About the shop
Tzvia Laor and Iris Arkin met in the 1980s as El Al flight attendants and reconnected in 2006, after Laor came back from the US. That year they opened Back Yard in Pardes Hanna. Laor took to American vintage while living in Cleveland, Ohio, where she went to flea markets and garage sales.
According to an undated ynetnews article (probably 2023), the two travel to the US twice a year, mainly to Ohio, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, for about ten days each time. They buy from dozens of dealers and at markets and estate sales, pack the goods at a warehouse and ship them to Israel. Stock is indoor and outdoor furniture, household items, old toys and lighting, with an emphasis on simple, sometimes rustic pieces.
The article says their most expensive sale was a late 19th-century tambour cabinet that covered a whole wall. Instagram posts from October and November 2026 show sofas, armchairs, dining tables and kitchenware.
