They should be called Gaslighter. I still have PTSD from when I tried to report a libelous coworker…read more(who actually confessed to me her tendency to falsely disparage my work, a characteristic which I can document she shares in common with the office person) and, rather than bring her in to explain her actions which I came to report, her two supervisors stood over me with unmistakable grins on their faces (and you can hear it in the audio recording which I can produce) telling me I was making "accusations", that I was wrong (again without even calling in the allegedly libelous coworker), and ultimately firing me (still grinning monstrously). And then later (after I scored them on Google reviews) they would try to pretend that I had been scaring them. So yeah, this is easily the most toxic organization I have ever worked with. As a self-taught student of, and for this purpose a periodic participant in, cults (see the BITE model or simply look for the narcissist on top [that is, a person who never sincerely compliments others unless they have some mechanistically strategic reason]), I find that "Lamplighter Ministries" (or rather LAMPLIGHTER INTERNATIONAL INC) is nothing if not a hierarchy of delusional and/or sociopathic radicals, but they get away with it (leaving aside for the moment the possibility of hidden ties) because they hide their wackier doctrines behind more mainstream Christian teachings paired with banal pop culture to diffuse critical thinking. (Oops, didn't work on me.) UPDATE: I made the original Google review after, as I narrate above, they physically intimidated then fired me in retaliation for reporting a coworker trying to add lies about me to my weekly employee review then admitting she'd lied. Their whole game had then become one of faking that they were afraid of me when it was they who had physically menaced me, while I was seated the entire time (you read that correctly) and kept answering their repetitive questions and correcting their repeated misstatements during which they, standing, cornered me. When they saw this Google review, Lamplighter's top person breached a contract with me as well as evicting me their tenant (the tax record showed that the house was owned by "Lamplighter Ministries Intem" ["I-n-t-e-m"]) WITH ONE HOUR'S NOTICE (see photo of text message) prior to the end of our verbal contract. It was totally worth it though. This breach of verbal contract was no sort of isolated incident: I've documented daily-plus falsehoods often secreted until my Friday "performance review" charade, always defaming and disparaging my work or character, clearly threatened by my vastly superior skill set (in both typography and general bindery) but unable to admit it to themselves. And then this Emmy-worthy cast of characters turns around and feigns shock about this review. Delusional prima donnas to the last. When I complained and the peace officer wanted to speak with their leader, the latter got into his rancher costume and even walked bow-legged. I've never seen such a con-artist-level fear of truth in my life. I am starting to talk with public officials and find my experience corroborated and my suspicion that they never wanted to hire me long-term very nearly confirmed as well.

I stopped at another store (Touch of Grayce) in Geneseo, who happens to know the bookstore owner very well and they gave me the website for the online bookstore. I was very excited to be able to support a local bookstore in this manner post COVID. https://bookshop.org/shop/sundancebooks I only ordered books listed IN STOCK at Sun Dance. I did not order any new books or upcoming books. I did this on Friday 8/21. On Monday, 8/23, the email updated with a tracking for the package showed they printed a label (which conveniently converts it to shipping in your email, which is NOT accurate). It is 8/26 now and they still have not shipped the books, the package is still listed as having a shipping label printed. Incidentally, I live exactly one town over. These books aren't going a distance. I thought I would support local, instead of a chain bookstore or the big book jungle. If I needed these books quickly, I would be sorely disappointed. I doubt I will order through them again.

Miraculously, the owner knows every book like an old friend and can put his hands on it for you, pull together a selection based on topic, or source and find it for you. Places to sit and read.

Finally I love the location, in the heart of a beautiful Perry, NY, so this bookstore can be woven into a larger destination of shops, food and beverage, and near letchworth park and Silver Lake.

The shop moved in 2024 and is now 3 stores in one, featuring quilting, wool, and needlework. It's a lovely, colorful, creative space! The needlework focus is mostly cross stitch plus a small section of painted canvases upstairs. There are countless finished models on display, and the chart selection features many traditional, primitive and sampler designs. The shop offers a wide selection of thread lines and hand-dyed linens. The wool section is excellent and includes a good selection of small kits. There are many separate rooms and displays, and you can linger and enjoy them at your own pace. I was happy to purchase the Hobby House Landing sampler, which is an antique sampler adaptation.

She never expected to find a store with such great selection of wool felts and wool pieces. The store was huge and very sewing craft focused, with embroidery, quilting, and wool felting materials. It's pretty a niche hobby shop because it exclusively caters to these kinds of projects (as opposed to knitting, crocheting, etc). It has everything you could think of for the types of sewing hobbies that the store caters to, however. Highly recommend a visit for anyone into sewing crafts! Everyone working there has their own crafting specialty and is very knowledgeable about it.
