3. Stuart’s Farm, Granite Springs, New York
Here is my friend Ann with the owner of Stuart’s Farm, Betsy!
Family-owned since 1828, Stuart’s Farm in Granite Springs, New York is rustic and lovely. Recently, I braved a rainstorm and took a trip to Stuart’s Farm to shop; the beautiful annuals and perennials I purchased were well worth the trip. Betsy, the owner of Stuart’s Farm was so kind, she even brought some of her homemade cookies to us while we were making our selections; it doesn’t get better than that!

1. Roux Roux Gallery, Brookyln, New York
A while back my husband and I visited our friends Steve and Anita’s gallery, Roux Roux, in Brooklyn. Stephen Vaubel, Steve and Anita’s son assists in coordinating events and organizes gallery details.
Steve Vaubel of Vaubel Jewelry designs creates wonderful pieces of jewelry in silver and gold overlays with semi precious stones. They have a cult following for their exquisite designs and I have been a major fan for many years. Their pieces have a handcrafted, sophisticated feel. I love the chunky substantial really special feel of their pieces.
Exploring and indulging in new experiences is good for the soul. If you happen to stop by one or more of my favorite places, I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
