This shop was so fun and quaint, the perfect place to pick up a gift for someone special…read more Like many gift shops, there are treasures thoughtfully displayed every which way, up and down and over in this charming shop. Towels, art, jewelry, pottery, stuff for kids, stuff for plant lovers, stuff for cat lovers, dog lovers, you name it, if you can't find something to buy in this shop for yourself or someone else, I'd be shocked. On top of that, the back porch has a WONDERFUL view of the town waterfall. The porch is screened in, but it won't trouble your photos any. IF you're near Middlebury, stop in for a bit and see the waterfall and the many items they offer.

The sample station at the front of the store is an excellent feature - it's what convinced me I needed to purchase a bottle of maple rum hot sauce!

Friendly staff, located right on main street in downtown Middlebury. Highly recommend!

If you're a Middlebury College student or a resident of Middlebury town looking for a quick escape,…read moreyou might find yourself here. This place is a free art gallery at the end of Merchant's Row that's open to the public. Here, you can walk in and look around at all the art pieces. I reckon that the gallery doubles as a marketplace for art buyers, as there are price stickers attached to all the pieces. The art here is also quite expensive! (I suppose most fine art is. Makes sense.) There's something soothing about walking around the gallery. Perhaps it's just the small town atmosphere that fills the town. Edgewater is just so easily accessible if you ever find yourself wandering around in "downtown" Middlebury. It serves its purpose well as an art gallery, no complaints. (Though, I recall seeing plastic vegetables mounted on a wooden board being sold for several hundred dollars. Everybody's a critic, including me.) This place serves as a great way for local Vermont artists to get their name and work out there. I hope that when I come back, I'll see some new pieces-- otherwise, these artists likely aren't selling their work!

This was probably our favorite shop in downtown Woodstock…read more We walked in and were greeted warmly and spent a few minutes walking around looking at the beautiful works - the train, ornaments and different tinkling bells. I ended up purchasing a Christmas themed candle holder for my mother that had tiny acorns around the base, but many of the thoughtful ornaments really called to me, so I'll definitely be looking them up again come holiday time! Overall, a really beautiful warm store that if you're in the area you should definitely stop into.

I've enjoyed Whistle Pig for quite some time now so I insisted on stopping here for a visit. We purchased a bottle after sipping on some samplers and after my husband whole heartedly agreed that the whiskey was terrific. The shop is cute and a good place for gifts if it suits your tastes. I did find it interesting to learn a bit about pewter and the craftsmanship that goes into them.

Darling clothes and odds and ends. The service, however, was dismal. The woman working there (not sure if owner?) did not even acknowledge me as I entered the tiny little place. I looked at some items (thinking of buying for myself and nieces). Tried to catch her attention and she, instead ignored me to wait on someone else. I am guessing she believed that middle-aged blonde woman was more her type of customer. When I stated I would move in an effort to give them room, she simply said "GOOD!" That said all I needed to know, if you know what I mean. She did not consider me her type of clientele, I guess. Fortunately, there are plenty of shops in Middlebury and Shelburne and Burlington.
