I first came across this place a few years ago when my wife and I visited the Berkshires. While…read morewalking by, we noticed several prints in the window that we thought would look great in our home. We decided to step inside and found even more things that caught our interest. They had a variety of items--jewelry, souvenirs, framed prints of artwork, comics, maps, and something I found particularly unique: framed book spines. As we browsed, the employee working there was incredibly friendly and helpful. Although we were initially on the fence about purchasing an art print, we ended up getting that along with some of the framed book spines. We recently returned to the area and decided to stop by again. This time, the owner was there, and he was just as friendly and helpful. A few years back, some coworkers had given me a gift certificate for the store after I told them about it. I had completely lost track of it, but the owner called his wife to see if she could locate any record of it--and within 10 minutes, they found it! We left the store with another large framed print, another book spine, and an enlarged, framed vintage train ticket from the Northeast Corridor. If you're ever in Pittsfield and looking for wall art or unique souvenirs at good prices, definitely stop by this cute store.

This is a great shop in downtown Pittsfield.

I really liked the oversized framed book spines of classic (and some contemporary) novels but was already $140 deep on the magnet signs lol. Otherwise I would've bought more! Added plus, the store manager gift wrapped my purchases beautifully. Would absolutely come back here next time I'm out in Western MA. Prices are (in my opinion) fair to a good value, I guess it's dependent on what your personal price point is and what you want to spend.

I have purchased their products in shops in the past, and in November, I ordered from their website due to an incredible sale. Not only did I score a slew of excellent deals, I also received the most generous bag of freebies. Shipping took only a few days. I'm a big fan of whimsical socks, and sadly, many brands at the same price point as Blue Q fail to hold up after multiple washes. I have never had an issue with Blue Q's socks. For this reason, I will only buy socks from them when I am giving as a gift.

I used that bag for everything! Then after over a decade of service, the bag itself gave out. Value? What else can you buy these days that lasts over 10 years? I just ordered another one. I hope it gives me another 10+ years of service.
