Quaint and unique stores in a picturesque downtown setting? Let’s explore Rhinebeck, New York.
When Sarah and I visited Rhinebeck last month, we made sure to set aside some time for shopping. Because, well, shopping. And Rhinebeck’s downtown is just too cute not to explore. The shopping area was very convenient to the hotel we were staying at and we.walked.everywhere.
Our fitbits were very happy that weekend.
Blue Cashew
This was first store that we popped into. It is full of gorgeous kitchen and dining room must-haves, but unfortunately the price tags are a little on the high end. I oohed and ahhed over this gorgeous gold sparkly flatwear set. Until I saw the price tag of $96.00 for the set (I wish you could buy individual pieces, I would have been all over that!). If you’re looking for one-of-a-kind items that you won’t find at your local Target, this is a great spot to check out, and perfect for wedding and housewarming gift-giving needs as well. The shopkeeper had an adorable dog behind the counter that I spent some bonding time with, and then we were on our way.

I loved this store, and I think it was my favorite of all our stops. At the time, I was still in present-buying mode for Madeline’s (then) upcoming birthday, and this was a great place for it. Such a beautiful assortment of stationary, art supplies, books, cards, gift ideas, and more, and I left with a very full bag.
