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).

Slate is definitely one of those stores. I stopped in on Christmas Eve just to browse around and I wish I could have bought everything in the place! It is a pretty hipster little store, and everything inside would be both useful to have in your home and serve as a conversation starter with guests. The items are unique, interesting, and high quality. There are kitchen gadgets, bar cart fixings, home decor items, greeting cards, jewelry...the list goes on. It's a great store and fits well with the Church Street aesthetic.

I first discovered Jeremy Ayers' gorgeous, unique pottery in art and home decor shops around…read moreBurlington, VT. His pieces are artistic yet sturdy dishes you can use every day around the house. I was most struck by his elegant geometric designs in a neutral color palette. Most pottery sold in shops these days is heavy and thickly glazed in bright, chunky greens, blues, and purples. Ayers' aesthetic is more restrained and delicate. He uses thin washes of white, cream, or sage green glaze and plays with lines and modern geographic patterns, often letting the natural brown of the clay peek through. I was so taken with Jeremy Ayers' style that I had to visit his studio when a quick google revealed it's just a half hour outside Burlington. I know: traveling for pottery -- really?!? But his work is special and so different from what you typically find. So off we went to the charming New England town of Waterbury in pursuit of fired clay. The shop turned out to be adjacent to his studio with a good variety of pieces on offer -- platters, vases, mugs, plates, salt cellars, bowls, etc. There is also the opportunity to buy slightly imperfect seconds, which is good if you, like me, have a pottery jones without the budget to match. I didn't have the chance to meet the artist, which is for the best, as he probably would've found my fandom a little odd. Credit card is accepted (Square), and I left with a prized coffee mug and serving platter. If you're into handicrafts and supporting local artists while beautifying your home, I recommend stopping by. Since the shop is far from where I call home, I'll guess I'll be feeding the habit via his website.
