VT Country Store and Blogger Linkup

Posted on the 22 January 2012 by Mattie @comfyconfident

I love Country Stores. Maybe because I am from New England or maybe because I love free samples. Either way Country Stores kick a**!!
The Vermont Country Store in Weston, VT is one for the record books. If you are ever in Vermont, you have to stop by. No matter what, if I am driving through Weston, I make a pit-stop.

 

Yesterday there was a fabulous sunset when we arrived.

The rustic wood floor, post and beam structure and classic VT treats like maple syrup and cheese make it feel like you are walking into a vintage VT barn.

My favorite thing in the whole wide world is penny candy. I love making a bag full of random candy assortments. My favorite candy’s are Swedish fish, cinnamon bears, watermelon Sour Patch Kids, gummy frogs… oh the list goes on!

So much candy…

Chocolate…

Fudge…
Look at all the samples

Cheese…
Over 50 varieties

 
Not pictured includes, but no limited to

Clothes
And so much more…

Have you ever been to a Country Store? What is your favorite part?

I love reading blogs! Honestly, it is pretty new to me; I can not believe this whole world on the internet existed and I had no clue. Now that I have found it, I am addicted. I wanted to share some of my favorite posts so every one can appreciate how great the blog-o-sphere is! ENJOY!
