So I just had a very interesting experience at Echo. I'm here visiting from the city for my mini…read morevacation and kept hearing rave reviews about this place. The family I'm staying with also suggested I check it out. It's my last day here and I wanted to check it out before I left because I heard they have really cool old school toys (which I collect), cool clothes, and bras in my size! I waited until they were open but no one was there so I decided to walk around and come back a little later. Upon entering I was not greeted. Not a big deal though because I can be pretty shy and wanted to browse around. I soon felt uncomfortable; like I wasn't welcome but I brushed it off. It's a feeling POC unfortunately often feel when they're shopping in unfamiliar areas or shops. I wanted to give the woman at the register the benefit of the doubt. I found a cool harmonica that I wanted to gift my boyfriend but was being indecisive about what else to get I remembered the bras! I went to check them out and then I stumbled upon the sale section and that's when the woman at the register basically ran up on me. She said to let her know if I needed help with anything. It was completely bizarre because it was clear she came over just to see what I was doing. There were a few other people in there and she passed by them and didn't ask them if they needed anything. It was so clear in my mind that she thought I was trying to steal that dumb ass harmonica or anything from that janky store. The bras were overpriced, the clothes were honestly hideous and not for anyone under the age of 40. The toys and books were ok but nothing really jumped out at me. Except this woman. It was a very uncomfortable experience and when I went to pay for the items (yes I got the damn harmonicas) she gave me full on attitude. No smile, very condescending "you're welcome" after I thanked her. Just all around bad attitude as if she was the one being followed. I would beware if you are a POC. I didn't get the woman's name but she was probably a SWF, pudgy and had dark hair.

I was wearing completely the wrong size and it was amazing what the difference was once I got an appropriate bra on! I will also say that previously I have bought several dresses that are high quality here. The kids side of the store has a great selection of toys, books and a super cute jewelry.

This shop is so up my alley. Someone once referred to me as an old soul and I still think it's the…read morebest compliment I have ever received. Clearly the folks running this place are old souls. Not only can you tell from what's on the shelves and hanging on the racks, but in the first 2 minutes of conversation with them. They genuinely believe in what they're doing - providing things you only have to buy once to get you outside and enjoying it. No game boys here! What a great feeling the minute you walk in - like going on vacation. My blood pressure goes down the minute I cross the threshold. The high-quality responsibly-made merchandise is reasonably priced and the owners back their stuff up. Recently I bought a yeti cooler for my husband and Patagonia for my daughter. For me - it's the smart wool socks I love most. Every time I go in I find something we can't live without. My dad is the hardest person to get a gift for. No joke 90% of anything he receives gets sent back. However, give him a gift certificate to Old Souls and he can't wait to get there to spend it. Fabulous place and people!

In a time when we are surrounded by giant chain retailers and automated, fast fashion, places like…read moreBeetle and Fred are a true gem. I stumbled upon this shop after doing a little research looking for local yarn shops after moving to the Hudson Valley. I didn't know what to expect, because I've been to some small yarn shops that were not all that friendly or inviting. The shop is conveniently located right on Main Street, Beacon. It's a great area to talk a walk around, especially on the weekends (Farmer's and Flea Markets on Sundays!). Parking is ample, even on weekends. I've always been greeted warmly at Beetle and Fred. The staff is always so friendly and offer great advice and recommendations. I never really did much sewing before visiting, but the shop offers an amazing selection of top quality fabrics at fantastic price points. Can you get cheaper fabrics and yarn, etc? Sure, go to any giant chain retailer. But will it be of the same quality and design? With phenomenal service to back it up? Absolutely not. They also offer some noteworthy local classes and workshops - be sure to check their website for a schedule of upcoming events! Beetle and Fred is always a stop when I'm in the area - even if I walk out of there with nothing, it's always a pleasant visit. Whether you're interested in learning a new hobby, or a seasoned veteran, I would give them a 5/5. I would definitely recommend to both beginner and experienced fiber crafters alike.

It is a very adorable shop for the crochet hobbyist, embroidery enthusiast, and avid seamstress dressmaker. Books are available for purchase, but I do not believe there are any beginner instructional step-by-step books with photos or sketchs. I believe the books available for purchase are theme, advanced stitches or how to make hats, scarfs, and gloves possibly for profit as personal gain. There are also a small amount of embroidery tools of thread and including small 4 inch wooden circular embroidery hoop. Oh! In my youth I embroidery as a amateur craft which was a very laborious task, ergo I abandon the craft. I have the large 14 inch circular wooden embroidery hoop from the former F. W. Woolworth Company. There is a small selection of ribbon velvet, grosgrain, organza but I was seeking double-sided satin ribbon of .25 inch. There is a small selection of buttons. I believe classes are available in the rear of the shop. It is here at Beetle and Fred my party of six were greeted for good customer service.
