Parking is usually painless, either on Main (Route 7) or the cross street (Bridge Street). Though…read morethere's always something new (newly-offered, not newly-made!), there are also some touchstones that you can bet will be there. They have, for instance, a very impressive collection of artisan glass, a huge assortment of cameos from the Victorian period to the mid-twentieth century, a large offering of vintage kitchen textiles from the 1920s-1950s, and they usually have true antique furniture (meaning, more than a hundred years old) in their second room. I have been coming in to browse and buy at The Emporium several times a year for more than a decade. One of my favorite acquisitions is a wood and glass display case for a shaving brush company, circa 1920. The staff is pleasant and not pushy/snooty. There are many antiques venues in the area, but Emporium is a venerable institution that has stayed true to its quality without sacrificing on its customer interaction. I used to cherish the large collection of Bakelite from a local area vendor, but unfortunately, as of about five or six years ago, that vendor no longer sells there. I still pick up a few pieces now and then, but nowhere near the quantity I used to find, and that's not Emporium's fault (that vendor stopped dealing in Bakelite entirely). I have gone out of my way to visit Great Barrington just to stop at Emporium, and certainly if time permits, to then visit some of the other fine/small/contemporary arts stores on Main afterward!

Called to ask about my engagement ring needing to be resized from a 8 to a 6. Phone is answered ,…read more"Laurie Donovan Design..." I respond, "yes, I'd like to know if you do ring resizing?" I hear, "ugh" click. I was hung up on. So I call back. Business, "Laurie Donovan Design." Me, "Hello, how are you today?" Business, "who is this" Me, "a customer who wants to ask a question in regards to your business." Business, "oh.. Yes?" Me, "yes, I would like to know if you resize rings?" Business, "oh..um..yes we do." Me, "ok, great. Do you resize in store or send it away." Business, "we have a workshop here so we do it here." Me, "wonderful. I have a ring the is size 8 that needs to be brought to a size 6, could you give me a estimate , even a rough estimate of how much that would cost?" Business, "no. I'd need to see the ring." Me, "oh.. OK.. Well it is an engagement ring that needs to be down sized there isn't a rough estimate you can provide? A size 8 to 6.." Business, "no. I need to see what work will need to be done on the ring so I will have to see it." I felt like I was calling someone's personal line and felt very uncomfortable and attacked during the conversation. I asked Kay jewelers, Jared's, on the spot repair, zales, and more they were all able to give me a quote. This woman was rude and extremely unfriendly. I wouldn't go there if it was the last option. I'm very upset with how I was treated. I was polite from the beginning and felt I bothered a woman at her home instead of calling a business. I highly recommend finding someone else.
