Much as expected, Vermont is lovely!
Ot's the perfect mix of Nature, quaint towns, beautiful landscapes, good food, and VERY nice people.
We have been bopping around Londonderry VT, stopping in pretty places, eating lovely food, browsing some really nice shops that are - surprise! - NOT Walmart, or Target, or some other form of mass-produced merchandise temples. So very refreshing!
We stopped by Green Mountain Spinnery to oogle the pretty yarns, but more interesting to me, their tarn spinning operations facility. Very nice to see all the mechanical things - something AI simply does not have in grip yet.
My favorite bit was the yarn skeins hanging from the ceiling and old wooden spools. 🧶
On the way we stopped for some pie at Grandma Miller's Pies and Pastries - oh yes, buy them all! They are fantastic!🥧
Also along the way, we found this cute little yarn shop Loose Ladies just a few minutes too late to go in, they closed. 🥺
We also stopped in the woods on the way to collect some birch bark for a few projects to try out.
And then, we spent almost two hours browsing around the The Vermont Country Store. So cool to see all the old store furnishings, toys, and various "old-timey classics"
that were part of my world when I was a lot younger. It was very therapeutic to see all that, and, at least for those few moments, feel like the world is still somewhat normal.😊
So here's a photo dump of a variety of things from yesterday...So VERY nice to finally put real experiences to what my imagination was expecting in .
