No one in my family sews, knits or needlepoints, and I hadn't been taught elsewhere. Yet, I've always wanted to create something with my hands. Fortunately, Mary Margaret, the owner of Notion Fabric & Craft encouraged me to confront my fear of the sewing machine! It doesn't hurt that her store is NOT overwhelming like many craft stores I've been to. Though she is fully stocked with beautiful fabrics, yarns, patterns, crafting accessories and tools, stepping inside Notion feels like you have been invited into someone's home studio. I have taken two of Mary Margaret's classes. The first one was the first time I ever touched a sewing machine. I left with a beautiful tote bag that I am able to boast that I made. In the second class, she taught us how to make a shirt. Mary Margaret is a wonderful, patient teacher who supports you in all of your mini-milestones and successes, as well as your...uh...learning opportunities along the way. I particularly appreciated her talk about clothing sizes in stores and how all of our bodies are unique and fluctuate from time to time. We can't be defined by someone else's size or idea of a size! The classroom upstairs is a bright and inviting community space. Mary Margaret offers tea and coffee for added coziness. Notion Fabric and Craft is a much needed addition to Montpelier for expert crafters and novices alike. Do yourself a favor and take a class taught by Mary Margaret!

If you appreciate (and are willing to spend $$) fun, retro, etc. kids fashion, then this spot is for you. We found several fun pieces with prints ranging from gold and tennis to artsy farm animals. Many of the clothing items were priced in the $50-$100+ ballpark. Ultimately, the clearance section in the back and toys selection were of most interest as we perused for a gift for our niece. They offer serval thoughtful items that would make good gifts- Lego design sets, piggy banks, etc. The shop is well organized and clean.

After some time I decided to reach out to the manager Marie Kelly who was unwilling to even offer me a partial refund or reshipment. I've been in sales for over 30 years, and I would never treat a customer this way, for any reason ever. I follow a strict policy of treat you customers the same way you'd want to be treated; especially if it means only losing the retail mark-up cost of an item. But, I guess they don't hold ethics in very high esteem. Apparently, the customer isn't always right with yellow-turtle. Order online with this merchant at your own risk.

Only thing is, I always go in to shop for someone else and ALWAYS always leave with more goodies for myself! ;) The couple who run the shop also own the women's clothing boutique next door called Ruelle. 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).
