Also known as THE candle store, this place is a total must visit in Woodstock. They have so many…read morecandles of all different types and style: taper, tea light, votive, beeswax, etc. In the center of the store is a giant candle assemblage that's pretty remarkable. They have candles in a variety of themes for owl lovers, mushroom lovers, yoga enthusiasts, etc. While some may find the prices a little steep (I overheard a guy trying to convince his girlfriend to just buy candles in the dollar store because it's so much cheaper), the prices are not terribly unreasonable. Expect to pay a slight premium due to the touristic location but also no shipping and a unique experience.

A train buddy of mine recommended this place as a good destination when taking a trip with the…read morewife. He said they had lots of trains, and other things that would appeal to the misses. He was correct on both counts. It took an hour to get here from Albany (actually, a little more because we got lost and our smart phone led us astray) and as we were arriving at lunch time we both hoped that food might have been part of their wares. Sadly, it was not. What we did find was a charming store that seemingly carried everything one could ask for if trapped in a nearby camping area. They had an eclectic selection of nature, history, cooking, an entertainment books; local candles, soaps, and jam; sewing and craft supplies; toys, puzzles, games, and other similar things; car, boat, plane, and R/C plane kits; metal soldiers and castles; chochkes and knickknacks; and they had trains. I took about 45 minutes in the store and believe I saw everything. They didn't excel in one area but had a nice selection of a little bit of everything. Their hardware section was extremely small, and I overheard someone asking for twine which they didn't have (and I thought that was odd). I was hoping to find some old fashioned candy but their sweets selection was limited. I purchased a small soap for my mother but otherwise didn't buy anything except a pastry made nearby at a bakery. But, I came for the trains and they had lots of them. Someone looking for a train set would find a good selection in various scales (N, HO, O, and G) here. Their prices were decent and considering that they were located in the middle of nowhere I think more than fair. Their selection included lots of new, modern trains (meaning, made recently) which surprised me, as well as some old, used trains. They had books, magazines, hats, whistles, and some VHS tapes that likely will be there for eternity. They had a couple of display layouts that hadn't been operated in a while, including one in Z scale which I thought was neat. Sadly, I couldn't find anything I needed. I hate going to a train store, especially one where the proprietor is actually trying to run a nice store, and not buying anything. They had some things that interested me but their prices weren't what I wanted to pay. They had some great prices on things but I didn't need or want them. So, I bought a pastry and left without a train purchase, actually feeling disappointed. It is a cute store. It won't replace the local, well stocked train stores near me but it was a fun destination place. For anyone camping nearby that needed something to keep themselves busy I can imagine this would be a little bit of paradise.

It was hard to resist leaving without a little treat for myself (or to gift someone). Whether it's candles or a skincare product to incorporate into my self-care routine- or simply one of their hand lotions to bring to my classroom. I felt prices are fair. While Remedies H.S. serves as the source for all things healing. Additionally, you can take classes+ nature walks and learn how to use the healing remedies more effectively. This just about covers (almost) everything.

Plus I wanted to stop in to pick up a flower arrangement for my 10 year-old(?) neighbor, who appeared in Babes in Toyland at the Woodstock Playhouse. Hops P. is technically a florist shop- but I found far more home décor than floral stems. Candles, textiles and décor items seemed to take over Petunia's space with just several blooms on display. All great though. I made do with the limited selection of stems available and chose some colorful ones for my neighbor. For $25 (¯\_(ツ)_/¯), it was... nice and so was the service. I probably wouldn't return for the hefty floral price and/or the limited stems selection, but they do carry natural lavender and other botanical skin oils that felt silky on the skin and may return for those.
