Lisa Nortz is the owner, designer and silversmith. She is second generation having learned the…read moreskill from her parents. The store is a hidden gem in the woods in Croghan, NY. The store inventory has a variety of beautiful bracelets, necklaces, rings, earrings and her famous "baskets". As you shop you can watch Lisa work on her next piece. The business website doesn't have everything she has available for sale but she does do live Facebook sales and she is on Instagram. I purchased a gorgeous link bracelet and it was so difficult to chose which one I wanted. Lisa can make a custom design for any requests and she has a selection of weight, length and width to all her pieces. She is extremely knowledgeable and it's fun to learn how she made each piece. The prices are very reasonable and all pieces are one of a kind. I'll be back and I highly recommend checking out her site and scheduling a visit if possible!

I don't like how they put color together instead of sizes. When they had their pants together by…read moresize, you could go right to your size and look through them in a short period of time - now I have to go thru hundreds of pairs just to find a pair my size - needless to say - I never buy pants anymore because I don't have hours to look thru them. Some of the stuff, unless you get the 1/2 price tag, you can buy brand new at Walmart. The Urban Mission's prices and sorting are soooo much better.

This place is worth stopping by if you're passing through. Tons of shoes and clothes, most of…read morewhich are meticulously arranged by colors. There are several very long shelves of books that are all probably between five and ten years old. Small selection of long dresses. By the entrance at the cash register there are a lot of interesting sunglasses and watches. This place is big, just nothing very special about it.

Heather is the best. She is so friendly helpful and sweet! They have the best selection of hoodies…read moresweaters and tshirts on the at Lawrence. Everything can be customized with "the river" the name of your boat, the nautical alphabet, your family's island, your university, she has river patches, etc. etc. you get the idea :) you'll just have to pop in to see it and design something yourself! it's such a unique store and has something for every shape size and age. From itty bitty baby onesies to a sweater for gram to keep cool on a chilly river night. Freighters is great for gifts, for an out of town guest, a boat lover, your family or friends or even yourself. (You can spell out just about anything on the items in the store) I'm telling you, you won't be disappointed. She carries lots of brands, colors, fabrics and styles to cater to everyone. So get your heinie in there today to scoop up some cute river gear. (With or without your boat's name, your family's cottage or "the river" monogrammed on your item, the clothes are cute and a great quality for a good price)

Super cute 1000 islands gear and patches. Snagged a precious "river kid" cardigan for my baby girl…read moreand a river queen tee for myself. Super nice and helpful staff and the pennant collection on the wall adds a little nostalgia.

Any time I'm in a new city I visit the local used bookstore. Wasn't sure any would be open during…read morethe covid-pocalypse, but I stopped by anyway. They had a table set up at the door doing "take out" service, i.e. you say what author/genre/topic you are interested in and they bring up a small pile of books for you to look at. Got a nice stack of seven or eight sci-fi novels (it would have been more, but it has to fit in my carry-on when I fly home). Nice to see a small business finding a way to operate safely even in the current circumstances.

You are immediately hounded by a customer service rep about your military ID, then half the time asked again in the middle of the transaction. It's been what a year and the self-checkout still doesn't accept cash? You have to go to customer service for cash, which doesn't help when the store is open 2 hours earlier but self-checkout only. Some people still carry cash consistently. The commissary can take cash at self-checkout, Walmart can, and Target can, what's taking so long?

A conversation with the lady behind the frame counter was like a root canal. I try to support local businesses rather than, say, Walmart, but when you won't even tell me the prices of your basic black frame with a 2" matting, then I certainly can't support you, recommend you, or buy anything from you.
