BOUTIQUES ON THE WEST END


reMADE
133 Main Street

Big pieces of furniture are always moving in and out of reMADE. Their statement chandelier sold recently, so move in on this next piece in their window: an Industrial Platform Table handmade by Keith Decent with reclaimed wood from an Ohio brewery. 
Where is reMADE? Across from Tito Santana's, next to Bank Square Coffee.



Bellus on Main
181 Main Street

How adorable and festive is this red metal perforated billfold by Wendy Stevens?! It features a magnetic closure, bottom hinges, internal leather gussets and a detachable leather strap. Perfect for carrying your phone, credit cards and lipstick. Only at Bellus.
Where is Bellus? Next door to Luxe Optique.




Luxe Optique

183 Main Street
Checking out frames is just a happy experience at Luxe Optique. For example, these petite frames. You think these are nice? You should take a closer look at the glass of the lenses. We are told it is something special - almost invisible, and doesn't leave dark shadows. Apparently shadows are a thing with glasses, but not at Luxe. 
Where is Luxe Optique? Across Cliff Street from Beacon Bread Company.



 


 

BOUTIQUES ON THE EAST END
PARKING HINT: Park behind 1 East Main, by the Hudson Valley Brewery, and use the back walkway entrance to get up to street level!

Where is Style Storehouse? Near Waddle n Swaddle.




Lambs Hill Bridal Boutique
1 East Main Street, Retail #3

Hand-beaded detail with a criss-cross wrap on the front of the gown creates a slimming effect on this English net A-line gown by Lillian West. The chapel-length train offsets cap sleeves for a stunning look. Only at Lambs Hill, down the hill from the tracks in the newly renovated factory building.
Where Is Lambs Hill Bridal? Next to King + Curated!





King + Curated
1 East Main Street, Retail #2

What you see here in King + Curated are the works of two artists: Photographer Alicia King captures love stories in the Hudson Valley and can be booked for your wedding - or your current love story! On the right, designer Lauren Decker of the Curated Gift Shop offers custom wedding bands and engagement rings with an emphasis on nontraditional and modern designs. Walk-ins and special projects welcome.
Photos by Alicia King
Where is King + Curated? Near the dummy light, just down from the old train tracks in the renovated factory.

SPOTLIGHT SPONSOR HIGHLIGHTS

Antalek & Moore Insurance Agency

Our very own Marilyn from A Little Beacon Blog went and bought a condo this summer. As a first-time home buyer (or condo buyer), she didn't know where to start with homeowners insurance, and quickly discovered that it was condo insurance that she needed. Who guided her to the right coverage? Antalek & Moore. She wrote all about it here in this article.
