Finding all the local crystal shops Vermont does so well. This place has got all your meditation,…read morealternative healing, new age goodness covered. 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!

We stopped in after a long hike, looking for flip flops and souvenirs on our way to The Alchemist…read more While wandering upstairs (following a sign for "tee shirts & sweatshirts"), we were abruptly yelled at by an older man with white hair and glasses, accusing us of ignoring an "employees only" sign and, oddly, implying we might be stealing. A simple, polite redirection that the upstairs wasn't open to customers would have sufficed. Instead, the tone was sharp, public, and unnecessarily rude. We apologized and explained we hadn't seen the sign, but he reacted as though we were being dishonest, then proceeded to complain about us to another employee while we were still within earshot--all very awkward and unprofessional. I would strongly encourage the owners to reconsider how customers are approached, as it reflects poorly on an otherwise generic but pleasant shop. Perhaps looking like you've just enjoyed Vermont's outdoors isn't quite the right aesthetic to be treated kindly here. Thankfully, the hike--and The Alchemist--more than made up for it. That said, I wouldn't return to this store to purchase an Advil.

Definitely worth checking out as well. They bought Stowe Street Emporium from a sweet older couple several years back, and have done an amazing job maintaining its original homey charm, while reinventing it w/their unique brand of coolness, style and fun.

My…read morepartner put so much thought into us going there, getting dressed and ready to have a really whimsical afternoon. We got there and they claimed that due to a scheduling issue the only place they could seat us was an extremely dirty section of lawn furniture that had zero views of the garden, but a perfect view of the kitchen and everybody else being seated at tables. In our area they literally brushed off dirt and debris on stained cushions in front of us, and expected us to sit there in our white linens which visibly stained my partner's pants. It turned out there were a number of tables that were available. It felt like we were being isolated into a colored section as people of color. They then had the audacity to ask for a full price and a sizable tip for a really awful experience. A place to avoid. Does not make the green book.
