The shop contains a robust array of framing options. The owners are really nice and helpful. They worked with me to determine what they could do within my financial means. They then gave me an estimated delivery time to expect completion. The work was done by the estimated date and I'm so pleased with the results! They did a fantastic job that was well worth what I paid. I'd come here again for any framing needs.

That rarest of instances where you'll say "I was framed!" and you'll be happy as hell! You walk in their shop and it's a framing wonderland. Take the time to drink in piece after piece. Appreciate talent. Then enjoy the shopping experience where they focus on you and what you want 10000%. No hard sell, no upsell just honest, talented fair minded caring souls. The proof of the quality is on the wall. Soon it will be on mine. It can be on yours too. I entrusted them with a personal Project but I live in New Jersey and never not once did I ever get the slightest sense they didn't care as much as they did I walked in. I cannot praise and applaud them enough. We're this world full of Dostie Framing Friends. A true jewel in Burlington and in Vermont and in the United States. Get thee to the framery!

We both had on fairly grubby clothes and no jewelry at all, and were still treated kindly. I'm sorry that your experience was different.

I went into the store and was greeted by Katilyn. I asked her for help in planning this surprise. We sat at one of the tables they have there and she helped me select the piece that I ended up buying and then she helped me plan out the surprise. I had brought in some jewelry that needed repair work so we planned the surprise to coincide with the the point in time when the repaired items were ready for pick up. It all came together as planned and my wife was so surprised, she did not expect it at all. On top of the staffs help with this, the store is amazing in its set up, look and feel as you enter it, the baby grand piano playing softly in the background, the overall ambiance of this place is something else. If you want to create a special surprise for your significant other this is the place I would recommend and from my experience the staff will help you make it extra special. Thank you Perrywinkle's.

Common Deer happens to be one of them. Probably a nightmare to locals, but a pure dream to any and all tourists! I saw nightmare to locals bc locals complain constantly about the types of little stores that are all over their downtown areas. We have quite a few here in downtown Boise. Locals complain constantly about the tourists. Funny how locals everywhere..whether in Burlington or Boise will complain about tourists all while forgetting how much $$ tourists pump into their economies. I absolutely love supporting little stores like this. Small local shops are the absolute best. Sure, prices will ALWAYS be higher, but chances are you will find something at these stores you'll never find at another. If a touristy item...finding a unique is even better. Common Deer is one of those special places. You will certainly find some incredible little things here, Knick Knacks, souvenirs, maple syrup (now that's plentiful all over Vermont haha), candles, etc . I know, they all sound like things in every store like this. I'd like to think that...yes of course, you'll see some repeat things...especially in VT t-shirts, but each store has something the other doesn't. Common Deer is absolutely worth checking out! If you are visiting Burlington, there's a 99.9999% you will go in. It has a very inviting vibe to it. The outside does a great job...drawing you in. You'll love it! Thanks for reading, YelperCommonerDeers! Cheers!

Maybe kind of expensive, but that's to be expected. The whole selection is local. For sure there's a lot to check out in here. It's got plenty for all types of people. They're closed Tuesdays.

Vermont winters can be grey, dark and cold at times but it's super cozy shops like this that will sparkle your life right back up. Walking in you get hit with a wave of fragrant incense, and welcomed by Buddha statues and large amethyst crystals. Wind Chimes and light catchers crystals are hanging from the ceiling. You'll find everything from incense (sticks, palo santo, incense cones, resins, sage, sweetgrass), to healing crystals (on strings, tumbled stones, geodes, pyramids), to books and CDs. They also have singing bowls, candles, jewelry, and some beads for those crafty and looking to make their own jewelry or other project. In the back section of the store where the books and CDs are is where they have private card readings. (One day I'll get to a one!) I ended up getting a strand of labradorite beads right before they closed, so I'm looking forward to the next visit when I have more time!

The man at the front didn't say hello or even acknowledge us which was a bit off putting. We love buying and play all sorts of games and may have had some questions for him. A local came in shortly after us and was having a great conversation with the suddenly alive cashier so I assume he just didn't feel like trying to drum up business with non-locals which is a pity. The selection is okay. Nothing too great and honestly, not a lot of variety. If that's your local store then I'm sure it's great and you can get things ordered but for people out of town, it's not really worth stopping in.

Such a cute little spot that's a relatively recent add to the city hall/church street area. Was…read moregiven this experience as a gift and was so excited! They offer painting and mosaics! I've been to a paint-your-own pottery shop before but never a mosaic option! How cool! They have several premade pottery options, with lots of paint colors if you come to paint. For the mosaics they have pre created options that you tile. I was hoping for a circle option that resembled a garden stone but they were out at the time of my visit- not a negative thing at all as I totally understand that- but more so as a thought to plan ahead! I would suggest calling to see if they have the shape you are looking to mosaic before coming in. The only thing I would suggest for the space is to have more options that are not animal shaped to mosaic, as that would cater to the adult crowd more. I went with the heart mirror option and was excited to get to work! They have a wall of different colored shapes and sizes of colored tiles. I was given a tin to select a handful of colors to help separate. I am visiting family here and decided to do a VT sunset with their mountains as my inspo. The turn around time was quick! They were able to grout it for me (for an upcharge) and it was done and ready for pick up the next day! The ladies working were so sweet and helpful, explaining everything for me and checked in regularly on how the process was going. What a great reminder of family and my trip this year! They offer reservations online, you can also call in to book a reservation, and they do walk-ins as well. Lots of tables but I would recommend a reservation (esp with a larger group) to ensure you have a spot to sit to create!
