Andrw Girard (the potter's cousin) runs the retail operation. The stoneware is lushly beautiful. The designs are contemporary in shape and glaze. They offer dinnerware, drinkware, small bowls and pots and some decorative items. Every piece is one of a kind and completely lovely. So far, they have offered two "lines" of stoneware, one when they first opened in the fall, and a second line this spring. The work is high quality, beautifully made, and lovely to look at. And stoneware is very durable, making it a great purchase for everyday use at home. Hopefully as this business becomes more known locally, they will be able to expand and fluorish. Their "lowball" glasses work both for drinks and as lovely small bowls for the kitchen and dining table.

I figured with such a large window, sheers were the only option. I called Michele at Best Dressed Windows. She was happy to replace the sheers if that's what I wanted, but suggested other ideas for the window. I am so glad she did! I LOVE the shades that she recommended. My whole house looks brighter, fresher, newer. Thanks Michele.

This is a stunningly beautiful boutique in lovely Saratoga Springs right off the main drag. Lily's…read morewas my very first bridal appointment, so I went in with an open mind and prepared for anything. Chelsea greeted my mom and me warmly, guided us to our private room where we sat on cozy furniture next to strong air conditioning surrounded by mirrors. Chelsea was so kind and calm as she guided me through this overwhelming process. She confirmed some questions I had filled out on the questionnaire, and then asked me more detailed questions about my vision for my dress. I told her what I thought I wanted to try, which we quickly realized wasn't for me. She brought me some strapless gowns which I didn't think I would like and it turned out I LOVED. We tried on several options trying to find *the one*. The final dress was pretty close to perfection. Even Chelsea shed a tear which was so heartwarming and really made me feel special. There was no pushy sales. In fact, she wrote down my top 3 favorites so I could look at them online, think about what I tried on, and really make a sound decision. Wedding gowns are a big financial decision so I'm grateful we weren't swayed one way or the other. I left that appointment feeling SO amazing. I did have 2 other confirmed bridal appointments that I had to put deposits in for, and I wanted to be 100% sure about my decision. The other appointments left me feeling nowhere near as confident as I was with Lily's. However, I did find *THE dress* at another boutique. We contacted Lily's to see if they had this exact gown, and amazingly they did! I knew without a doubt we wanted to purchase here. I live 4 hours away in Boston which complicates things a bit as I had to come home from my long weekend trip before I could come back. Thankfully my measurements were taken at my first appointment, and Laura (the owner) was wonderful in assisting me to confidently purchase the correct size over the phone. My mother graciously purchased the dress I said YES to the dress! I am so thrilled to be a Lily's Bride!

This shop is also very long & narrow, a bit of an odd layout.

I still found 2 items in clearance & 1 regular priced item that I picked up, but a lot went back on the rack because the savings just weren't as great as I would expect at a consignment shop.
