Okay first: THIS IS NOT A THRIFT STORE!…read more My Mom and I were duped into just walking in to this hippie palace of wonderful artist culture because yelp told us it was a thrift store; its not. "The Hunt" is a great name for a thrift store but this is so much better than a thrift store (ESPECIALLY if you live remotely close to New Milford, which unfortunately, I don't). This is a community, this is an artist guild with all of the possible artistic media you could think of, & a family with purpose. Want to learn a craft? Want to go with your bestie on a random afternoon and paint custom ceramic banks shaped like cheeseburgers and narwhals? Come for the tragically dying arts and stay for the people (mostly Jayson) & the purpose. And don't forget to "Take a rock, leave a rock." You can purchase pieces completed by local artists - like Jayson's glass-blowing daughter or others' stunning yarn projects but... don't think you're leaving with an ugly-ish 1940s Chaise Lounge your Mom likes because that isn't happening here. Please go & immerse yourself in the slow, beautiful, crazy talented artisans and new budding artists, and take a class. I would if I lived within, like, 20 miles... but, alas.... xoxo

This store is super cute and in a nice shopping center. The owner seemed very sweet and kind and…read moremade conversation with us (since she knew I was from out of town and an avid Gilmore Girls fan). The items in her store are very cute, some things are a little expensive, but that is to be expected from a boutique special store. I ended up purchasing a Gilmore Girls bag, a Gilmore Girls mug, and a Gilmore Girls magnet. The owner even added a small note on the inside of the bag thanking us for shopping and even included a free "No Cellphones/Luke's" pin! Both the Hickory Book Store and Five Janes recommended each other to me while I was shopping there, so the store owners might perhaps be friends, or maybe even owned by the same people, but regardless, both shops had friendly employees and I loved shopping there!

I know when I can't get something out of my mind it means that I should have bought it so when I returned home I went online and ordered these beautiful shoes that I know I will love for a really long time. Where I wanted to spend more time was looking at their textiles, books, food items and home goods. The owners have such an eye for detail and beauty. Can't wait to go back. I usually don't post reviews but it's been a while since I visited (pre-pandemic) and I wanted people to know that their online business is still up and running. Enjoy!

I have had problems with their peculiar sizing of men's clothes (that don't actually conform to US equivalents ) and more recently with the quality of an item I purchased which , while listed as vintage with imperfections, was actually quite soiled and not well represented on website . Not very satisfactory response from store when I raised this issue . They seemed to think the dirty condition somehow enhanced the item. Caveat emptor !

A lovely little shop that sits perfectly in a lovely little town. Dim and quiet - filled with…read moretreasures. A careful selection of plants creep and burst and bloom from gorgeous clay pots. Jasmine, ferns, philodendron and orchids. Books, thoughtfully chosen antiques and small curiosities as well. Despite the weathered floor and pretty patches of moss that lend themselves to something a bit wild and earthy, the space manages to be meticulous. I've stopped on my way into town for a hostess gift and on my way out for something to put on my windowsill. Pricey, yes. Worth the splurge though.
