From paintings with moons, to lamps made out of old ice fishing rods.... you can't go wrong. It' is hard to narrow it down to just one item, so go ahead and shop til your heart is content. Any item you choose is unique and quite individual, catered to the inner artist in each of us. Unfortunately, we live in LA area, and are limited to how much we can shop or ship. I never visit Troy without stopping by to browse, and buy. The owner is super sweet and many of the paintings are done by her mom, all the more reason to stop by and support this local business.

Cutest apothecary shop I've ever been to. This was so similar to Schitt's Creeks Rose apothecary…read more You'll find local merchant items, candles, fragrances, artworks, sage, stones, skincare products, rugs, household items, there are so much to look at. As you walk into the shop, you'll also find a cute little cafe that serves pastries, coffees, lattes, teas. There's a small seating area with a couple of chairs and tables for people to work, study, or even catch up with friends. It's a great place to be around people if you're sick of wfh.

I purchased gorgeous hand towels & liquid soaps, gifts for a friend, The store owner, Anne, is friendly, and I told her of my excitement about my flight to see and gift my friend. She made sure to alert me that unless I was checking the bag, my gift of liquid soap would be rejected at airport security. If I was only using carry-on, she recommended the 4oz hand cream which my friend adored. I was so thankful because I would have had to throw out the beautiful French hand soap that I'd just purchased! Thank you for such a personable and kind experience. This shop takes me back to kinder, gentler days of healthy main streets filled with little boutiques curated individually to reflect the human sensibility of an individual, NOT a soulless corporation. b.inspired home is a truly beautiful gallery offering vintage and new treasures. In addition to such a nice selection, I was delighted to see original paintings by a local artist. I really liked the art and was surprised at the selection of magnificent pieces like one depicting Florence and another of Aix en Provence. Wandering between beautifully curated display tables, I could not help but sing along with French Icon, Edith Piaf playing in the background. How befitting in this boutique in Niskayuna which looks like a shop that I could have stumbled upon along the French Riviera. Merci Beaucoup, Anne. Thank you for bringing this gem to our community.

But what is truly a tragedy is the fact that this business will be closing soon. Yes, the owners are retiring. If you're someone who has typically shopped at the chain craft stores and never heard of Experience then you don't know what you missed out on. Were you looking for a unique fake flower or plant to add to your arrangement? This was the place you should have come to. Were you looking to throw a special party and knew who you'd have as a caterer but had no idea who could make your settings and surroundings fit a theme or look absolutely fabulous? Then Experience was where you needed to come. Did you just want ideas on how to make a display or a corner of a room stand out with something beautiful? Yes, Experience was going to help you achieve that goal. So why am I bothering to even tell you all this since they will be closing? Well, everything is currently marked DOWN! WAY, WAY DOWN!! I almost bought things that I didn't need because they were 75% off. My wife is truly going to miss these folks. We wish them a happy retirement.

I personally like that the store has a sort of corner shop vibe although it's not exactly small. The store is airways well lit and aisles are clearly labeled, and again the staff here have been exceptionally helpful. The news BBQ section in the back atrium is impressive even if I'm not the biggest cook in the family. And I also saw a custom shirt section although by the looks of it, I may be able to customise more than t-shirts. I hope they keep improving and stay open for a long time.

When I say variety, I mean reallly variety! Dog treats, melted glass bottles, light bulb ornaments, crocheted socks, amber jewelry, a clock that runs on water, a barber chair, pasta sauce, a heart made out of wine corks, fashion clothing designed just for you, Americana, hats for Saratoga track season, sparklers, polymer clay jewelry, and artwork made out of bent forks. What this translates into is that you KNOW you will find something when you walk in, because the interests are so wide. Regarding the start-ups, it's neat for them to have a place to launch their businesses while having some support or infrastructure at the same time. I wish there were more places like this.
