She's been in the community for years and is the perfect piece to fill out a commercial district with a variety of specialties to offer. This place has collections of curated works from select artists, each having their own medium: paintings, metal/glass work, knitting, jewelry, etc. And they are all gorgeous. I particularly love the arts & crafts-style stained window ornaments, which are especially apropos during this season. She also sells a few knickknacks including toys and greeting cards. While this has been a great season for business, she mentioned possibly closing for the winter because of all the folks coming to Vermont and not taking quarantining seriously. Not only are businesses suffering because of the sanctioned shutdown to protect everyone (understandable), they are also being forced to take measures like limiting hours and closing to protect themselves and their responsible customers because of cavalier and selfish customers (not understandable). People. Get your lives right. And when she reopens, check this place out. You won't be disappointed.

We also enjoyed our lunch onsite here at the Green Leaf Cafe. With a homemade Caesar dressing and croutons, the Caesar salad was one of the best I've had. The BBQ Bacon Meatball Bomb was delicious, and we had ours in a sandwich. We also had the quiche, which was also very good, but could have used a little more cheese for my palette. As of this writing, the cafe has only been open about 3 weeks. Everybody in this shop made you feel good about being there!

The owner told me that their galleries featured 16 local artists and 200 artists from all around the world (amazing!!!). I would never expect to randomly walk in a store to experience THIS MUCH arts!!! From recycle materials to metal works, they have it all! Of course, love this place so much I had to walk out with a purchase! Gallery in the Woods appeared to be one of my most favorite places in Vermont.

Need more of this around instead of the homogeneous stuff you see in stores now a days.
