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!

It's located on the main street in downtown stowe and is one of the oldest general stores in Vermont and I would guess in the United states based on the location. You can't miss a pit stop here if you are in downtown Stowe. They are conveniently located a few doors down from a fabulous bookstore as well.

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. Check it out! (Note- I found the photos from their website and posted here).

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.
