I still have bowls of his that I purchased 30 years ago while a student at Vassar College. His work has a Japanese painterly aesthetic. I highly recommend you stop by if you're visiting the area.

We had guest visiting and we always pass by this place so we thought, why not give it a shot!? It…read morewas a cold rainy day so we ran in not knowing what to expect. I think this is an awesome distillery and I can see it being even more fun in warmer weather! This place is know for whiskey and rye. It's cool because they do sampler in a little vile glass which I think is creative. Their cocktails were also super delicious! The service was great! It's seems that they definitely have regular customers that come in. It's not too big of a spot but there was a lot of seating both tables and around the bar.

A nice whiskey distillery with a bar/tasting room and nice outdoor seating by the stream. I love…read morethe beautiful ambiance of the outdoor seating area - its flanked by trees and you can listen to the gurgling sounds of the stream while enjoying your drinks. This distillery is also has grounds you can walk around and explore (not too big though). We took a peek at their aging/storage room with wooden casks while there, as well as their distillery. We were treated to a free, small sample of their whiskey at their bar. Its a nice stop when in upstate NY area.

I thought I properly protected a minimalist, blonde wood frame before we moved from White Plains to…read moreThe Catskills- but when I started unpacking my picture frame boxes, one of them had a nasty break during the move with the company we hired. I've had luck in the past taking pictures frames to my local Michael's in Westchester, but now that I'm up here, I wanted to support a small business. Valentina Custom Frame & G. on Main St in New Paltz has its own parking lot- which makes it super easy if you can't find any parking on the strip. Between modern, rustic, wood, ornate and other frame styles, this small shop, showcases at least 100, 200+ (if not more) samples to choose from. Valentina aims to please because the moment I came here with a desperate look on my face and showed her the frame, she eased my worries and explained what how she'll fix it. At $25 to fix my frame- not only did I get a banging deal and she brought my frame back to life- but she's professional and passionate about all things frames.

Valentina took the time to understand what I was looking for and walked me through the various…read moreoptions. One item I wanted framed was the embroidered section of a pillow my mom had made. She was able to extract that section and insert it into a beautiful frame that highlights the embroidery. The quality of the frames and the framing itself is fantastic and clearly above what you would find if you tried to do it yourself or went to a Michael's. Plus I now have the peace of mind that my mom's artwork is preserved forever.

As a avid scrapbooker and greeting card specialist myself, I find it interesting as a friend purchased a heart-shaped rose quartz pendant for me. In the summer months, Crafts People expand their selling space outdoors (with weather permitting). Disappointedly my friend and myself were not served apple cider. I do not believe credit cards in any form are accepted.

Crafts People has about 3 buildings and each, are filled with unusual gifts. One building highlights their candles and soaps. Main building houses their jewelry- from brass-made, sterling, beads, bracelets, etc. Another building, has woven items and other knick-knacks. Crafts People showcases local artists and their unique creations. We stopped by and picked up a necklace for our daughter and my hubby surprises me with a funky Copper and Turquoise necklace. Mary was so sweet and wrapped our daughter's necklace in a gift box. The attention that Crafts People gives, is always top-notch. Thank you- as always.
