Loved this store…read more It felt like a kid in a candy store for someone who loves stationery. There was a great selection of books, diaries, wrapping paper, cards, and much more. I ended up buying a daily creative journal for myself.

It's a little pricey but that's kind of typical for this area. The staff were attentive and friendly. They even offer gift wrapping services.

While I do understand that the ownership has changed and inevitably will give the store a different…read morevibe, my main issue has been that in the times I have been into this store since the change in ownership and management, the staff has been unpleasant and on one occasion in particular, made my friend and I feel very uncomfortable as she had a loud and extremely personal phone call during the entire time we were in the store without even acknowledging that we were there at all. I do think the selection has always been great, and I appreciate the emphasis on supporting local work, although that also seems to have changed a bit since the change. It is a pricey location for most things, but I do always enjoy seeing what is in the store, the card selection is consistently excellent, and it is a great place to find a gift!

There is a hand and brush cleaner that I use called: Marvelous Marianne's Savvy Hand and Brush…read moreCleaner. I can't say enough good things about it. Even if your brushes are dried out this stuff brings them back and it also easily removes paint etc. from your hands. And it's bio. I've tried to order it from Catskill AS but they won't order it saying that their supplier doesn't carry it. I CAN order it from Rhinebeck Art Supply in New Paltz and I do but Catskill is closer and I'd gladly get it from there when I purchase other items. I used to live in NYC and shopped at New York Central Art Supply and it was a pleasure and a great place. For an art supply store not to be able to order certain items is inexcusable. If you need it and it exists they should be able to order it. Bad business practice. If you are reading this try the stuff it's amazing. New Paltz will have it in the store in a couple of weeks. I'm trying to order it directly from the company. I don't think she does that because she honors businesses.

Fun and colorful shirts, toes and hoodies to gift to someone else and yourself…read more My shirts have held up well in the dryer, washed in well water and eating my way through the Capital Region. It's all made locally in Troy. The shop also has greeting cards with funny sayings and cute pictures. If you have a custom order, they can accommodate that as well. Lastly, they do have events throughout the year where you can make a t-shirt and they usually involve some kind of adult beverage. I haven't done one and that should change.

Long story short: Order local (from here), not from Etsy…read more My friends and I were considering ordering bachelorette party shirts from Etsy but were concerned about sizes fitting all members of our party and overall shirt quality. That was until we got the idea to go to a local print shop. I found Troy Cloth and Paper on Yelp and headed right there. Dave was available to chat about shirt design, shirt style options, and suggested sizing. We settled on Bella Canvas tanks which are much better than the quality Etsy offers. There was a slight communication error that delayed the design process but as soon as that was fixed I had a mock up within 3 business days. Dave was awesome about modifying my mock up to meet my design preferences. I confirmed the mock up was good to go at 7 am and my shirts were done by 7 pm. THEY LOOK AWESOME and Dave gave us a hefty discount for the communication error. Awesome customer service and easy to work with. Definitely recommend these guys for all your events that require shirts.

My wife and I were just taking a ride today and ended up in Chatham…read more There we discovered this wonderful little gift shop that had a plethora of truly novel and eye catching gifts. My wife and I spent a lot of time talking with Bob, the owner, and his partner (ugh - can't remember her name) about the history of their shop and some of the other unique places in Chatham. If you are going through Chatham make a point of stopping into this classy little shop and you will not be disappointed. Great place to visit!!

I looked up Sketch's phone number today and, in doing so, went to yelp and saw these negative…read morereviews. After reading them, I feel compelled to add my experience, which was, and continues to be, very positive. A year or so ago, I picked up a nice original lithograph from The Second Show, but it needed new glass. I took it to Sketch, where Amy not only took care of that, but touched up the wood frame, advised against changing the mat, and the total cost was more than reasonable. Very personalized service and for that reason I go in to buy art cards and cute bags and art supplies for gifts, wanting to support them. She's been helpful when I had questions - today, looking for a chalkboard for a child. Even though they don't carry it, she gave a suggestion on where I could find it and, if not, she would order one for me. (I'm no longer from Montclair NJ!)

This is a graphic design studio that did our invitations and thank you notes for our wedding. They…read morewere worth every penny. The invitations were individually hand painted so each one was unique. The thank you notes were also hand painted and incredible. Pat had a million ideas and worked with us to find the ones that suited our taste. She can do anything from simple to extraordinary (she has invites that are each a handmade box). She works with couples from all over even though she is located in a small town. Nothing but good things to say about her work.

The absolute cutest little store... I would come back to Woodstock just to visit Lovewild again!…read moreAll the goods are handmade and sustainable; they sell all types of cute cosmetic products, stationary, books, home goods, and other trinkets!

Definitely recommend making a stop here!
