This has become a must-visit spot for me when in Ithaca. You just never know what kind of weird or…read morewonderful thing you might find. As someone who owns a 110-year-old house, there are always little things I'm on the hunt for--from doorknob parts, to wood trim pieces, to light fixtures. My husband is a woodworker, so he also likes exploring the offerings for elements to incorporate in his designs. From salvaged lumber to old cabinet hardware, there's almost no end to the creative potential! On the upper floors, it's always fun to explore the furniture and fixtures (even though we rarely have room in the car to bring anything home to Buffalo). If you love old homes or old thing in general, you'll have a great time and probably make some surprising finds!

A real gem in Ithaca. In addition to doing the important work of salvage, Sara and her team know…read morehow to talk about architecture and building in ways that you won't find elsewhere. You will always find amazing things here. It is fun to just go look at things: kind of like a history lesson. I ahve found furniture, tiles, lamps, dishes, building materials and cabinets here. I have gotten cool tools. Just an amazing business not to be missed. If we ever get out of COVID times, plan a trip there to look around and be sure you go to ALL FOUR FLOORS!

The owner and proprietress of the business is extremely welcoming and talented. She has an eye for color and design. Her storefront is adorable, welcoming and completely snugged full of specially curated pieces, from mahogany serving buffet in deep grey to ragtime makeup boudoir in dazzling teal, the selection of items is sure to cover a vast array of palates. Not only are there large home furnishings, there's a wide selection of smaller decor. One of a kind lamps, hand made pottery items, vintage bowl and coffee mugs. Local honey & handmade beeswax candles from one of the oldest beekeeper in the Interlaken area are offered in a variety of sizes and prices, as well as soaps, candles and chapstick from Finger Lakes Soap Company out of Spencer VanEtten. A large variety of succulent plants in vintage dishes hand designed by local greenhouse Footshill Farm scatter about, the greens and reds of the plants creating a vibrant opposition to the beautiful muted and bright hues of the furniture they've settled upon. There's also season fair, as the holidays are coming upon us, handmade candy cane decorations and gingerbread ornaments that smell delicious enough to eat are ready to be put on the tree. The Christmas decor is also personally curated and hand chosen by the owner and is simple, yet refined. As it is a seasonal town & region, the winters keep many businesses closed. If you're in town definitely drop by to see if they're open, browse the selection. There's something for everyone at reasonable prices. Be sure to say hello to Lorie; the owner and creator.

I could've honestly spent hours in there admiring all the carefully curated items, but I was able to leave with unique gifts and souvenirs that will always remind me of my memories in the Finger Lakes.

I went into 15 Steps a few days before Christmas to buy jewelry for my wife, only to listen to the…read moresales personnel telling story after story about how dumb and clueless and pathetic the guys were who came in to buy jewelry for their wives on the days before Christmas. A quick joke like that would have been fine, but they themselves seemed clueless as they just carried on yukking it up about how stupid we men are. So, I left after about 5-7 minutes of that and don't plan to shop there again. There are plenty of other stores and online sites where I can buy jewelry.

How's no one reviewed this "gemm" yet? The Tburg community…read morehas a wonderful way of helping others and being exceedingly generous. It's demonstrated clearly with the Gemm Shop. This is a cozy, volunteer run thrift store tucked on Main street, consistently well organized with in season items. Their social media is up to date and they also run specials like "Frugal Friday" or Saving Saturday. The quality of items there is usually great, I've found numerous new, brand name items for cheap as well as cute vintage pieces and handmade odds and ends. As with every secondhand shop, it can be hit or miss, but that is sometimes half the fun. It's certainly worth a pop-in if you're in trumansburg!
