When you walk into The Things I Love, something special happens. You’re transported to a nostalgic shopping time. The 2,000-squarefoot space is curated with the most special treasures; you’ll want to lose your afternoons playing in here. Not only will you find artists like Michael Aram and companies like Barefoot Dreams, but it’s the handmade culture that stirs the soul of the shop. More than 2,500 artists have been represented for over 25 years.
At The Things I Love, you’ll find a devoted & friendly crew. Educated in all of the pieces in stock, the artists who make them and even the clients who love them. As a “brick & mortar” store, The Things I Love appreciates the shopper who needs to touch, feel and see before they buy. (An itch online shopping just can’t scratch, phew!)
While owner Sandra Szpicek isn’t new to this, she is true to this. She began her 25-year career as an entrepreneur in a small shop in Nyack in 1998, adding The Things I Love in 2000. Sandra is devoted to the idea that “Small Business” starts with your community.
Sandra has used The Things I Love to help raise money for VCS, Hospice, The Center for Safety & Change, and Big Brothers Big Sisters, just to name a few. Sandra is currently Secretary of the New City Chamber of Commerce, which she has devoted herself to for over 12 years. Stop by and say “hello.” She’ll offer you a cup of coffee while your senses are dancing through the store.
With Sandra recently back from a stint shopping new artists in Atlanta, The Things I Love is newly filled with home decor, clothing, jewelry, children’s gifts and so much more. Don’t forget about the free gift wrap!
The Things I Love is ahead of the curve when it comes to furnishing your home, too! With two designers specializing in fabric selection, window treatments, reupholstery, furniture, lighting, area rugs and accessories… you can, quite literally, find it all!
