My family and I have been going to Nino for our tailoring needs for years. He's altered several…read moregowns, bridesmaids dresses, work pants, and most recently my wedding gown for me. No complaints whatsoever, and my dress fit like a glove. He was able to work with the multiple layers of tulle underneath my dress as well as the intricate bead and lacework, which was very impressive. We also got tuxes for my husband and his groomsmen for our wedding in 2015, and I absolutely LOVED how they all looked together. Great selection, and the time he spent with us during fittings was much appreciated. I will continue to see Futia's for any future alterations we may need.

Owner made no attempt to make it right, no offer of reimbursement or credit and not even an apology. I was hesitant but did ask nicely if anything could be done to make it right. The attitude was it is what it is - because of "slim pants" order. I would have expected better customer service than what I experienced given the high reviews, and that they would have high standards to make sure both jacket and pants match regardless of whether they were slim pants or not. Extremely pricey for basic black tuxedo for 1 night high school event especially if pants and jacket clearly did not match. It was pretty visible in pictures. I wouldn't recommend for future tuxedo rentals. There are other options.

However, when I called, the person who answered the phone was very rude and impatient. First, she told me that she does not take my insurance.

I decided against this business because I just had a mastectomy and don't want to risk having to deal with such an irritable, rude person.

I think it smells great and has interesting and unique items.Today I got a hobnail milk glass vase and a wire vegetable basket. I was tempted to get a Nest candle but postponed that. Their baby section is precious, with hooded towels and little soaps. Their bath section is delightful--I love the lotions and body oils; my husband bought a back sponge on a stick. From the kitchen section he purchased a ceramic-covered metal soap dish. Their paintings are unique and whimsical, like goats or owls or gnomes in forests. Lots of planters and baskets with faux plants that look real. All those fun pillows on their green velour couch makes me want to lie down with one of their books and read or take a nap! This hipster boutique is just down the street from Procters and is a nice stop after the farmers market on Sundays.

This past weekend my youngest daughter and I drove up from…read more Western Pennsylvania to visit my eldest daughter (and finally pick up the rest of my belongings). Always find myself remiscing because the house my eldest daughter lives in --- it belonged to my Grandparents. Such an enjoyable visit with Janet --- I agree that her items are easier to find and even though the space is saller than across the street. Very knowledgeable about the items she is selling and helpful to both daughters as they both picked up a different version of the stone. Even though my cdaughter s are both in thir mid are in their 40s --- I had to laugh because of the look of wonder in their eyes and unbeknownst to either one - each chose an opal. That was my Aunt Mary Ann's favorite gem. Janet is so hospitable, friendly, informative and accomodating. On the way home from Hoosick Falls, my youngest began to hint about the next time - HA!

We turned the corner off what seemed like endless Farm roads and all of a sudden A TOWN... There was a giant sign that said Home - Made jewelry 20% off, and kidding I asked "Wanna go in" to which she said YES, so we pulled over, parked and went in. We literally spent an hour with Janet in the shop, SHE IS GREAT!!! We continued to talk about Janet for the rest of our girls weekend, that I could spend a weekend with her and hear her stories & just be in her presence! I was very happy to see all the diverse items that she promotes and inspires in the middle of what might be a less than liberal area, She sells and donates the proceeds of Haitian art back to the Haitian communities. She had SO MUCH jewelry in her shop and if you would mention something she INSTANTLY knew where it was on a random table. You could spend all day in there and still not see all she had. My sister liked one thing and instantly she made it into something else. She was just great & I want to hang out with her & hear her stories! She was a great soul and really had beautiful items! She is moving across the street and we told her we would definitely come back next time we are in town.

However, I really feel like the Capital Region doesn't make it really easy for people to practice this. Yes, there are a few farmers' markets, but everything is so ridiculously overpriced, I just can't justify adding even a lowly bag of spinach into my budget. There's also an "independent" used book store around the corner from my place, but they specialize in text books for the local colleges, and are often more expensive than the UAlbany bookstore. Don't even get me started on the independent coffee houses and restaurants. It's like someone thinks that the people around here have really deep pockets. And while there surely are those people who do (politicians, etc., etc.), there are enough colleges within city limits to make the argument that there are enough people who CARE about independent business, but can't AFFORD to support them on a student budget. The Paper Sparrow gets it. Thank GOD. This is a boutique that would fit right in in Portland's trendy Hawthorne strip. Is it out of place for Albany? Hell yeah. Not so much in historic downtown Troy, which seems to have eons more personality, but it was nonetheless an unexpected treat. On a regular basis, the Paper Sparrow boasts a rotating selection of cards, bags, hair accessories, jewelry, soap, hand-spun and dyed yarn, and doodads, all (1) HANDMADE, (2) BY LOCAL ARTISTS, and (3) TOTALLY AFFORDABLE. In fact, most of their absolutely adorable necklaces and earrings could easily be passed on at other stores in the area for a cool $30+, but here, for only $10. Some really awesome and unique hair clips for less than $5. Here, you can purchase one-of-a-kind pieces at fair prices that go right back into the community, supporting local artists. Really, I love it. It's kind of like Etsy on crack. And this is the store's mission, too. I thought that maybe it was a fluke that all this adorable stuff was so reasonable. But then I checked out their website, and it was all in their ultimate plan--making beautiful, locally made things accessible to more people. Did I mention they have a gallery space in back? They do. And they have new showings every month for Troy's Last Friday event. It's pretty fantastic, and I absolutely love what this place is doing. I really hope that it's around for a good, long time, because we honestly need more places like the Paper Sparrow around.
