I first came across this place a few years ago when my wife and I visited the Berkshires. While…read morewalking by, we noticed several prints in the window that we thought would look great in our home. We decided to step inside and found even more things that caught our interest. They had a variety of items--jewelry, souvenirs, framed prints of artwork, comics, maps, and something I found particularly unique: framed book spines. As we browsed, the employee working there was incredibly friendly and helpful. Although we were initially on the fence about purchasing an art print, we ended up getting that along with some of the framed book spines. We recently returned to the area and decided to stop by again. This time, the owner was there, and he was just as friendly and helpful. A few years back, some coworkers had given me a gift certificate for the store after I told them about it. I had completely lost track of it, but the owner called his wife to see if she could locate any record of it--and within 10 minutes, they found it! We left the store with another large framed print, another book spine, and an enlarged, framed vintage train ticket from the Northeast Corridor. If you're ever in Pittsfield and looking for wall art or unique souvenirs at good prices, definitely stop by this cute store.

This is a great shop in downtown Pittsfield. Went in with the intent to just browse; but ended up…read moreindulging my creative side making some customized magnetic license plate signs (for Xmas gifts). There's something for everyone in here. I really liked the oversized framed book spines of classic (and some contemporary) novels but was already $140 deep on the magnet signs lol. Otherwise I would've bought more! Added plus, the store manager gift wrapped my purchases beautifully. Would absolutely come back here next time I'm out in Western MA. Prices are (in my opinion) fair to a good value, I guess it's dependent on what your personal price point is and what you want to spend.

I have purchased their products in shops in the past, and in November, I ordered from their website due to an incredible sale. Not only did I score a slew of excellent deals, I also received the most generous bag of freebies. Shipping took only a few days. I'm a big fan of whimsical socks, and sadly, many brands at the same price point as Blue Q fail to hold up after multiple washes. I have never had an issue with Blue Q's socks. For this reason, I will only buy socks from them when I am giving as a gift.

I hope it gives me another 10+ years of service.

It's my bag, baby!…read more I stumbled across Bella Bags while looking at Yahoo Green for some alternative shopping. I needed a small gym bag for the essentials: water, phone, keys, telemetry strap and iPod, but wanted something handmade or organic. I also wanted something that didn't look like a boring gym bag. I typed in organic gym bags and Bella Bags popped up. Boy am I glad it did! Can you say cute couture? These bags have some real sass and style; they're not your usual run of the mill blah bags. Bella Bags' sister website, begreenshopgreen.com sells the Organic Ts and shopping sacks, while Marcia takes care of the fashion! I'll admit, the web site's design is a bit simplistic, but where the website lacks, Marcia makes up for it with awesome quality and great products. There's no Bella Bags store yet, but Marcia told me that one is in the works. For now, you'll have to shop on the web or visit one of the stores that sells Bella Bags, like Candy-Plum in NY, Le Petit Garage in NJ or Berkshire Fine Handcrafts in MA. My bag came in 3 days after I ordered it and I was in love! It's the perfect size and so unique. I had some burning questions when I went back to the website, though. I e-mailed Marcia to inquire as to why the photo of my bag was no longer up. She got back to me right away; here's the transcript, you might find it helpful: "Hello Angela - First, I'm so glad you are happy with your gym bag! All of my bags are one-of-a kind, so once a bag is sold - the exact same bag (fabrics and layout) will not be made again ... that is why your particular bag has been removed from the items available for purchase. I completely understand your frustration when it comes to seeing something you want but being unable to purchase it! The pictures of the bags on the main page of the boutique are just an example of the styles - unfortunately, if I were to put pictures of bags that are currently available, I would have to change the picture daily or even several times a day as the bags sell! I do make custom bags - so if you like a particular style and fabric, I can make it like you want it. It just won't be exactly the same as any other bag I have previously made! I currently have a several week waiting list for a custom bag, but if you are still interested - let me know! Thank you again for your order and if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me again! Have a lovely day! Kindest Regards, Marcia Bella Bags " What a sweet gal! Now that I know that the bags are here one day and gone the next - I'm so obsessed!!

Yeah, these folks are so good at what they do, and so reasonable in their pricing that we now save our jewelry issues for RJ Stohr Jewelers. I'd like to think, of all their customers, we travel the furthest to do business with them. But, given how good they are and how well they treat their customers, I'm sure they have many long-distance customer relationships. Keep up the good work, Rick, Ben, Norm, and everyone at RJ Stohr Jewelers!
