Vermont winters can be grey, dark and cold at times but it's super cozy shops like this that will sparkle your life right back up. Walking in you get hit with a wave of fragrant incense, and welcomed by Buddha statues and large amethyst crystals. Wind Chimes and light catchers crystals are hanging from the ceiling. You'll find everything from incense (sticks, palo santo, incense cones, resins, sage, sweetgrass), to healing crystals (on strings, tumbled stones, geodes, pyramids), to books and CDs. They also have singing bowls, candles, jewelry, and some beads for those crafty and looking to make their own jewelry or other project. In the back section of the store where the books and CDs are is where they have private card readings. (One day I'll get to a one!) I ended up getting a strand of labradorite beads right before they closed, so I'm looking forward to the next visit when I have more time!

Who knew, that in West Chazy, in North Country New York State, there would be such an awesome folk…read moremagic and magickal supply store? Well, I did, but that's only because I did my research and realized that those podunk people in Plattsburgh where I grew up? They do a lot more magic than they give themselves credit for. Venue: Before we even get to what treasure you can behold in this store, let's talk about the fact that it's not even a store. It's an actual caboose. As in, from a train, refurbished and on fake railroad tracks, caboose. It's ADORABLE! Now, I don't use all caps lightly, but this by far the coolest shop idea ever, and only someone in the North Country would think of it. Just off of the 87 on 22, there are (now) three portions of the store. The caboose, which holds all things gem and crystal, incense and tarot, new books and supplies; the community room, with a giant wall of 50% off books on one side and a ridiculous amount of beading supplies on the other; and the garage, which I don't think was open when I was there, but where the classes and workshops are held. In true North Country fashion, the caboose is open from Thursday to Sunday, but if you call ahead, and they're around, they'll probably open if up for you. Selection: Now onto the awesome stuff. Crystals! Gems! Geodes! Oh my!! And that's just on one wall. All organized with detailed explanation cards and self-selecting service, the amount and variety of stones I had to choose from were amazing. I had a list, and I don't think I checked but once, I ended up buying so much extra stuff. There's a large selection of incense and oils (I'm not sure they're all essential, so check them out first) as well as new books , jewelry and tarot cards. Pretty much any ritual supplies or cauldron stockings you may need, from herbs and chimes to candles and pendulums, are all crammed into every nook and cranny. I kid you not, I think I spent at least 30 minutes checking out the small space. Everywhere I looked had something new and amazing. The community room was amazing as well. Unfortunately, I wasn't into making jewelry when I went, or trust me, I would have raided that wall like no tomorrow. But the wall of books? I was sold. Almost all of them were under $10, and I must have picked up at least 5 books before my mother asked me how I was going to get them all on the plane. Blasted logic! Sometimes it leaves me! That said, my mother, who is, I guess we could say, spiritual in nature although often pokes fun at me and my metaphysical store raids, enjoyed the shop. She bought several incenses just make the house smell nice and found a cookbook she wanted--but forewent it simply because she has a billion. On the price side, it's the North Country, so after living in NYC everything seems so cheap. But it's all very reasonably priced. I got 9 small-ish polished quartz spears for $36, which anyone will tell you is a steal! In addition, I bought a few candles, a bunch of stones and a book all for un $50. There are always specials and deals going on, so make sure to check out the website and ask. I cannot stress this enough: this isn't just a place for the witchly-inclined. From jewelry to wind chimes, findings and belly dancing skirts, this shop is quite possibly one of the best kept secrets in Champlain Valley. But I reveal it all unto you now! Go forth and forage from the Crystal Caboose. My mother may have moved down to Orlando, but you can bet that if I can find a reason to go back to the North Country and pillage the caboose again, I'll take it.

Common Deer happens to be one of them. Probably a nightmare to locals, but a pure dream to any and all tourists! I saw nightmare to locals bc locals complain constantly about the types of little stores that are all over their downtown areas. We have quite a few here in downtown Boise. Locals complain constantly about the tourists. Funny how locals everywhere..whether in Burlington or Boise will complain about tourists all while forgetting how much $$ tourists pump into their economies. I absolutely love supporting little stores like this. Small local shops are the absolute best. Sure, prices will ALWAYS be higher, but chances are you will find something at these stores you'll never find at another. If a touristy item...finding a unique is even better. Common Deer is one of those special places. You will certainly find some incredible little things here, Knick Knacks, souvenirs, maple syrup (now that's plentiful all over Vermont haha), candles, etc . I know, they all sound like things in every store like this. I'd like to think that...yes of course, you'll see some repeat things...especially in VT t-shirts, but each store has something the other doesn't. Common Deer is absolutely worth checking out! If you are visiting Burlington, there's a 99.9999% you will go in. It has a very inviting vibe to it. The outside does a great job...drawing you in. You'll love it! Thanks for reading, YelperCommonerDeers! Cheers!
