Listen, I'm a single dude sans kids of my own, so while I might not have the best idea of what new…read moremoms and babies need, I have a pretty good idea of what they don't need. They don't need cheap plastic crap lined with dust and lint, the sort of thing I found in the baby section of a shop in an adjacent mall. Yuck. I wouldn't give a street mongrel those things to play with, let alone give that dirty junk to a precious precious baby googoo gaga. Then--just days before New Years when I'd been told that the Upper Valley has no store dedicated exclusively to baby things--what to my wondering eyes should appear, but Country Kids Clothing and all things sincere! There are beautiful picture books and classy bibs, pacifiers and chew toys (I'm a dog person, no apologies), swaddling clothes, carry-all bags, and more. You'll find an array of items to suit any baby's general needs, from pricey to economical, trendy commercial to local organic (the natural wood teething rings were my fave, one more solid use of Vermont maple!). The stuff here's cute as shit, cuter than your little shit, probably! You can't go wrong, it seems. There's a second room, too, for older babies. Elder babies? Toddlers? For when they're at 43 months, or 72...whatever. There are two people on staff, though I only spoke with one. Don't have a clue about baby development, timelines, seasonal needs, wind velocity, gravitational pull, etc., like me? No problem! I was both applauded for my courage in shopping for a baby shower gift, and then gently educated on how to improve on the selections I had made before asking for help. The result: A+ in the gift-giving department. Go to CKC for all your creature's creature comforts.

I think there is just an office around here but not the Store. Called the number and the nice lady told me 15 West Street, about 5 miles back into Rutland. See my photos. That's what you are looking for. The picture above looks like the Weston store. This one is in the armory building. Make left onto West and it's the armory building on the right. Big sign that says Yankee Surplus. Check it out! This has overstock, off season and deeply discounted clothes and home goods. Excellent buys.

The way she talks down to people is very condescending and degrading. She is very argumentative and combative. She is short, probably in her 30s or 40s, has glasses, with brown shoulderlength hair. She should not be upfront checking customers out with this type of personality. She may be a good worker but should not be at the storefront representing the Vermont Country Store/Yankee Surplus with that type of attitude. She should be in the back room stocking shelves with no communication or interaction with customers.

I went back another time and the sign clearly states it "closes at 6 pm". I had made a special trip to the mall just to go to the store.
