where both residents and visitors can find affordable goods that are created locally and also find items that are inspired by the area and its history - architecture, invention, electricity, locomotives, Erie Canal heritage, Dutch and indigenous origins, and the Mohawk River. This inspiration started with some souvenir items - framed prints, magnets, calendars, mugs, etc. - and quickly grew to incorporate products from other local makers and manufacturers living in and around Schenectady. The owner has done the legwork to bring all of these products under one roof so that local is truly local! If you have friends or family in town, are passing through as a tourist, or want to send a care package or gift to out-of-towners with a connection to the city, The Schenectady Trading Company is the place to shop. More than that, it endeavors to be a gathering space for nearby residents to get connected to their community in a warm and inviting atmosphere.
