Wayside Country Store has a great selection of Linda Lou sink strainers, my mother was searching for a few designs she didn't own yet and we found them on Wayside Country Store's website. We placed an order for four different strainers (hummingbird, kitty, fishy & butterfly) but due to a storm and outage the store was unable to process the order. I gave them a call and they happily processed my order over the phone. They were extremely apologetic and friendly. Once the shipment arrived we found that we had received two kitty strainers and no fishy strainer. I emailed their customer service and they immediately offered a replacement or credit. We asked for a replacement stating we'd be happy to pay for it (just hoping maybe Wayside could cover shipping) however they shipped out a replacement to us at no cost. We will be ordering again!

The Paper Mouse is a charming independent stationery shop and gift boutique in West Newton that is…read moreeasy to spend more time in than you originally planned. The store has a warm, inviting atmosphere with thoughtfully arranged displays that make browsing enjoyable. Every section feels carefully organized, and there is always something interesting to discover whether you are shopping for yourself or looking for a unique gift. The selection is what really makes this shop stand out. There is a great variety of high-quality notebooks, fountain pens, journals, greeting cards, and art supplies, along with plenty of creative desk accessories and small gifts. I especially enjoyed looking through the Japanese stationery and beautifully designed paper goods, which are not the kind of items you typically find in a larger office supply store. The card and wrapping paper selection is also impressive, making it an easy place to stop when you need something a little more thoughtful for a birthday, holiday, or special occasion. One thing I appreciated was how curated everything felt. Instead of being packed with endless products, the store carries a collection that reflects quality and creativity, with a mix of imported stationery, locally made items, and unique gifts. It makes browsing feel more personal, and I found myself noticing details in products that I probably would have overlooked in a larger retailer. The atmosphere adds just as much to the experience. The relaxed setting, friendly staff, and inviting displays make it easy to take your time exploring each section. The Paper Mouse also hosts workshops and creative events, which fit naturally with the store's focus on art, design, and craftsmanship and help make it feel like more than just a place to shop. Overall, The Paper Mouse is one of those neighborhood stores that is worth visiting whether you are a stationery enthusiast or simply looking for a thoughtful gift. The combination of carefully curated products, welcoming atmosphere, and creative spirit makes it a shop I would happily return to whenever I am in the West Newton area.

Would definitely recommend a trip out to the "country" to visit this wonderful shop!

I have bought a lot of cute gifts and clothing there, but will just drive to Worcester to Crompton Collective in the future. I don't know how they are training staff so differently, but it is notable. Their hours keep getting worse too. VisIted today, Small Business Saturday, and they were closed until noon while every other business is open. I don't know, I just don't get it. Feels like a side business that is an after thought for whoever is running it.
