Quechee’s mix of high-end artisanal wares (such as Simon Pearce) and unabashedly kitschy shops (one gargantuan hall is dedicated entirely to Christmas) is an exercise in eclecticism.
Stop into the Quechee Gorge Village (5573 Woodstock Rd., on Rte. 4, 802/295-1550, www.quecheegorge.com, 9 a.m.–5 p.m. daily) to find wall after wall of vintage glass, Civil War–era coins, and estate jewelry in the Vermont Antique Mall.
Highland charm pervades at Scotland by the Yard (Rte. 4, 800/295-5351, www.scotlandbytheyard.com, 9 a.m.–5 p.m. daily), where high-quality kilts of genuine Scottish worsted wool tartans (plus sporrans and vests to match) can be bought pre-made or custom-ordered. (Kilts are also sold for women and children, too.) Or pick up a few non-wearable Scottish accessories such as crests or pewter.
Beatles fans may enter Fool on the Hill (8 Wood Rd., 802/457-3641) hoping for nostalgia, but they stay to peruse the charming jumble of wooden cows and sheep, rustic baskets, hand-painted wooden chairs, and blocks of maple-smoked cheddar.. Both Scotland by the Yard and Fool on the Hill are easily spotted from the main road.
