The staff were friendly, helpful, and engaging and I was able to find a set of papers and envelopes. The stationary set and a pack of ballpoint pens was $20. I thought the pricing was fair but I often shop in Mystic so my perspective could be skewed.

That applies to Lark in spades. Walking into this shop, you immediately grasp the variety available between decorations, women's clothes, little token items like soaps, and a treasure trove of thoughtful gift options. Plenty of shops can offer a decent selection, but perhaps not as well as Lark rotates their options, which is a real draw here - to see what's available each time you visit. However, even better yet is that when you reach for a price tag in Chester, you'll typically be prepared for sticker shock...and that's simply not the case at Lark, which is an outstanding feeling. Reasonable prices for quality finds that meet a variety of gift-giving needs is a business well worth sharing. Highly recommended.

After arriving in the very cute and little town of Chester, the first business on Water Street is…read moreLark. Lark is a woman's boutique, they sell quality sweaters, purses and other cashmere and wool accessories. There are so many other little accessories, like unique fair trade earrings, and hair accessories. They also have a whole assortment of decor for your home or your Christmas tree. These are my favorite. From little knit bears to a not so little wooden deer. The little knickknacks are truly so unique and equally as adorable. What else is adorable? They have a baby section at Lark. From the tiny holiday dresses, to the softest plushies, and so many toys and books. The one reason I can't give five stars to Lark is the cost, everything is a pretty penny here. If you're looking for cashmere gloves, or some moon and star earrings, this is your place.

I've moved to NC and do miss this quilt store. I was just back to CT for a short and packed trip. A…read morestop at Cate's was on the agenda. OMG. I fell in love with easily 50% of the fabrics (the remainder I can find locally). It was hard to know when to stop - $300 later I'm a very happy quilter with lots of great projects. And a renewal of my quilting spirit. Thank you Cate! Your store is beyond special.

I have shopped at Cate's booth at a few quilt shows in the past, but today was my first visit to…read morethe store. Cate and another employee greeted me as soon as I walked in and directed me to the things that I was looking for. They have a nice variety of quilting fabrics that other shops in the area do not carry, which is nice for those of us who prefer modern fabrics and pattern designs. For those who are not quilters, there is also a nice variety of patterns and fabrics for making garments as well.

What first caught my eye in this tiny boutique, is the assortment of unique brushed sterling silver jewelry. I feel like brushed silver jewelry can be eye catching in its own way. In addition to the beautiful jewelry, you'll also find stunning cashmere and fine wool scarves and accessories. They also have some very funny ornaments, including one of a man in his underwear, covered in tattoos. There are so many creative designs at the Dina Varano Gallery, they will cost you a pretty penny.
