OBSESSED. I was really impressed with their art collection -- and really every vintage piece there. Prices are OK. This place is definitely a maze, totally jam-packed, but really fun and stimulating. read more

I really loved this shop and I would highly recommend it. I thought I had seen jam packed vintage shops before, but this one took the cake! It had amazing variety, tons of small things like jewelry and mid-century porcelain items, which are among my favorite vintage items! The owner was really nice, too, and very patient as I spent over an hour looking carefully through her things. I did buy, and when I looked over at home the items I had purchased, I was even more pleased with them than I had been in the shop! Don't miss this one the next time you are in Albany, NY, guys! You will be so glad you went! read more

I absolutely love this place. Perfect for gifts during any holiday. It's the cutest little trinket shopthat comes with special jewelry and thrifted clothes if you look hard enough. This place is like a fun little maze with surprises everywhere. The owner is the sweetest and I always leave with a new something read more

I really like it in here. Elissa is always pleasant. I can find good little gifts for family and friends. And then, I always have enough left over to pick up something for myself! Be sure to check out the clothes and shoes in the back. You might find something worthwhile. read more

I love this place. Elissa has the greatest flair for making the most out of her space and browsing her store is always a treat. She always has cute little descriptions of the items in the store and she has a knack for arranging things. Her jewelry is awesome. My mother and I have spent far too much money here, but it's worth it. I would much rather shell out for a handmade, unique design from a local artist than buy some mass-produced thing. And she uses really great supplies - funky pendants, Czech glass beads, and all sorts of wonderful semiprecious stones. Newswoman Soledad O'Brien is a fan too. She also always has a nice selection of products made by other regional artists - purses, little paintings, jewelry, etc. There's a revolving selection of other vintage and new gifts too, including gorgeous scarves, hats, mirrors, dishes, little knick-knacks, ornaments, candle holders etc. There's also a second-hand clothing area in the back where you can always find something awesome. Elissa is the ideal type of local businesswoman : the type of person who obviously loves what she does and takes great pride in it. She and co-worker Theresa are both really sweet women, who are never pushy. She recently moved the store two doors down and the new space is even better. There's a lot more room and it's just such a delight to browse. read more

Some of the custom jewlery is cool - but a lot of it you can find on etsy. The consignment/vintage clothing store doesn't have real vintage clothes (in my description of the term), but mainly out of date chain retail store brands. If you're looking for real vintage clothes or unique jewlery, drive an extra 20ish minutes into saratoga. read more

I absolutely ADORE this place. Beautiful designs and really helpful staff. Great selection of awesome vintage chains and pendants. I could have easily bought ten of them if I did not control myself and exercise the utmost restraint. Beautiful stuff from the 70s! I can not wait to go back! read more

Did most of my Xmas shopping here! Great vintage toys (lots of snoopy and Smurf's) and cool odds and ends. Many items made by local artists including jewelry made by Elissa and others. Now is the time to support local shops!! read more

Elissa is amazing, she is so talented and her store is so much fun. Albany or Lark St. would not be the same without her. She is a treasure and so is her business read more

A very cool store located on Lark Street that is the type of place to bring out of town guests to have them find something unique. My girlfriend and I have bought a number of cool items here. Pottery, jewelry, paintings, etc. Also, there is a great incorporation of local artists. read more

Elissa's designs are creative and unique- a great place to get someone who is hard to buy for one of a kind jewelry. I do find some of her prices to be steep though. read more

I bought really cool LEGO earnings for my nieces. I was the big winner for Christmas. They absolutely loved them. Such a great place!

I want everything in this store. It's a good thing that I have friends in Albany and I get to come back here and visit her shop. The earrings, the purses, the clothing, the art are all fabulous. She has a fantastic eye. read more

Sadly on my recent return visit she was not open when i walked by. :( Too bad because it was one of my favorite places to shop while i lived in ALbany. Wonderful handmade jewelry and other accesories for yourself and your home. Funky and ecclectic and so much fun. read more

I love Elissa Halloran! Always an eclectic mix of items. From shoes to jewelry to scarves, artwork, and candles. Great little shop.

Great vintage, handmade and "quirky" finds. Prices are reasonable and the owner is always there and is very friendly.

Fabulous, funky,and eclectic collection. Lots of original designs of jewelry and sculpture made by the proprieter. Funky thrift finds and lots and lots to see. This place is a little gem in the heart of Albany. read more

I stopped in during my lunch break to look for a birthday present for my mother-in-law. It's a small store so I figured I would be in and out pretty quickly. But Elissa's jewelry is so pretty and interesting that it took me awhile to look through everything. I eventually picked out a necklace and set of earrings that I knew my MIL would love. And the prices were very reasonable. I'm glad I was able to support a local business. read more

THIS IS MY FAVORITE PLACE! I always go here before a date with my boyfriend to find a cute scarf to wear or a set of earrings to set off my outfits! It's the perfect little space not too overwhelming yet not a shoe box; I tell all my friends to check out this one of a kind place! read more

I live locally and am very pleased to have this great store a few blocks away. I use it to buy presents for holidays and birthdays, baby showers and for myself mostly:) Elissa, her puppy jojo and her current employee, Katrina, are always helpful and pleasant to chat with( when they aren't busy). Elissa uses sterling silver on all her earring hooks that she makes, and many clever and beautiful stones, jewels or buttons. Elissa reuses things to make art. She often features local artists whose work is lovely as well. I love this store and am very happy to have easy access to it. I think items are priced well and the quality of the artist crafted items is outstanding. read more
