I'm so glad we caught this behind the booths on River St during the Farmer's Market. I really wanted to walk out with like 4 of their pieces but exercised some self- restraint and only purchased one. All of the pieces in the store have been hand picked and reclaimed or custom built by Sarah and her husband and she noted that all the cushions they sell were made by her mom- and they are super cute! The decor in the store itself is very appealing and all of the pieces are uniquely updated. We inquired about shipping and they're not doing that at this time but it would be a huge bonus if they did. Their prices for small decorative pieces are pretty reasonable. I can't really comment on the larger pieces since that wasn't my focus. According to their website they even won FleaMarket Flip on HGTV and it's not hard to see why! Congratulations!

Sales consultants are rude and speak to you like you're incompetent…read more We ordered a bedroom set from Old Brick Cliton park the first week of February, we were told it would be here by the 1st week of march latest. Two weeks after we ordered it, we got a call that it wouldn't be in until the end of march/beginning of April, they asked if we wanted to change our color way and get something sooner but we said no since it was very expensive, and we would have preferred to wait 2 more weeks. Now it's the end of March and I called to ask for an update (they should've called us again) and now we are told our furniture won't be here till middle of April, and then it should take a week after that to call us to get it set up. Now I understand issues with shipping and it is out of their control, but the lady was explaining it to me like I was born yesterday, she was extremely passive, and when I made a comment saying two weeks waiting to 2 months is a long stretch she quickly cut me off saying well it's not 2 months you ordered it in February, and I said well by the time it gets here yes it will be 2 months since we've ordered it, and her tone was very condescending and rude. and I have noticed this from several of their employees at this location. I don't think we'll ever buy from here again! Lack of communication on top of their condescending and rude nature, their employees need to learn how to speak to people, especially when customers are already having an issue with their orders.

There are 2 cool things about Artique Co-op: the variety that you get as a shopper, and the fact…read morethat they give all these local start-ups a place to set up shop. When I say variety, I mean reallly variety! Dog treats, melted glass bottles, light bulb ornaments, crocheted socks, amber jewelry, a clock that runs on water, a barber chair, pasta sauce, a heart made out of wine corks, fashion clothing designed just for you, Americana, hats for Saratoga track season, sparklers, polymer clay jewelry, and artwork made out of bent forks. What this translates into is that you KNOW you will find something when you walk in, because the interests are so wide. Regarding the start-ups, it's neat for them to have a place to launch their businesses while having some support or infrastructure at the same time. I wish there were more places like this.

Wits End in Clifton Park is a really neat, very expansive store. Every time I go in, I feel like I could walk around for an hour and still not see everything. They have all kinds of decorations, and if you are looking for unique Christmas ornaments or special decor pieces, this place is absolutely worth checking out. It is not just seasonal either, there are gifts and decorative items for all times of year. They even carry clothing. The prices are not cheap, but the store has an upscale aura and I personally do not mind paying more for items that feel unique and well chosen. It does not feel like a big box store, it feels more like a specialty shop where you find things you would not see everywhere else. I have heard people say the staff walk around and watch customers closely. Honestly, I can understand why. The layout has to be a security challenge, there are multiple rooms, different levels, and even an upstairs. I would imagine shoplifting could be an issue in a store set up like this. For me, the staff have always been friendly and helpful. I actually wonder how they keep track of where everything is in a place that big, that alone is impressive. Around Christmas time it gets very busy, which says a lot about how popular it is. I usually make it in about once a year during the holidays, but you could shop here anytime for unique gifts. The only thing that feels a little off putting to me is the number of signs about broken ornaments and being charged 50 percent if something is damaged. I do understand why they have them, a lot of people do not watch their kids closely and accidents happen, and adults break things too. Still, seeing the signs all over the place does change the feel a bit. That said, it definitely does not stop me from coming in. Overall, I really enjoy this store and always find something interesting when I visit.

The esthetic is historic and cute. The backyard is beautiful and a peaceful setting to spend the afternoon sipping and noshing with friends. The ladies behind the counter have always been gracious and welcoming. Full disclosure, one is my daughter. They offer a great selection of hot and cold drinks with weekly specials and the pastry case is always stocked beautifully. Fair warning, they sell out quickly! The in-house egg sandwich is particularly delicious. Light and savory and pairing just perfectly with a hot latte. They also have a cold sandwich selection of the week available in the cold case along with seasonal salads and yogurt cups. Everything I've tried has been good. My personal favorite drink is the espresso tonic offered in the summer. There is a cute retail side for gift shopping and a tiny bookstore right on site. Considering the historic nature of the building, it isn't a surprise that there is lore of resident ghosts also popping up here and there. They sell their own merchandise, put out a weekly newsletter, and absolutely have built a loyal, community-based following. It's definitely worth your time to stop in and give it a try. The only negative that I can name would be the hours. Open Wednesday thru Sunday, with no egg sandwiches made on Wednesdays. Grab and goes still available though. Also, they only sell whole quiches and not by the slice but that's splitting hairs. Give it a try, sit at the community table and make some new friends!

But what is truly a tragedy is the fact that this business will be closing soon. Yes, the owners are retiring. If you're someone who has typically shopped at the chain craft stores and never heard of Experience then you don't know what you missed out on. Were you looking for a unique fake flower or plant to add to your arrangement? This was the place you should have come to. Were you looking to throw a special party and knew who you'd have as a caterer but had no idea who could make your settings and surroundings fit a theme or look absolutely fabulous? Then Experience was where you needed to come. Did you just want ideas on how to make a display or a corner of a room stand out with something beautiful? Yes, Experience was going to help you achieve that goal. So why am I bothering to even tell you all this since they will be closing? Well, everything is currently marked DOWN! WAY, WAY DOWN!! I almost bought things that I didn't need because they were 75% off. My wife is truly going to miss these folks. We wish them a happy retirement.
