I happened upon Little Pickles by accident, having taken interest in the upcoming Chocolate Festival held in Red Hook. I saw a post about this impossible to resist personal serving of "whirled chocolate" in a sleek glass jar that came with a little bamboo spoon, how brilliant! It was available at Little Pickles during the festival, "what is Little Pickles?" I wondered. Well, I had one look at the ethereal nature murals that covered each wall with such artistic inspiration and I just had to know more. I found endless wonderful words about the space, and it's attentive owners, Laura and Rebecca in their reviews online. When I actually took the trip from Kingston to check it out with interest in having my daughter's birthday party here, I wanted to stay forever. I could just imagine growing up in a magical place such as this with the squirrels, deer, birds and even the cute bear rug as my friends! So many wonderful costumes, a "tree house" indoors, with a little hang out nook underneath you can read next to a gnome by! Endless art supplies to create whatever your heart may desire, and just outside the door in the very same place, a sweet shop and toy store. A place where creativity and wonder rule the land. This was the easiest party we have ever had to plan. Rebecca and Laura found out from Marielle what her favorite things and colors were and specifically went about to get balloons, paper supplies and decorations to suit her personality. We arrived to her name glowing on the blackboard in bright colors with balloons flying high. Little Pickles provided pizza, juice boxes and waters, even candles for our cake! Laura and Rebecca were awesome at being welcoming from the first phone call and were always in great contact leading up to the party date. Though we took care of our own entertainment, I have read nothing but wonderful things about the activities Little Pickles provides for those who are interested in the full package! Activities, Music Presentations, Animals, Face Painting and more are offered so don't forget to ask about all the wonderful things that go on! I would highly recommend having a birthday party at Little Pickles. My daughter turned 7 and I would say that for us 8 children was the perfect amount of guests for the space, we had a 'drop off" party with 6 adults in our family attending, and they are able to provide for up to 12 kids in this space. Don't forget to go over to their website for up to date information on classes, programs, parents night out, family time and more! SWEET PICKLES! ;) read more
