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.

The outside looks like a cute little cottage, but the inside, it's Christmas! There's a massive tree, all lit up and with a blue theme of ornaments. I'm actually curious as to how this large tree made its way into this little shop, with its elf sized door. If you need a special ornament this is the place to go, there's so many unique ornaments at The Pink Sleigh. There's miniature trees across the whole store, and they're themed. One of them had birds and penguins, another one had food and candy, another one's all decked out with drinks, and another one got Santa. You can take the stairs upstairs to see more goods and the view from above. I got this adorable ornament that's Santa's suit with the captioning, "Gone to the beach, Love Santa" They packaged it beautifully in pink tissue paper and a really nice box. In addition to the wide variety of ornaments they also sell, tree skirts, Christmas lights, figurines and so much more. The Pink Sleigh is open late August to December 24th. During the month of December they're open everyday, prior to December on select days. This store is so magical, please stop by and see it for your self!

A rustic old barn turned into a Christmas store made us feel like we were in Vermont. I was expecting it to be pricey; however the ornaments were reasonably priced.

It is apparently the largest in New England. They even have a fairy garden. It really is picturesque. It was a drive for me but worth it. The farm was beautiful and unlike anything I've ever seen or smelled. The lavender plants were so pretty with bees buzzing everywhere. The gift shop was filled to the brim with local items and many lavender products such as bug spray, soaps, hand sanitizers, etc. We went on the trolley and the driver was very informative about the property. They are also fully solar powered. If you love farms, flowers, and wholesome activities, this is worth the visit.

Beautiful grounds. Felt slightly unwelcome…read more We drove one hour to the farm and were very excited. An employee sped into the exit and parked and rushed towards us as we were stepping out of the car. She did a b line to us and we thought it was serious. She told us that they weren't even open and we were parked on the wrong side of the parking lot near barn. Due to her approach we thought that we were perhaps an hour early but when we asked what time they open she said 10 am. It was 9:50 am. I wish she had approached us differently. Why not just say that they will be opening in ten minutes. We weren't trying to get inside. We had just commuted an hour and stretching out. It was so unwelcoming. On the other hand a young man on a tractor said welcome while driving by us. The farm itself is lovely!

I generally like Riggio's selection of plants and garden gear. We are longtime customers. I was…read moreblindsided however in early August when I was reconciling my bank statements to my debit purchase receipts. Neither of Reggio's charges matched the register receipts that I was given. Both were several dollars more but were not identical charges. So this week I finally went in to ask about the discrepancies and they showed me this dinky ( 3x4") notice in a small plastic stand on the counter saying that the store/nursery prices as of June 1 were "cash prices" and use of a CC or debit would result in a % up-charge. I up until recently owned a small business and I also did occasionally discount for cash but my prices were my prices and a discount was a discount from the marked price, no surprises at checkout. I will likely not continue to patronize Riggios because our purchases tend to aggregate to larger sums and we don't carry that kind of cash. It's also hard to keep a running total in my head when there is a service charge due at the counter. Not ideal folks. Just be aware of this.

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.

They also have some very funny ornaments, including one of a man in his underwear, covered in tattoos.
