You're in for a treat when you come to Reservoir Antique Mall (not far from the well-known Ashokan…read moreReservoir) on NY-28 in Shokan, NY. You'll notice is an interesting hodge-podge balance of timeless antique china, alongside rare furniture, 1970s cookbooks, vases, costume jewelry, a lot of knickknacks and perfect retro decor. Their 2nd fl., is similar with more furniture pieces. I actually found interesting decor pieces than anything. The owner and her family had a sale going on during the Thanksgiving weekend where you bought a regular priced item and got the other for 1/2 off. Best of all, the owner was willing to offer me a bargain on an item I was eyeing. This is a treasure trove and might probably leave with something. Remember, it's only CA$H, and Venmo(?).

I've been attending auctions all of my life. I have appraised and dealt in antiques and house and…read moreestate contents for fifty years. I currently specialize in fine art works of every imaginable variety from ancient artifacts to contemporary inanities, and the offspring of both deranged and enlightened minds. It has become a welcome habit for me to attend most of Eric Borjesons (28 EXCHANGE) sales. The variety of goods / speedy pace of items put up by a charming and efficient crew of handlers / is quite exceptional! Eric himself is a delightful raconteur who always will make clear his knowledge or lack thereof of the object being displayed and bid apun! He seems quite above deception (the little white lies most jaded auctioneers are addicted to) and his sense of humor is quick and (happily) a bit out of the ordinary!! Call Eric at (845)657-4206 or look his next sale up on AuctionZip.com. Join a great "Happening" and find some of the treasurers you've been looking for! Your wife will love the 9ft. pink giraffe!

We visited this flea market while we were in the village and had a fun time. First thing to note,…read moremuch of it is under trees, so there is shade as you walk around. That was a major plus. I am no stranger to flea markets, but what I loved about this one was the friendliness of the vendors. All were welcoming and willing to strike up conversation, especially about music. A great deal of finds hide here, including vinyl, China, jewelry, gemstones, print media, art, antiques, clothing, vintage, handbags, etc. There is a little something for everyone. Overall, a very fun experience. Try it out!

Tucked away in the famous Woodstock strip, is a quiet street around the corner from Bread Alone:…read moreMaple Ln. Woodstock is a diverse and eclectic town but it's also famous for its Mower's Flea Market every Saturday and Sunday in a big grassy area. Hubs and I have always made it a point every time we come to Woodstock in the last 20 years, to stop here first (out of nostalgia) before making the drive down home. Quite honestly, we've scored several hand-made pieces and a vintage Dashiki hubs had found for me. Mower's is made up of several vendors all selling something different. Over the years though, the amount of vendors have dropped. And forget about COVID last year- because it didn't take place and was weird looking at vendor-less lot when we came to the area for a day trip in the Fall of '20. But alas, Mower's is back in business and we were delighted to see more vendors (almost) recently like we used to 20 years ago. You'll find antiques, memorabilia, some kitsch- the same way you'll find locally made products. The way I see it, it's a shopping haven for me. Just make sure you get here before they close for the season in November.

The space isn't huge- but the options are almost endless and exciting here. If you're the type who loves vintage at thrift prices, you'll bring those vintage finds back to life. I recently found two white quartz(?) bookends at $6ea that may seem small- but they're heavy AF. Prior to that, I've found small catch-all trays or other items. The staff is always friendly and willing to answer any of your questions about anything. So whether you want a nostalgic vintage cardigan, a vase, tea set, this or maybe that, Castaways is one of the best thrift+ vintage shops in Woodstock that won't disappoint you.

I am a long-time customer at Castaways. I've always enjoyed the environment, the noninvasive yet…read morehelpful nature of the staff, as well as the selection of clothing and jewelry. Normally I would give the store five stars. However, my most recent experience shopping there was less than pleasant. In fact, it was notably strange. Upon entering the store my friends and I were greeted by an employee that I had never seen before. She gave us a rundown of the store while we were looking around and I politely told her that we had been there before and didn't need to be told where and what things were. That was excusable. However, the experience got stranger. I was looking through a box and found a loose pair of pantyhose that I was thinking about purchasing. The employee entered the other room where my friends and I were Coincidentally, I picked up my bag and the pantyhose and went over to another section at the same time she was entering. In doing that I think I may have set off a shoplifting alarm in her head. Without asking, she picked up the pantyhose next to my bag and told us that she was going to put them up front. I protested because I wasn't sure if I wanted her to do that. She proceeded to tell me in somewhat of a scolding tone that she was going to bring them up front (regardless of my protests) and that they should have been left in their packaging (there was no packaging). After this encounter, she kept her eye on us consistently. I tried on two dresses and she interrupted my conversation to ask me a question about the dress I had on. She also asked loudly if anyone was in the dressing room as I was clearly changing in there. I found this whole experience strange and frankly invasive. I also felt singled out because of some unfounded (and obvious) suspicion. I do enjoy Castaways and I have been a long-time patron. However, I am reluctant to go in the store again because I would not like to have another encounter like the one I had today.
