“From the street, the shop seems too small to have much, BUT when you go in you'll see that the owner Kim has a real skill at curating unique treasures, one of a kind gifts, local balms, soaps, and oils, as well as jewelry at really good prices. Everything is displayed beautifully, and they have fun workshops to focus on improving your health and wellbeing. I've had the privilege of teaching in this facility too -- the workshop space is inviting, intimate with natural light. The vibe of the place is all about positivity around your mental wellness and everyone is welcome. Plus Chester is so cool!”
“Update: I'm so glad I bought my binoculars locally, from the Audubon Shop. I recently had an issue with my binoculars so I brought them back to the store. They were shipped back to the company and today I picked up a brand new pair. One of my better decisions. I highly recommend this store because they handled the entire return for me.
Knowledgeable, friendly and super helpful. I even recommended this store to my sister in NC and she ordered after speaking with someone on the phone who sent her the link to my exact binoculars. She agrees he was extremely helpful & knowledgeable. We are novice birders and he recommended the right pair of binoculars for us that are light weight, crystal clear, waterproof and warrantied for life, in our price range. We're all very pleased with our purchases and my husband & I will be back for a scope next.”
“Such a nice shop with attentive and informative staff, repeat customers came in during my visit and still seemed entranced by all the store had to offerI left with a bag of items and plans to return for more! Highly reccomend if you like insects fossils stones sculptures art etc you can touch almost everything in this store also so it’s fun to wander around”

“Fantastic and somewhat eclectic variety of items but the real treasure here is the woman who was working there Sunday morning (7/30). In addition to being such a charming and pleasant person she was also just amazing in how helpful she was to people coming in the store. One poor woman was out of dog poop bags and the woman didn't hesitate to find her a couple small bags and give the dog a couple treats! We never got a chance to finish our shopping here but we'll be back in a few weeks. I see several xmas gifts with Emmy's name on them!”
“Here on vacation and needed a gift ...the shop clerk was very helpful and kind. She was personable and I can see why this business is still around. Thank you. I wish the stores in the area had this warm and friendly attitude. I hope this helps anyone looking to shop in Madison choose your store.”

“Our Own Dina Varano Collection
Among the many things influencing our 2014 move to Chester, CT, was its thriving cultural scene. Home to abstract expressionist Sol Lewitt, Broadway impresario Michael Price, landscape artists Richard Ziemann, Deborah Quinn Munson and Leif Nilsson and renowned graphic designer Peter Good, countless musicians, writers, artists and photographers, Chester has earned its reputation as a New England cultural jewel.
But since moving to town, Gail and I have been particularly taken by another founding member of Chester’s art scene, sculptor, jewelry-maker and business owner — Dina Varano. As you’ll see from the variety of pieces in our photos, we can’t get enough of Dina and her magical main street shop.
Dina’s original designs are rooted in nature, her style is joyful and free, and her pieces as different from each other as they are from those of any other artist. Her creative sense is reflected as well in the work of the other makers found in her eclectic shop. Every time we’ve gifted or displayed something from Dina, the reaction has been pure wonder and delight.
For Gail and me, Dina Varano epitomizes the energy and cooperative spirit driving the arts culture here in our adopted hometown. Check it out.”
