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.

Lucky for me, this gem of a boutique was across the street from our AIRBNB. I lovingly gazed down…read moreat this pretty storefront and couldn't wait to take a peek. I figured i'd stop in, leave my lil doggie out front with the hubby and scurry back out. After making the little jaunt to the store, the owner warmly welcomed well behaved dogs! In we go, pup in tow! The "peek" turned out to be an experience that touched all of my senses. So many carefully curated fun, whimsical, & necessary items. I love the fact that the store is appealing to all, but definitely tickled my Gen X senses! If you and your girls want to dress up as Josie and the pussycats for Halloween, you can get that vintage Josie and the pussycats necklace set here. 70s retro devil mask, check! Cat earrings that I just had to get, absolutely! There's a fun downstairs section that's filled with unique and retro things for the home! (Pink princess telephone, i'm looking at you!) Simply put, Owner is lovely, store is awesome. Go support, I will be back!

There's a warm and inviting vibe as you enter, and a terrific and varied assortment of books displayed nicely throughout. Additional merchandise includes flowers and other interesting gifts. (Miniature garden kits, for instance, when we were there.) And if you're lucky, you can meet the resident "grumpy" cat, Rudie. If you're up for the weekend, it's a great place to find an interesting read, along with some flowers, and certainly a must-visit on your next stop through Rosendale. I'll be interested to see if Postmark Books reminds anyone else, in its own fresh way, of the London Review of Books Store (in London, of course). Oh, and there's an equally amazing tea shop right across the street. How perfect is that?

Their tie dye collection is severely lacking compared to Groovy Blueberry, and their prices are the same. It's just a much smaller shop, with a head shop in the back. Kinda feels like any other run of the mill hippie/head shop, and doesn't feel like it's super authentic to New Paltz. Has some good tapestries and incense and kids toys, stuff like that. Good if you're not seriously interested in tie dye. Stars removed for the clerk spreading drama.

Many people walk around and take photos in front of it. There are so many beautiful things to look at around the garden, the gorgeous art and sculptures and it's just as interesting inside as it is outside. The owners do a great job of making Pondicherry warm and inviting. I often take a quick break and sit outside on the patio chairs to rest up a bit as I am walking through town. They have a lot of cool stuff but it's not a very big place. It can get a little crowded on the weekends depending on the time that you go. I'm certain you will find something that catches your eye. Go inside and marvel at it's greatness. You won't regret it. Look inside the side basement window as well. There is a an interactive art set up right in the window as well on street level. I make it a point to stop here every time I am in town.

So the week before, hubs and I scoured this tiny- but mighty shop at the corner of Tannery Brook Rd & Tinker St. in Woodstock. The size of this shop makes it cute. The location is cute. Hell, the products are cute. These ladies have a selection of minimalist-meets-unusual lifestyle and home items ranging from candles, door stoppers, jewelry, blankets, throws, outdoor mats and so much more done tastefully. This was almost a one-stop-shop place for us as we crossed some people off our Christmas list. Between the sofa pillow I got for my Mom, (2) small ceramic candle holders, a fuzzy scarf and tapered candles- things were looking good. Since my daughter's sorority's mascot is an Elephant, I also purchased her an Elephant wooden door stopper I couldn't pass up. List or not, I'd come back any other time to pick up something for myself.
