I recently traveled around upstate New York, driving through scenic farmland and stopping in small mountain towns for a bit of kindness… and luxury.

In Sharon Springs, I visited with Brent at the Beekman 1802 Mercantile on a behind-the-scenes tour of the showroom for their new Beekman 1802 Heirloom Furniture Collection, available now at Beekman 1802 and Bloomingdales.

When I grow up, I would love to have my very own Kindfolk Patchwork Rug made from strips and swatches of antique and vintage Turkish rugs. Each piece is a bit of familiar and fabulous, just like Brent and Josh.

Read about the values, local craftspeople and global communities that are part of Beekman 1802: A World of Neighbors: a word about who makes our products.

After spending the morning in lovely Sharon Springs, touring the showroom and eating delicious fresh goat cheese, I hit the road to Woodstock.

I stopped at Savor Spa for their grand opening. They set me up with a mini organic facial and showered me with gifts from Om Aroma & Co.

They are known for their award-winning eco-chic boutique spa in the West Village and now have this new location right outside downtown Woodstock in beautiful upstate New York.

Read about how their organic skincare brand is locally produced in the Catskill Mountains.

Thank you so much to all the kind people who hosted me on this New York adventure.
