Nice little gallery on Main Street in Beacon. They sell all local stuff. I adore places like these…read more Such a great place to do Christmas shopping, and you have the added benefit of supporting local artists. Lots of items, from photographs and paintings, Christmas ornaments, cards, scarves, jewelry, and much more! I saw a lot of things I liked, but I only wound up buying a pair of earrings (for myself!) ($25) that are Christmas themed (see picture!). Will definitely return any time I go to Beacon!

Really loved the Riverwinds Gallery on our last trip to Beacon! The store had a wide variety of…read moreoptions ranging from pottery to photographs to paintings, jewelry and more. We purchased a great painting after spending a few minutes speaking with it's artist who was working around the shop. Everyone there who ran the gallery was helpful and friendly, we spend several minutes in the store after our purchase talking to the owners and other artists who were around, about the town and other great things to see. A must see in Beacon!

Just happened to drive by and noticed a custom framer. I…read morejust moved to the area and needed some pictures re-framed and rematted So I stopped in and John was really helpful. he got my Lithograph re-matted and reframed And mounted a picture in a shadowbox for me and it was all done in a day. He does great work and is very friendly and professional He also does photograph restoration which is some thing that I'm going to need in the very near future So I'm sure I'll be visiting John again. From the work he did for me he was cheaper than Michael's.

This is a relatively new business in town, located in the same building as the post office. I have…read morepassed by often, and made a mental note to contact them the next time I needed framing services, which is fairly frequently. Earlier this week, I called this business and asked some questions about framing and "museum glass", i.e., glass which protects the artwork from fading due to light. Specifically, I asked if 1) there was a way of telling if what I had was, indeed, museum glass, and 2) if not, could they simply replace the glass for me. The employee I spoke with indicated that she probably could NOT tell by looking at it, but that her boss, who had "just left 5 minutes ago" probably could. The time was mid-morning, yet she indicated that he would not be back that day. She invited me to bring the piece in, and he would look at it the next day. I told her I needed to go to the post office in a couple of hours, and I would stop in. The hours posted on their door say that they are open 9:30-6:30 on weekdays (this was a weekday). I drove from Poughkeepsie to Fishkill, arriving at 1:15 PM, to find a locked door. There was a note on the door stating "will return at 2PM; if you need IMMEDIATE (emphasis mine) assistance, call...." followed by a phone number. I called the number, and my call was routed to voice mail. HOW, I wondered, was that going to provide me with immediate assistance? I left a short message expressing my displeasure and went on my way. The next day, the employee did call and leave me a message apologizing, stating that she was at lunch and the ringer was off on her phone. How do you operate a business with posted hours of 9:30 to 6:30, and no mention of being closed for lunch, yet be closed from 1:15 until 2:00? In my opinion, this is irresponsible behavior, and certainly does not indicate an interest in establishing a good reputation for a new business. Apology notwithstanding, there is no way I would leave a $4,500 piece of art with any business that has such casual practices. Your experience may vary, but I will not be returning; I will find someplace that already has an established reputation for good business.

I came here while visiting Beacon on a day trip and I thought the store was so beautiful. It was…read moreoriginally a firehouse that was transformed into the glass store. It is definitely not a store for children, but they had so much glass merchandise for purchase that was so beautiful as well. They have a glass studio where you can learn how to blow glass. The store was very unique and was very beautiful with all the glass masterpieces I would definitely recommend.

This store is stunning. It feels like you're entering a museum, and it's truly breathtaking to see…read moresuch beautiful, handmade glass products reflecting so many different colors, treatments, techniques, and textures. I love that they allow you to venture into the back of the room to watch glass-blowing demonstrations (and even participate). What a neighborhood gem of a store. Beacon is lucky to have this place!

If you don't share his brand of politics and beliefs, he's rude, condescending, and judgmental. The same people who cry about being judged are now the judges.

The price tags were way above my pay grade but definitely looked worth the asking prices. The owners were so cool as they sat in front of their store and welcomed me to look and take pics. OMG, the backyard was small and cluttered but filled with so many cool and funky pieces of artwork. Every nook and corner had something for you to enjoy, smile, laugh and of course snap pictures. I really enjoyed this outside area of art. Definitely check this place out and if you have the coins to support, do so.

The crafts section was appalling: it smelled actually a stench of pumpkin? Or 3rd rate candle store stench of cinnamon vanilla barf. Self service at checkout indicates that the corporation is cutting corners on personnel. The setup for checkout is very weird. Instead of lanes like in supermarkets, there is one side of the aisle for cashier, and other other side with two self checkout areas. This is okay for picking up stuff for scrap booking or perhaps holiday themed ornamental displays. For professional artists, look elsewhere.

I like Michaels but this location needs some work. I needed yarn for my latest crotchet project so…read moreI head to the Michaels in Newburgh. The shelves are almost empty of yarn, but it looked like they received a new shipment of yarn and they had stacked all the boxes on top of the shelves. So I return the next day, because it was non-urgent at the time, and the boxes are still there. No yarn on the shelves. I give it another week. Still no yarn unpacked. At this point I give up and go straight online to order. I really needed to get started on this project. Fast forward to a month later, I'm back at this location for something else this time. I bump into another customer that makes a comment about the boxes of yarn that have yet to be unpacked and put on the shelves. We were in the same boat. Waiting over a month for them to stock their shelves with yarn. It's a new week, I'm guessing the yarn still has not been unpacked.
