It would be hard to find a better yarn store if you are any kind of knitting or crocheting crafter…read more I have been both since my nanny taught me to knit when I was about 5 years old. Since then, I have made hundreds of items, mostly knitting, but crocheting and weaving too. I have also woven my own textiles with a loom. So, when I stumbled into this store the first time I was in the five-college neighborhood, I felt as if I had gone to THE yarn supplier of the ages. And I still feel that way. I only work with wool fiber, which means each project is a bit costly and the finished item needs continual vigilance and care to keep it clean and moth-free. But, it is worth it as nothing takes dye and holds it for years, like wool. I actually have an afghan that my grandfather bought from a patient who made it over 100 years ago and it has not faded. (It is a bit dry, though, lol). So, when I decided to make a knitted blanket last Spring from one of my favorite yarns by Noro, I knew the only place I could order dozens of skeins of Kureyon in different colors was Webs. The reason is, most yarn stores, if they still exist -- they do tend to go out of business, sadly, regularly -- will only sell Noro yarns in bulk to you and they have to order them, which takes a lot of time. Webs has them in stock, all the time. I underestimated the number of skeins I needed for this blanket and was able to order extras several times from Webs, with no problem. They have wonderful discounts for buying multiples, carry every kind of yarn you can imagine, and get them to you quickly, well wrapped. What more would we want? I am also thankful that they are still here, thriving, through it all after so many years. Thank you, Webs!

Last year, while visiting with my dog, we had a leash mishap. I was mortified, but the owner was very understanding about it, and willing to work with me on a way to pay him back. If they haven't already put a "No dogs allowed" sign on the door, it's best to leave your pup outside or at home.

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 separate and apart from the museum. So forget the oversized pencils and postcards racks- what you'll find are unexpected gifts, stylish homeware items, metal jewelry, garden stuff, leather goods, Can-Can French posters and more in this shop. We got our hands on an $18 metal hanging bird bath, ornamental metal hooks for about $6 ea. and a few other things. In a nutshell, Facsimiles has it all with banging prices.

We decided to chance the drive out past downtown and it was well worth the trip; the Pottery's grounds are lovely (nice dahlias) and the shop was filled with what the Web site advertised. Multiple styles of mugs and dishes in striking and idiosyncratic glazes of many kinds. We chose sea green and (sea?) blue that the potter advised us were so notable because ground glass was scattered in the glaze; when she didn't have a piece in a glaze I wanted she cheerfully offered to glaze a piece to meet my hopes and send it on when it was ready. Absolutely worth the trip; we hope to return and add to our collection. UPDATE: The mugs we bought are excellent for coffee flavor. Know how different mugs make coffee taste different? We think these -- the big one with gently sloping-out sides and the straight-sided larger one -- provide excellent flavor. Also, dishwasher-safe, so yeah.
