It's so cute, well stocked and priced, and has amazing gifts for everyone, from the foodie friend to the bearded boyfriend, to the dog mom or dad in your life. You'll be the talk of the holidays when you tick off your gift list at Cocoon! From the silly socks with literary quotes to the immense selection of unique cookbooks, and the gorgeous locally made jewelry, we spent a good half hour browsing around the small but well organized shop. The shopkeeper was pretty low key, which was actually a refreshing change from the folks in stores who follow you around or ask you how you're doing every five seconds. I'm trying to buy a present for my cat, Virginia! Leave me be! I hope to come back here for the slew of fall birthdays and special events in my squad for the inevitable present hunting trip. It's definitely the best place to shop for all my weird pals! :)

Since I had a beige+grays+black+white minimalist color grouping going with Christmas ornaments I'd…read morepurchased at Home Goods, I wanted to fill in the gaps in my 8' tree with vintage pieces in those same tones to add character and charm. Plus, I always love mixing old and new items in my home decor because it just feels more personal and layered for me. That's where Isabella's Treasures in New Paltz came in around late Fall '24. I wanted my tree dressed in time for Thanksgiving dinner. Yes, I'm that person who puts up the tree at least the day before and lights it during dessert time to kick off the holiday season. To my surprise, Isabella's had exactly what I was looking for: vintage ornaments in the perfect colors- each one unique, full of soul, and priced reasonably in the $4 to $8 range. Totally worth it for pieces I won't find anywhere else. The shop itself is a cozy treasure trove, filled with everything from jewelry, textiles, to jewelry boxes- both new and vintage. There's also an attached room with vintage board games and clothing (though I'm not sure if that's part of Isabella's Treasures or a neighboring vendor). Isabella herself is a doll- super helpful, warm, and even gave me some background stories on the ornaments I purchased. It made the whole experience feel extra special, like I was taking home tiny heirlooms with their own little history.

Unable to find an alternative, I returned to the shop to find something to take back to our hotel room. I was offered a cheese plate and gratefully accepted. When I came up to pay, I realized that it was on a metal tray. I apologized and told him I needed it to go. "That would have been great to know before" the proprietor said coldly. He said let me ring these people out and I'll put it in a bag. Having already paid, I stood there feeling wretched, looked at the young couple at the register and said "lunch is on me" gave them the tray, and left the shop in tears. I was grieving the loss of a loved one two days ago, and all I needed was courtesy . It was in short supply there.

Buyer Beware. In my past 30 years of various home improvements and renovations, I've usually been…read morevery happy with the people and businesses I've dealt with. Marigold Home was a glaring exception. If you buy something in the shop, with a price tag on it, you'll be fine. But if you get into any ordering with them, WATCH OUT! I attempted to buy Hunter Douglas window treatments from them. I'd bought them for our apartment in Brooklyn and was very happy with the entire experience. The experience with Marigold Home was completely different. Most businesses, when you're placing a special order, will write up a quote, detailing what you're purchasing and how much you'll pay for it. Not Marigold. They don't want to give you that because they say people might take that and go elsewhere for a better price. It was my mistake for not stopping right there. I allowed myself to be gullible and believe they were an honest business. After they took my deposit and placed the order, only then, and only after I requested it three more times, was I given a printed quote. Even then, it wasn't as detailed as what I'd gotten from the dealer in Brooklyn (L.W.P. Home Products) before they'd asked for any money from me. Just to assure myself Marigold's price was somewhere in the ball park (because it had seemed so expensive right from the start), I submitted a request to LWP, without telling them I'd already had a quote, because I didn't want LWP to give me a competitive quote, just the usual quote they would give. They did so right away, and it was literally HALF the price Marigold was charging. (I called LWP then and told them what was going on. They said they could arrange a local installer to do the installation. If only I'd called them first, I'd never have had to have this awful experience!!!! But of course it was too late by then, as I'd already been fleeced of my deposit.) Most, if not all, Hunter Douglas dealerships give discounts off the "Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price." Not Marigold. Not only don't they give any discount, they also add exorbitant installation costs ($400 for approximately one hour's work) and "freight" charges (around $200) that I wasn't charged for by the other dealer. In the end, I was so disgusted with Marigold that I didn't take the shades. I paid the deposit, which covered their costs with Hunter Douglas, their "freight," Maria's time in coming to my house to measure my 7 small windows (four of which were all the same size anyway), and left enough over for Maria and her husband to have several expensive dinners out. That was about $1500., but it would have cost me another $1500. to have the shades. It was a painful and expensive lesson in being gullible, but I will never make that mistake again. I will eventually deal with the shades the way I have in the past, by going to Home Depot and ordering shades which I will install myself. Unfortunately. There are other local dealerships for Hunter Douglas - and whatever other products Marigold Home carries - and I strongly suggest you check around before ordering anything from Marigold.
