A Place That Appeals to All the Senses: Vermont Country Store

(This is a side entrance to the Vermont Country Store)

Mail order catalogs are among the many obsessions that make life interesting.

An absolute favorite mail order catalog comes from the Vermont Country Store in Weston.  It is always good for at least an hour of "dreaming" time. 

On a recent trip to Vermont for a relaxation weekend, a glance at the map showed close proximity to Weston.  Hot ziggedy dog!  A stop at the Vermont Country Store is worth the trip, in itself.

So on the way back to Massachusetts, it was off to Weston.  The next hour and a half provided sheer joy and shopping pleasure.

There is a lot to see, smell, hear, touch, and taste at the Vermont Country Store. In the cheese room, workers cut a startling variety of Vermont cheese into tiny bites visitors can sample. Same with their summer sausages, pepperoni, and so on. It's nibble heaven for the cheese lover.

Candy connosseurs won't go away disappointed, either. The selection at the store would make a kid do a wild happy dance. It's way too tempting for people who don't eat sugar, though, and  sugar lovers trying to avoid the stuff have to exit that area pretty doggone quickly.

The glassware section is a heart-pounder, especially the pink glass selections. (The prices are pretty steep, though, so not too much buying was feasible)

There are more taste possibilities of jams and dips such as shown in this shot to the left.













Raggedy Ann and Andy are there at the store as well as a laughing monkey that shakes when the magic laughter button is pushed!

People, people, and more people enjoy the immense variety of merchandise at the Vermont Country Store.
