New Shop Called Re:Find Turns History Into Art

Downtown Easton's newest store has products made from part of the city's past.

RE:find, which will have its grand opening Saturday at 437 Northampton St., focuses on "environmentally responsible and sustainably sourced home furnishings and gifts."

That means selling "a number of products reclaimed and made in and around Easton, including benches made from Lafayette bleacher seats, mirrors with tin reclaimed from the old Pomeroy’s building," manager Jon Clark said in a news release.

Clark runs a similar store, Home & Planet, in downtown Bethlehem, but said last month he was moving to Easton.

He told Patch at the time that still loves downtown Bethlehem, but felt he needed to move to make his business more manageable.

Clark said the new, smaller location in Easton will allow him to spend more time on the aspects of his business that he enjoys, such as working with artists like Bill Kreider, who creates the steel beam furniture that has become a Home & Planet signature.

To mark their arrival in Easton, Clark and RE:find owner Ron Susser will hold a day-long celebration Saturday, starting at 11:30 a.m.

The day will begin with a ribbon cutting, with coffee from the Terra Cafe and cookies from the Easton Baking Company.

From 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., the Bank Street Creamery will give out samples of its new, RE:find inspired ice cream flavor.

And from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., the store will host its own fashion show.

The grand opening also marks the opening of a show by artist  Pablo Molgora, which runs through September 8.

RE:find will be open during the summer from Wednesday through Sunday, with extended hours Friday and Saturday. For more information, call 610-829-1313, email isrefindeaston@gmail.com or visit www.refindeaston.com.
