Elena, the soulful and wise owner, has carefully curated an eclectic and unique selection of all the accoutrements for letter writing, small beautiful objects, journals, bespoke teas and cocktails, art, and more. In fact, her shop is an homage to the art of connection, and there's even a desk where one is invited to sit down and write. After selecting a card from her collection, I did just that. And when I was finished, she offered to stamp and mail it for me. Her newsletter is a thing of beauty, so be sure to get on her mailing list in addition to earning reward dollars to spend. Which you'll be sure to do, because no where else in Central Vermont is there a shop as sweet (well, Delish which is right next door, but that's because it's a candy and confectionery shop). Going back means discovering new delights, and creating more opportunities to connect with all the intimate and finer things (and experiences) in life. Elena also hosts monthly gatherings at the store, where people can gather and write letters and cards. She provides hot teas and all the necessary tools. I haven't gone to one yet, but plan to, especially when the Vermont evenings start to get darker, colder, and more isolating. Magpie & Tiger is just the antidote and invitation many of us are seeking in our increasingly impersonal and digitized existence. Pop in, slow down, take a look and experience a different and beautiful way of doing business.

They also have candles, lotions, fashion, jewelry, baby items (perfect shower gifts!), home decor, awesome christmas ornament selection ... the list goes on and on! I never walk out empty handed. Only thing is, I always go in to shop for someone else and ALWAYS always leave with more goodies for myself! ;) The couple who run the shop also own the women's clothing boutique next door called Ruelle. Definitely worth checking out as well. They bought Stowe Street Emporium from a sweet older couple several years back, and have done an amazing job maintaining its original homey charm, while reinventing it w/their unique brand of coolness, style and fun. Check it out! (Note- I found the photos from their website and posted here).

Whilst everyone here has been SUPER friendly so far, I'd give it to the staff here as being *the* friendliest, chirpiest, and nicest people I've come across during this visit. It's obvious that there is excitement in the air due to the sheer number of people visiting as well as the once-in-a-lifetime event *in* this particular area BUT you've got to give to them for showing it in the sweetest way possible. They carry quite a bit of trinkets and locally made goods and make some of their own as well. I just wanted something simple to commemorate this visit and left with a bag they made for the eclipse, a sticker, and as always, a fridge magnet to add to the collection. Definitely stop by if you're in this part of town!

Fair enough, but it's tough to do with tongs dropping in a tong-ful at a time, and one at a time takes ages. So I took a rough guess at what I have, and tried to make sure I overestimated what I had. They have a large gift section, and even a little corner for dog treats/gifts. I didn't order any food here, but noticed the baked goods they had for sale were the exact same 2 days in a row, so I don't know how fresh they would be. I'd have to eat one to be sure, but the selection was so limited. (Lemon cake, blueberry cake, and some banana bread).
