Speechless Sunday-Saperstein's in Millerton NY

Today small department stores are an endangered species.  There was a time when such a store was the centerpiece of a small town or village.

The Village of Millerton located in the town of Northeast in Dutchess County still has a small department store which has been around since the 1940's.

Saperstein's, a family owned store, is known for its service.   Customers have gone in to find an item and if not available efforts were made to get it from somewhere else.

A store like Saperstein's gives you an idea of what the community is like.  The charm of this village has not gone unnoticed.  This community has many second home residences, not a surprise because of the wide open space, and the fact that a Metro-North train station is nearby.  It is also close to skiiing resorts and just a half an hour from the Rhinebeck, Red Hook area.

Speechless Sunday-A View from Winchell Mountain in the Town of Northeast NY

Speechless Sunday-A View from Winchell Mountain in the Town of Northeast NY

Today I was traveling through the town of Northeast Dutchess County into the State of Connecticut.   It was a beautiful day and I was sitting in the back seat of the car just enjoying the scenery and taking shots as the car moved along.

On the way back we travelled up Winchell Mountain Road in the town of Northeast, this spot lies between the village of Millerton and Pine Plains.

Well, just at the top of the hill I saw the wide open fields and the mountain in the background and thought how beautiful this place was.  With the car moving I still tried to get a shot.  Here is the result.

Tea Tasting a tea lover's delight in Millerton NY

 

Tea Tasting in Millerton NY

Harney and Sons Tea room and shop is located in Millerton NY  in Dutchess County.  This is certainly a great asset to the town since it brings in people from all over.

 

While I was there for tea tasting I met a few people who had travelled several hours to have the experience.  I even heard the story of one man who came across country for the experience although the products are available for purchase on line or in fine stores.

Besides tea tasting you can purchase all sorts of blended teas, teapots  and cups.  There are also many other items to be found throughout the store.

The tea blending and packaging occurs in this facility which I had the opportunity to tour a few years ago.  The Harneys do visit Asia to make sure they are getting the best quality tea.

I was also impressed to see in their catalog that they  joined "1% for the Planet" which means they give 1% of the money derived from sales to environmental organizations.

You don't have to miss out on the experience if you are on the other side of the country because these attractively packaged teas can be purchased online by visiting the Harney's  website.  Realtors can also find the perfect closing gift at this site.

There are so many teas to choose from; herbal teas, teas to relax, decaffeinated teas, wedding teas to name a few.

  

 

Can you tell I am crazy about tea?
