2 Best Places to Shop in Shelburne, Northern Vermont

It should come as no surprise that this bookstore is notable for its whimsy and carefully curated children's section: one of the founders is a picture-book author, and the other is a stand-up comedian.

As you enter this store, you'll feel as though you've stepped back in time. Walk past the potbelly stove and take in the aroma emanating from the fudge neatly piled behind huge antique glass cases, alongside a vast selection of penny candies and chocolates. There are creemees, of course, but here the specialties are candles, weather vanes, glassware, and local foods.
