In the area to see the relatives and my aunt took us to visit Pairpoint, which has been in business since 1837! Talk about being around for a while! Pairpoint is America's oldest glass work company and an informative and interesting shopping experience. Watch the glass-makers create their pieces. The extraordinary craftsmanship is fascinating to watch. The Sagamore location on Cape Cod offers a chance to witness the artistry of glassblowing Monday through Friday. The gift shop is open every day of the week! The finest homes in America have displayed pieces of Pairpoint glass. According to the Pairpoint website, "glass is an art form and as such is in a continuous state of transformation. Pairpoint quickly established itself at the forefront by consistently inventing new techniques and stylistic trends that are copied to this day. In addition to the famous "puffies", Lava, Peachglow and Satin glass were first created by Pairpoint glassblowers." Pairpoint provides custom glass and crystal commemorative pieces and trophies to some of America's most prestigious sporting clubs and organizations. In 1974, Pairpoint began issuing limited edition pressed cup plates that have become highly collectible. There are now about 100 different patterns to collect. The beautiful glass ware is something to behold. I am not into buying a lot of stuff and putting it up on shelves to collect dust but that Cranberry glass was so gorgeous! You have to visit and take in the historical and artistic value of Pairpoint. Not to be missed activity on Cape Cod!

What fun! I actually wanted the tour to be longer and shop to be bigger since it was a bit of a…read moretight fit with a tour group of ~30-40 people. I loved seeing the colorful buckets of broken glass and witnessing the live glass blowing. The previous molds and items used/made decades (if not hundreds of years) ago were also neat to see and provided interesting insight to the evolution of the company. For the gift shop, I would have appreciated a few more pieces that were in the $25-50 range. There were a lot of small, inexpensive pieces at $15 or less, but then it jumped to larger, expensive pieces ($60+) with not much in the middle.

I have been wanting some Adirondack chairs and accompanying footstools for awhile. This year, I…read morebegan researching them. I wanted a particular design of Adirondack chair that I knew to be more comfortable. While they all look very similar there are differences in both the way the back slats are fanned out as well as how the seat is constructed. I ultimately opted against natural wood because they deteriorate more easily and shouldn't be left outside all year in our New England climate..those would pose a winter storage problem for us too. I learned that Polywood is a good choice in terms of comfort and durability. Unless you want your Adirondack chairs in a natural wood, the Plywood chairs come in a variety of colors which do not fade. We opted for a forest green which fits in nicely with the woodsiness of our property We have other outdoor furniture but I had a specific corner in mind where I envisioned two Adirondack chairs and footstools in a reading or conversation corner in our pool area. Sand 'N" Sun about an hour drive south of us at the mouth of Cape Cod had a great selection of Polywood Adirondack chairs. We were helped over the phone initially by Xerxes, the owner. He was helpful, knowledgeable and pleasant to work with. We had also ordered a very large patio umbrella to replace the one we have used for years over our outdoor dining table. This one is absolutely gigantic and provides greater sunshade over the table. Once we got to the store, everything we had ordered was ready and waiting for us. Xerxes and all the staff we encountered were very friendly and helpful. In hindsight, I don't know of this store carries Adirondack chair seat cushions or not. They are not entirely necessary but I had ordered some from L.L. Bean and are awaiting their arrival. The pool and patio store is actually part of an entire grouping of businesses all owned by Xerxes and family. So on the same stretch, there is also a huge gift shop....the kind everyone has seen in any tourist or beach town in America. This one was rather large with the usual assortment of t-shirts, sweatshirts, beach towels, hats, magnets, beverage glasses, all emblazoned with Cape Cod logos. There is also a soft-serve ice cream place on site along with an 18-hole miniature golf course. (I just may be the only American who has never played miniature golf and has no interest in doing so). Although it may seem like a random assortment of businesses, everything sold here is of a summer-seasonal nature. We had a pleasant and productive experience with this business. We have a pickup truck so were able to take the chairs and umbrella home with us. I am assuming Sand N Surf will deliver but we did not check out that option.

I explained my problem to Joanne and she said bring them in and we'll see if we can help. This was very generous of her since they had been purchased elsewhere. I ended up returning them to Costco instead and stopping at Sand n Surf and bought the same rockers from them for almost the same price, but fully assembled. They had to put them together for me and called me the next day, and said they were ready for pick up. This place appears to be a little hole in the wall that sells all sorts of touristy type goods, but they also do a great business as Polywood retailer. Super nice folks and extremely accommodating.

I had a budget to spend and was thinking about engaging them to help me decorate my whole house. Their portfolio looks interesting (despite similar or same items used in many houses) and I knew that hiring them would be more expensive that sourcing individual items over the internet and I was fine with that because it's the service that manners and I was hoping hiring them would save me a little bit of time. One of the ladies jumped right at me in what felt like a very non-friendly way and demanded that I sanitize my hands. They had a tiny bottle of sanitizer which was was not even visible (not a sign next to it like most shops have, nothing, it's totally unnoticeable to someone who just walked in for the first time). That lady's tone and her demeanor was so off-putting that I regretted driving there and my shopping mood was instantly ruined, so I ended up engaging a different design firm who are polite with new customers.

DONT FALL FOR IT. I decided to take them up on the offer knowing I would be spending a lot of money in their stores now that I'm a grandparent. I couldn't wait to buy everything in that store. What a disappointment. I shopped for almost an hour. Gathering about $150 worth of merchandise, I unlocked my credit reports and applied at the register which was also time consuming. I mentioned at least three times to the clerk how excited I was about the discount I'd was expecting and their rewards program. Guess what! You have to wait to get the credit card IN THE MAIL. It's not granted day-of like every other retailer does on the planet. I only learned that when the clerk asked me how I'd like to pay for the items. WHAT?!!! I was sucked into their false deal, false advertising in the extreme. Needless to say I left all the merchandise and walked out. Other customers saw what took place and one said "I don't blame you for walking out". Not a good look! By the way - that was May 9th and I'm still waiting for the card.
