| Our beautiful campsite at
Branbury State Park. |
 |
| Woodstock, Vermont is a
beautiful little town with lovely shops, restaurants and galleries. |
 |
| Of course, NO trip to Vermont is
complete without a visit to The Vermont Country Store in Weston. We
visited here a few years ago and couldn't wait to come back. We left
Branbury State Park, relocating to Horseshoe Acres RV Park near Andover,
VT not far from Weston. After settling in, we headed for Weston for
lunch in the Orton's Bryant House Restaurant and some power shopping. |
 |
| The store is chocked full of
wonderful toys, tools, gadgets and other items from the past. They
even sell clotheslines and were instrumental in getting a law passed in
Vermont that prevents groups like homeowners associations from banning
clotheslines in backyards. Just thinking of hanging clothes outside
on a clothesline in January brings back baaaaaaaaaaaaad memories!!! |
 |
| Anyone for horehound candy or
licorice or any of hundreds of other choices? |
 |
| They consider themselves "purveyors
of practical and hard-to-find products", going to great lengths to
find products that aren't sold anywhere else. The
general store and catalogue business are built on the premise that all
merchandise must be durable and above all - practical. |
 |
| Here, you can browse
for wonderful, classic products that can help simplify your life. The store
has been owned and operated by the Orton family for over 100 years.
Ann spent about 3 hours browsing and shopping here. She didn't buy a
lot but she sure had fun looking. |
