As a supporter of local business, I found Beckon to be a boutique full of wonderful gifts hand crafted by local and regional artists . The shop is located in an 1800's row of buildings along the historic Rondout waterfront.
Some of the wonderful gifts include sculptural pearl earrings, totems from the Canadian provinces, silk screened lavender pillows, hand made greeting cards, fine art, the amazing animal dolls of Richard Palan, silk scarves and so much more. Maryann makes shopping such a pleasure in her store, and has helped me find gifts for the people on my list. Stop by and support the arts and local business when you shop, and tell her Patti sent you!
Pros: nice variety of items and pleasant atmosphere
Cons: she needs a bigger shop!
