Cute! Kinda Random! Over priced!…read more Totally geared towards tourists and trying to lure each individual family member into purchasing an item. You will find jewelry, taro cards, foods shaped stuffies, coffee mugs, iron antler hooks, toys and astronaut food. Like I said,,, kinda random Also, like other yelpers have mentioned.... 2 ladies perched behind the counter..... judging you. They were super welcoming or friendly.,, they more or less existed and gave off "talk g about behind your back" vibes. At least this don't follow you around the store,,, so there's that.

I found so many items I couldn't hold them. The service was amazing. And the prices they were so…read moregood.

My NY friend and I visited this place and I was so delighted with all the vendors and art displays…read more The chapel is beautiful with high ceilings and stained glass tall windows. Items for sale were all reasonably priced and there were around 160 vendors. It took awhile to decide what I wanted/needed to buy. Finally bought 3 stained glass flowers ($5 ea) to put in my planters and a pretty necklace ($18). I wanted another necklace but it had no price and there was no answer from the artist after the cashier tried to get a hold of them which is a shame because they lost a sale). I was visiting from another state but I hope I get another chance to go back.

Rena's is really a fantastic place - a real gem to our Northern Chautauqua area and great place to…read morenot just shop at, but ... Let's get to the address of this place first - for those familiar with the area - Route 20 in one of the main roads that go East to West - and route 20 is not known for being part of Dunkirk, but the mailing address of this store is in Dunkirk, but it's right on Route 20 between Sheridan and Fredonia. There is lots of free parking too - so don't let anything keep you away! Just take note of their hours - they are limited. Now for the selection - it is a very unique place - whether they are really old things that are restored into something new or just crafts - they are all really cool things - more country than modern. They have everything from candles to furniture. The selection is also changing all the time - you never know what you might find here. Prices seemed very reasonable to me - and what a store for those folks that are hard to buy for. It was hard for my wife and I to leave without making some purchases - and yes - more than a couple. At the start of this review I mentioned a but ... and what I mean is that it's not just about crafts and furniture and unique gifts - Rena also offers painting classes. Trust me - this isn't your typical bring your own bottle and paint something on canvas - this is making something really cool for your home - it's a bit of painting and creating all wrapped up in one - and inside the store you can see past project and upcoming projects - something you really want to check out. BTW - this little shop is also right on the wine trail with many wineries right on route 20 or close by. I do not know the owners who run this place, but I bet in time I will, because my wife and I plan on stopping in often and maybe you should too!

Mudslingers is 1/2 pottery shop & gallery, 1/2 pottery studio. The proprieter, Ron, offers pottery…read moreclasses and rents out wheels and stalls and kiln time to potters in need of a place to throw clay around. He's a laid back guy, always in clay spattered jeans and t-shirt or flannel shirt. He and one or two of his students sell their ware in the front of the shop, while the wheels and kilns are in the back. Most of Ron's pottery is functional, non-froofy earthware. Don't expect it to be super cheap; it is, after all, hand-thrown and not mass produced. It is certainly quality, and to me well worth the money. I believe that he takes special orders--need a gift for your daughter who is getting married? He very may well be able to make a set of goblets for her. Looking for a fruit bowl of a specific size? Ask him! It's possible he can throw one of the size and color you want. Mudslingers is a hidden gem behind the main street in Fredonia. Don't miss it!

I walked in here with a person with disabilities. At first, we were in a great mood thinking we…read morewere going to have a fun, creative experience until the guy working there (owner? guy with grey beard) yelled at us stating "I don't teach disadvantaged people like that". I said that I am here to guide and teach. The guy, without knowing anything about me said that I also wasn't qualified to teach him) Then, he looked at my car outside and said I was parked next to a fire hydrant and it really pisses him off. (I was properly parked in a space lined for cars next to it) He continued to yell at us, and while leaving I told him that he was discriminating against a person with disabilities and that I would notify the appropriate agency about the discrimination. I felt like I stepped back in time where people had no rights!

Stopped in here to browse on a rainy Sunday morning last weekend. It wasn't great weather to walk…read morearound browsing shops but after looking in the window at what an adorable shop this was, I had to stop in quickly. I ended up spending about 10 minutes browsing the amazing crafts, gifts, artwork, and more in this lovely establishment. The owner was even making some kind of commissioned piece at the counter when I went to pay which I thought was neat. For a gift shop on main street of EA, I expected the prices to be MUCH higher and was plesantly surprised by how reasonable they were. I ended up buying some homemade bath bombs for myself but plan to return soon to get some gifts for the holidays. This is the perfect place to stop to get gifts for everyone in your life! Lots of parking available on the street.
