While we served many, many thankful customers this weekend, I also can't tell you how many times I overheard, "I bet we can get this cheaper on Amazon " this weekend. 😥
Here is my response:
We may not have the best prices but we offer the best friendly service and a beautiful place to shop.

We may not have perfect retail spaces but they are filled with good energy and love.

We may not offer free shipping but we’ll ship as fast as possible... and add a handwritten note because each and every order matters.

We may not be open long hours but goodness did we work hard at building and improving our online presence in 2020.

We may not have unlimited inventory but we work hard at making or curating items we think you’ll love.

We may not be a million dollar business but we give back to our communities in soooo many ways.

What we are... is unique, passionate, helpful, caring, giving, kind, and grateful.

Shop small whenever you can - whether it’s online or in person - and you’ll put a smile on each and every small business owner’s face - even if it is behind a mask that we wear for our 8 hour shift.

Let’s avoid any more “Oh no - they’re permanently closing?!” statements this year.

Shop small. Love small. We love you back. ❤️

You can't get that at Amazon.
You can't smell a candle on Amazon. You can't see an item in a creative display on Amazon.
You can't walk around the Amazon showroom with a coffee in hand listening to the pretty music and taking in the beautiful sights.

A HUGE SHOUTOUT TO MY STAFF who give their ALL and then some, to make Brown & Hopkins so much more than a store. And to our amazing customers who do NOT say, "I bet we could get this cheaper on Amazon. "
THANK YOU!!!!!
We have been in business since 1809 and located at:

Incredible timing!

Girls in the Windows, 1960.

This iconic photograph shows 43 women in colorful clothing posing in 41 windows of a condemned brownstone building in Manhattan.

It was the summer of 1960, and photographer Ormond Gigli was working in his studio on 58th Street, across the street from a group of brownstones that were about to be demolished. The windows had been removed and Gigli had an idea of photographing a group of women, one in each of the window openings, wearing formalwear.

The demolition supervisor agreed to let Gigli go ahead – as long as his wife could be in the photograph. Gigli could shoot the next day during the worker’s lunch hour. When the workers returned after lunch, the building would be pulled down.

Gigli and his staff only had 24 hours to plan the photo, find volunteer models to pose for the shot, and get permission from the city. There was a gaping hole in front of the building so they also located a Rolls-Royce to sit on the sidewalk in front.

Word went out to local modeling agencies, and plenty of people volunteered to take part. The sun shone, the weather was lovely, and the photo shoot took an hour. After the photo was taken, the models left, and the building came down.
