Walking on the front porch, rocking chairs, and knickknacks, into the front store you are greeted by walls, full of candies, hot sauces, jams, jellies, and even some pet treats.

The farmer's omelette was loaded with all the fixings and the coffee hit the spot. The other girls enjoyed the chunked monkey. This spot gave us Crackers Barrel Vibes which we also enjoy going to.

That sweet tie dye dress in the window? MINE! There was also a super cool leather woven bag in the window, too. Maybe next time. Melinda (I hope I got her name right?) the owner is dripping with style and great taste. She looks like a fashion designer. Good news: you too can look like Melinda, because her racks are filled with tons of dresses, tops, pants and skirts...natural fabrics and so pretty. She also has eye wear...like REALLY COOL eye wear. Awesome home wares, too. And I bought a super special candle that will always bring me back to Hudson when I light it. Smells like fancy pine. Also! Everything in there feels fancy, but it's affordable. Looking forward to seeing what she has for me next time.

There is only one negative I have found after almost a year of visiting this shop: the staff seem to dislike the customers. There is never a smile or a hello. They seem like they'd prefer to be a million miles away than working there. The last time I went, I asked for the staff to get me something from the showcase, I apologized for making her stop what she was doing to get it and she gave me the death glare. Another person noticed and mentioned it to me. I wish I could give it 5 stars but I think management has to improve to have happy workers.

My mom is my source of all things gardening, and she told me to go to Story's. I looked up the website (which is great) to see what they had in stock. Under "fruiting plants" in nursery stock, I found what was basically a comprehensive list of all the fruit I could think of...so we just decided to head over and take our chances. When we arrived and walked around a bit, I realized that they actually HAVE pretty much everything on that comprehensive list, because this place is massive and awesome. I don't think I can possibly list all the things they've got, but I feel pretty confident saying that their selection is better than anything you might find in the surrounding area: Trees, shrubs, evergreens, bushes, perennials, herbs, succulents, conifers, flowers, vegetables, vines...you want plants, they've got the plants. They've also got all the garden supplies you need...plant food, fertilizer, seeds, pesticides, tools, a gorgeous selection of pots, and hooks, and garden gnomes, and more. I didn't know I needed netting to keep the birds from eating my blueberries, but they did, and they've got the netting you need. I should note that my mom frowns on netting your berries, as she believes we need to share with the birds...but she's just a much better person than I am.

Definitely not Thrift Store prices. But get ready to spend dollar, dollar bills on Antique finds…read morehere. I'm always on the hunt for a good deal on unique and bizarre finds. That being said, I didn't score anything. Located in Central Ave on the north-bound lane- Nana's is small and has an impressive collection of Antiques. Quick and pleasant chat with the owner(?) who mentioned a couple of sales and their upcoming 40th anniversary on the block. If you're looking for champagne flutes on a beer glass budget- this isn't for the trifter in mind. But do spend a little time though- going through piles of costume jewelry, small metal furniture plus other uncommon finds.

A shiny aqua Vespa sat in the sunny parking lot. Once inside, it's floor to ceiling and every nook of space inside countless curios of treasure. Tiny apothecary bottles with 19th century medicinal "cure" labels; taxidermy specimens of all sizes; antique plates; shaving brushes; modern swords, shuriken, even a batarang; glassware smoking paraphranelia; and a delightful selection of canes. The second room contains a wondrous wooden dry bar with red velvet and iron barstools where the owners sometimes sit with friends. Swords and animal heads are mounted on the walls. If you are looking for a moose head to complete your Murder By Death homage haunted house, you can get one here.

Plus, proprietor Dave is extremely welcoming and is willing to answer questions about the merchandise and to wrap up your presents.
