This is my favorite shop on the east coast. It's a perfect place to buy gifts - from elegant tea…read moreaccoutrements to unique jewelry to funny books from the UK. In addition to gifts I've found many of my favorite things here including a perfect summer dress from Spain, a striking angora hat, and a unicorn glass and dish towel set. The shop's owner, Penelope, has extraordinary taste and there's always new stuff arriving. She's also very friendly and full of good ideas if you're feeling particularly indecisive about what to get for the person who has everything. I really can not recommend this place enough. This shop is a can't miss if you're in Vermont, Massachusetts or New Hampshire (it's worth the drive!).

Visited the store yesterday as my niece told me it was one of her favorite stores in town. She…read morepicked up two ceramic bowls and checked the price on both and the price tag for each was $10. We left the bowls at the register as we continued to browse the shop. When she went to pay for them the owner looked at the price and said it must be wrong. She tried to look them up but couldn't find them in her inventory and told her she better leave them and not buy them. I stood up for my niece and told the owner she should honor the price and she told me that this isn't Walmart and once again insisted we leave the bowls. I have never been treated so rudely and I guarantee we will never return to this store again. You have no customer service. Even Walmart would have treated us better

They have this really neat display hanging on the ceiling, that you just have to check out. It must have over a hundred pieces to it. Even if you don't intend on spending any money, this place is worth the stop just to take a look around. The owners are very friendly as well. This is definitely a must-see place in Shelburne.

While the pumpkins were out of my price range for a whimsical purchase like that (about $45), I seriously considered splurging on one of them. There were other amazing glass items as well as intricately colored pottery pieces. Good stuff. It's not cheap, but handmade works by artists shouldn't be cheap.

We drove by and there were literally more than a dozen beautiful wood bowls outside and I had to stop! I buy something every time we go. My most recent purchase was the weekend before Thanksgiving 2023 when I bought a beautiful hand-turned cherry 18" bowl, such a work of art that I bought the artfully-designed metal stand to display it on and of course, some more wood conditioner that I restock every time we go. The woman in the showroom was helpful and patient, even though we came there close to closing time. She packed the bowl (and an amazing 13" oak bowl that I got for free for buying the first one-an incredible deal) so well that I was able to take them on a flight to SW Florida the next day, where the large bowl now looks beautiful displayed in my mom's house. She loves the grain in the oak bowl that I got for free! Highly recommend this stop near the French King Bridge (cool name, stately bridge and a bit of history nearby)!

Limited hours (maybe you could call ahead), but well worth the drive/wait. Amazing variety of polished and rough minerals! They had trays of polished stones that you'd expect to see at any gem or mineral shop, a couple of containers of slabs (about the size of your hand), and lots of rough minerals. There was a section of "local" rocks too! Best selection of petrified wood I've seen in Boston/Nashua area. They also had some jewelry; I think he might make some of it. I've been to a lot of these kinds of shops lately, and this is my favorite. Compared to other shops that carry rocks/minerals, it was missing fossils, beads, metaphysical stuff... but the quality & prices of what they do have (rocks!) was far better. Best prices I've found yet! Some items have prices marked, but others are sold by weight - with a few exceptions that are average priced... it's very, very affordable. Most other shops charge about 2-3x more for the same thing. There was also an option to "build your own bag" of polished stones, which would be far cheaper than other places for the same small, polished stones. There were also a few nice pieces that were just for display. Fred was really friendly and knowledgeable. He showed us some of the more interesting specimens of what I was looking for, and he told us about some places people go to find/mine minerals. In the time that I was there, I saw more customers here than at other shops in the greater Boston/Nashua area, and I can see why.
