Walking through the forest at Quechee Gorge in Vermont I stumbled over a survey marker from 1972. What a good rubbing that would have made ..... then in the midst of the path, a tree with bark that was so like a painting from the impressionists ... and I will always remember Vermont for the clear, sweet pine air that permeates every fibre of one's being.
Spent a few hours in Delectable Mountain Cloth in a Brattleborough, Vermont. The shop is filled with silks, exquisite cloths, buttons and many different accessories - all under one cramped roof and creating a visual overload of sumptuousness. This is also a place of lace, brocade and all things romantic and beautiful - especially for something as special as the ring-bearer's pillow which needs to be finished in ... less than three weeks!
