I picked up a full view map of the MBTA system for my room and my friend got a few MBTA pictures. One of the most noteworthy components of this store is the service, it is incredible! My friend and I came in 10 minutes before close, unknowingly, but the sales associate and manager helped me find exactly what I was looking for and didn't rush us at all. They also have a real-time tracker of the MBTA trains which is one of the coolest techno gems I've ever seen. If I could, I would buy everything in this store.

I've been passing by here and didn't get a chance to check it out until now. Upon entering, I was…read moregreeted by a friendly staff. The shop was busier than I thought, with plenty of customers browsing through their selection. They have a plethora of signs and maps on not only posters and boards but also on magnets and even T-shirts! I wouldn't have thought there could be a shop dedicated to Boston-related maps and subway systems. Also, I finally figured out where people get their MBTA Halloween costumes; it's here. Overall, a cool niche shop. Glad I stopped by.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

A visit to Tiny Turns just made the start of my year so much better. It's been a while since I've…read morevisited, so it was a delight to see the larger store on the street side of Bow Market, which they moved to in 2023. I didn't have time to explore the whole store (my little creature didn't have enough patience for shopping), but I will definitely have to come back. They've got so much good stationary to satisfy serious aficionados (fountain pens, Japanese and French brands, letterpressed cards, etc.), as well as a mountain of cute gift items that I could equally get lost in. But my agenda today was a paper planner, and thankfully their planners and calendars are still 20% off. Even though it's near the end of the "season," they still had a good selection from the class Leuchteum notebooks/planners to some brands I wasn't familiar with. I ended up picking up a Sooofa planner and a Hobonichi notebook (yes they have notebooks now, not just their planners!), plus some cute unique cards and stickers. (This was me being restrained.) The prices are more than you'd pay at larger chains like Paper Source, but the curation and focus on small brands and quality make it very worthwhile. I had a nice chat with the owner during check out and plan to be back very soon. It's totally worth pairing a stationary trip with a visit to Remnant Brewing for coffee or beer, or brunch/lunch at one of the many good restaurants in the area.

I want to commend a great customer service. I've ordered my Ketubah very late, about 2 weeks before my wedding and the day after I've placed my order they were going to be out of the studio. So, they completed my order (personalization and shipping) in 1 day and very promptly answered all my questions. I am very pleased with the whole process and the Ketubah itself and definitely recommend this company.

Found this coin zippy wallet in this blue Epi using the Tradesy app. Wow what a steal I price I got this item for. This piece retails $430 brand new, and this piece I got for $135. The pics on tradesy did not do it justice. The leather had no cracks, and a minor boo boo here and there on the outside but over all this piece is in pretty good condition for being made in 2013. It's 6yrs old plus now. Super happy with the item, the purchase and this company! Thanks for the a smooth transaction and super fast shipping. I'll have to check you guys out again!

How can I take a good picture? I don't know if I have time for this...) and when I found LRN I thought I would do some stress outsourcing. LRN does everything for you, from taking gorgeous professional photos to giving you the option of shipping your clothes and accessories to them. Siblings Eric and Andrea are incredibly kind and great at their jobs. They manage their sales on multiple platforms giving the consigner a greater chance of selling and their consigner agreements are very generous. Plus they have been great communicators and available through email for my questions and any updates. I tried to get some quotes from other local consigners and left with some low quotes for classic pieces. Use Luxury Resale Network if you're looking to get fair prices and great service. Thank you Eric and Andrea!!

I ordered four for family members as gifts for my children and a nephew. Yesterday I got a call from Tom saying the finished product was in and ready for pickup, which I did today. Tom expertly shrink-wrapped together the four pictures for easy transport and brought them to my vehicle. I left the shrink-wrap on since it's a gift, but you can get a sense of the quality of the frame and reproduction. Tom is the epitome of a small shop owner who cares about his workmanship and his customer service. And a great story teller.
