GF and I love our adventures. After leaving a wedding in Rutland, we drove some scenic roads back…read moreinto MA. Part of the way home, we spotted the Twitchell House on the left side of route 30 as we were motoring South. The Twitchell House is seriously an entire house (and barn and tent and yard) full of antiques. We probably spent two hours poking through all the rooms, digging up all sorts of neat little trinkets. GF got a soldering iron shaped like a pistol and some funky tins. I got a mid-century cake tin for a baker friend, an old glass ink well, a set of 1920s fake pearls, a 1940s black fox muff that I am so excited to rock the hell out of this winter...I think that's all I got...but it definitely wasn't all I wanted to get. The owners are also pretty awesome, and super chatty. They love their collection and they've carefully labeled everything in the building. If you're ever in Southern Vermont looking for an adventure, this is definitely a worthwhile stop.

I have to wholeheartedly agree with the other reviewer...this place is amazing. Southern VT has a…read morelot of antiquing, but this place is the most bohemian. Prices were flexible and low, there wasn't a single item I looked at that I wasn't willing to pay full sticker price. We are trying to keep our place minimal and we have all of the furniture we need, but we did get these two amazing rugs. She did say that she usually doesn't do rugs, but that she got these on a gut feeling. They are in tough shape, and in need of a good cleaning, but they were a CRAZY good deal and exactly what I was searching for. If I were opening a restaurant or a boutique, or just looking to furnish my place, I would schlep up here as my first stop.

I cannot say enough amazing things about this store and its owner. From the moment you walk in, you…read morefeel welcomed, appreciated, and genuinely cared for. The owner is truly one of the kindest people I have ever met -- warm, patient, and so incredibly thoughtful. You can tell this isn't just a business; it's something built with love and integrity. Every interaction feels personal, and they go above and beyond to make sure you leave happy. In a world where customer service can sometimes feel rushed or impersonal, this place is a breath of fresh air. What touched me the most was a beautiful moment with my daughter. She did a good deed for her, and instead of wanting anything in return, she simply told my daughter to pass it on and return the favor to someone else one day. I just thought that was such an incredible lesson -- teaching kindness, generosity, and paying it forward. That meant more to me than she'll ever know.

I think it's run by volunteers from the church next door - which means that you're guaranteed to have a conversation with a sweet old lady during your shopping experience. Adventure shopping - it's the way to go.

Six Loose Ladies is a wonderful surprise in the very small town of Proctorsville, Vt. On my first…read morevisit I was told that the shop is named for the quaintly termed "loose ladies" who used to work the neighborhood in the hey day of this old factory town. Such a great story but apparently not true. On my second visit I was given a second and probably more reliable tale of the origin of the name. Visit the shop to find out which story you prefer. The shop is located in the small village of Proctorsville, Vt. It's easy to find in a big yellow building. The yarns are primarily from local spinners, their sheep and llamas. The yarn quality and selection are both outstanding. An excellent knitter always seems to to be there to give you advice and help you get started.
