Did you know that one of the largest left-handed guitar stores in the country is located right in Hudson Falls? It's true - and Adirondack Guitar caters to right-handers as well. They specialize in boutique products like left-handed guitars and custom guitars, and they also carry other instruments like banjos and ukuleles.
Adirondack Guitar's goal is "to help musicians find the best equipment and accessories for their instrument needs." If you're not a musician yourself but are perhaps shopping for one and don't necessarily want to commit to a guitar purchase, check out their variety of accessories from pedals and amps to guitar straps and tee-shirts. They also carry used guitars, offer financing and repairs, and will otherwise work to meet whatever your musical needs are.
Their store hours at 3 Lafayette Street, Hudson Falls are 4pm to 7pm Tuesday through Friday, and 12pm to 3pm on Saturday, or you can order online through their site. They make it easy to filter your search by type, price, and brand.

Faerydale Consignment & Gifts in Greenwich carries clothing (especially kids), furniture, decor, household items, jewelry, books, gifts for all occasions, and yes, fairy items - specifically, fairy gardens and statues. All pre-owned items are carefully selected, and they also carry local handmade products. As owner Robyn Scutt says on their website, "There are some very talented people in our little town!"
Their inventory changes frequently, so there's always new and fun merchandise to peruse. If you follow them on Facebook, you can stay updated on what's new in the store (plus they post videos, specials, and sales).
Because of their quick turnover rate with inventory, Faerydale doesn't typically sell items online, but you can ask and they may be able to accommodate you. However, we recommend checking out their shop in person at 1251 Route 29 in Greenwich. They're open 10am to 5pm, Tuesday through Saturday.

So far, we've covered a wide range of shopping needs from clothes to kids' toys to musical instruments. Supporting a local artist and purchasing a set of handmade earrings is wonderful, but sometimes you have more practical needs - the things you might usually shop for at a department store, for instance. Here's where Callahan's Discount Warehouse comes in.
Callahan's Discount Warehouse at 1128 Dix Avenue in Hudson Falls sells new, used, return, and overstock home goods from major retailers at a fraction of the original price. Their Facebook page says: "If you can prove there's a better price on a product, even a special sale, then we will beat it. In fact we won't just beat it, we'll destroy it."
Look here for your kitchen items like Keurig machines and microwaves, office needs like desk chairs, toys and gifts for kids like bicycles, and more. Before you shop online or go to a big box store, pay this family-owned business a visit between 9am and 5pm daily - it might just end up being your one-stop shop.
