About Pretty to Think So
Pretty to Think So is a delightful little shop in Rhinebeck that defies easy categorization – part bookstore, part gift shop, part art gallery. Owned by writer Chelsea McGill, the boutique reflects her literary sensibility and impeccable taste. On its neatly arranged tables and shelves you might find elegant Japanese notebooks and pens, small-press poetry books, handmade ceramics and planters, silk scarves with literary prints, natural apothecary items, and limited-edition art prints. Everything is curated to inspire and spark joy, often with a touch of whimsy or a nod to classic literature (the store’s name itself is a literary reference). PTTS also hosts occasional readings, signings, or craft workshops, fostering a creative community around it. For anyone seeking a unique gift or a beautiful object that tells a story, Pretty to Think So is a must-visit in Rhinebeck.
