The store has a decent selection of Shaker-inspired gifts and knick-knacks, but it left something to be desired. I was hoping for a large selection of books about Shaker history and crafts, and while they had a couple dozen books available, it seemed lacking. Many of the items seemed like they were chosen simply because they think guests would buy them, but not because they have a Shaker connection.

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).

Way up north, most retail establishments are all about helping people get by. Plain and…read morebusinesslike, most stores offer service and products and not a lot of else. Most stores, that is. Not the Country Cobbler, my favorite leather goods retailer north of the Massachusetts border. Shelves and racks are practically overflowing with a wide variety of items for motorcyclists, outdoor enthusiasts, dancers, and just regular people looking for something that looks and feels good and comes at an excellent price. Not bad for a place located upcountry. Who shops here? In an area with long winding back roads and scenic highways, motorcyclists find chaps, helmets, vests, saddlebags, gloves...in short, just about everything a cyclist needs, aside from the bike. Those who favor the Western-style country look can find hats, shirts, belts, while the selection of dancewear appeals to those involved in jazz, Irish step, tap, etc. Myself? I come here looking for boots, and here's where shoppers can get real bargains. First of all, boots and other footware is very reasonably priced, but when things start getting discounted...the specials are really special. Example: I got a pair of workboots originally priced at $130 most places (including here) marked down close to the end of the season, to $20. There is a particularly strong selection of moccasins and slippers that beats any place in the Upper Valley in quality and selection. I'd very strongly recommend stopping here for anyone looking for workboots. I will confess that I've done little shopping in the accessories selection but I can testify to the fact that the selection here is very strong. Briefcases, backpacks and wallets here are of extremely high quality and could be sold in larger cities at higher prices. And...it's very possible to also find some great discounted items here, as was the case when some of us found an awesome shearling handbag for a friend that was originally over $100 and marked down to under $20. And bargains like that aren't unusual. If you put the Country Cobbler in a larger city it would do very well. It offers all of the kinds of goods and services one would expect of a well appointed leather store. Yet it still has a certain kind of country upretentiousness that makes shopping there a treat and a pleasure. Dancer, motorcyclist, outdoor enthusiast...all will find something at the Country Cobbler. Very much recommended.

I purchased a small $78 stuffed animal on my last visit but this time they didn't give me the chance to buy anything. The lady was obsessed with getting my drink & after I left she loudly chastised me to the other employee while my daughter was still in the store. I was in there for 3 minutes tops & I heard her chasing people around trying to get their bags & telling other people where to stand. What a weird place! I was going to spend another $100 & probably would have at each visit but now I'll never go back. Good thing the carpet is safe from my seltzer. It's very unprofessional to talk loudly about a customer while other customers are present. I was very polite but decided to leave when she tried to take my drink & that's my choice. I shouldn't be targeted for opting to wait outside. Tearing me down in front of my daughter is rude & inappropriate. Nice toy store. Feels more like a jail to me.

We entered through a door with a giant bear next to it for photo opps, and into the part with all kinds of fun Vermont (maple) treats, drinks, and other snacks. Then there was main floor, upstairs, and downstairs to see. Missed downstairs since I heard that was mostly furniture, and I spent about 2.5 hours scouring all the rest. Prices were all over the place, as is so often the case with antique malls. Bargains and Zingers abounded. Because I bought so many smaller items, it overwhelmed the young man doing the check out, and it soon before they were closing. He did not know how to prioritize, and unlike the ladies that opened the 2nd register, he did not go over all that I bought, confirming the details, which frustrated me, because I'm pretty sure I got overcharged for a couple things. So, make note, and add up stuff yourself if you are buying more than a handful of items. The staff sprinkled throughout to help open cases to show you merch were all very friendly and eager to help. If you're antiquing through New England, I definitely think this should be on your list!

In a world full of online everything, take a moment and visit Cloverleaf in person. You will not regret it, and I guarantee you will be back. I visited when I first moved to the area to pick out a gift for my girlfriend. I met the most kind and caring family. They showed me the store, helped me find a perfect gift, and shared laughs and stories that kept me smiling the rest of the day. 3 years later and they still help me find gifts for my soon to be fiancé, and I still always leave smiling. I just purchased our engagement ring from Cloverleaf, I couldn't have imagined going anywhere else. I haven't been to another jeweler since finding Cloverleaf. They actually know me, and the things I and my partner like, this cannot be taken for granted these days, such a joy. Christie has a wishlist full of items that my girlfriend helps curate, such a caring thoughtful touch. (Gentlemen, these wishlists are a lifesaver come Christmas time. Where else do you know that will keep a wishlist full of your partner's favorites? I surely have not found another). Cloverleaf is truly a one of a kind location. If you are lucky enough to live close, come see it for yourself! If you live far away, make it a reason to travel! I hope to see you there :) -Gerry

We stayed up at Steele Hill for…read morethe weekend and passed this little shop a couple times during our stay and I knew I had to stop in before we went back home. So glad we did! The fudge is to die for and they have so many different flavors to choose from. The shop also sells NH and NH made novelty items... maple syrup, tea, soy candles, chocolates, T-shirt's, sweaters, mugs, body scrubs, popcorn, etc. Although you have lots to choose from and the fudge is amazing... the best part is the warm and friendly service we received even before getting out of our car. The owner was extremely warm and helpful... and customer service is number one in my book! He mentions he will be expanding services even more in the months to come. And I can't wait to be back to have some tea while getting a foot massage and eating some fudge! If you're in the area, passing by, or even if you're not in the area... add this little hidden gem to your list of stops to make. You won't regret it!

The previous reviewer (Angela S.) really nailed it. Granite Life is great! We were on a mission…read morefrom my grandmother to find a rock. She's very picky--you'd think that a rock wouldn't be hard to find in the Granite State, but she had stipulations. Plus, it had just snowed about 3 feet, so any rocks that might around sure weren't visible. So, we called around to a few places to ask about rocks. We got a lot of puzzled looks (through the phone), until we reached George. He said, "Well... sure we have rocks. Are you staying Steele Hill Resort?" We were. "Okay, come by tomorrow, and I'll have a couple rocks for you." So, we went. The shop was clearly closed for the winter season, but we called George and he can down from his home (on the same property) and gave us a selection of rocks from the boundary wall of his property. We tried to give him some money, but he refused. We told him thanks and that we would have to come back sometime to check out his shop. He asked if we wanted to check out the candy, and we said, okay, if not too much trouble. Nothing was too much trouble for George. He opened up the shop, told us about how it was a labor of love for him and his family, lots of local goods, including maple syrup from the farm up the street. And fudge, all sorts of different, delicious fudge. They also had plenty of novelty gifts, hand-screened sweatshirts and t-shirts, and a little coffee nook overlooking the fields and lake in the distance (can't remember if we could see the lake--but it was there!). Needless to say, we couldn't help ourselves from picking up a few souvenirs and happily supporting a local business and businessman who obviously cared about his customers and how he treats them. We can't say enough nice things about Granite Life--friendly, convenient if you're in the area, wide selection of souvenirs with local flare, and just a generally good vibe to take home with you. Highly, highly recommended. Oh, and Gramma liked the rock--not too flashy, but she loved the story and the history of it. Mostly, she liked that we made the effort to find what she wanted--thanks, George.
