“I live in Texas, and I stumbled upon this incredible record store three years ago while on a quest to own all the Taylor Swift albums, and it has been an unforgettable experience ever since. From the very first order, which arrived perfectly packaged and promptly, I was impressed. When I discovered that the store is based in Poughkeepsie, NY, it rendered me silent – my late Grandma was born and raised there, making my connection to this store feel deeply personal and special.Over the years, I have ordered several items, and each one has arrived with the same care and attention to detail. It’s clear that this store truly values its customers and takes pride in their work. Despite never having spoken to them directly, I feel a personal relationship with this store, thanks to their consistent excellence and the nostalgic connection to my Grandma's hometown.To anyone looking for a reliable, heartfelt, and professional record store, look no further. This place is a gem, and I cannot recommend them highly enough.Thank you for the wonderful service and for the unexpected connection to my past.”

155 Main St, Beacon“Such good vibes and good people. I felt like part of the crew when I got my tattoo done. I was able to coherently talk to my artist to work with them to get exactly what I wanted. They took into account my allergies, which was really important for me. I love that all the different artists here have different styles so if you're looking for something particular there's going to be someone great to be able to help you with it. The place is clean, they practice the right sterilization processes. They also celebrated artists and have art galley showings! The one that was up when I was there was so cool. This is a great place.”

696 Dutchess Turnpike suite d, Poughkeepsie“Marie framed a silk scarf for me, and I couldn’t be happier with the result. She was very patient in showing me lots of mat and frame options. I ultimately ended up picking the same option they liked best as well, and it came together beautifully. I have gotten tons of compliments on the frame choice, and the handyman who helped me hang it remarked at the excellent quality of the frame as well as the hanging hardware they had applied. Really appreciate the detail and care they put into the piece, and it’s extra special to support a family owned business. You won’t go wrong!”

This was my very first clay experience so try not to laugh too hard at my cup/bowl or and it was not intimidating. It was fun and definitely support this young small business. Looking forward to a glaze class.”
“Beautiful house we got to meet both artists. They were very warm and inviting. The museum is so overwhelming but in a very good way. The property is unbelievably gorgeous.”
