Message: Dropping a note after being in the (it was called Teddy-bear-shop) in the 1987', visiting with the Swiss Ski Club this shop so very often, seeing the cats and the sisters and i never in all my life have seen such an warmhearted shop as this one. A nice hello to the sisters (if they are still there) and a thanks to all of you. it is a MUST! Thanks. Doris.

Message: If you're short on faith in humanity, this is the shop to visit. No scrooge stands a chance. A beautiful business run by equally beautiful women who couldn't be sweeter or more welcoming.. They have been in business 58 years and truly embody the magic of Vermont!

Message: I sound like a broken record when I write these reviews for places in Vermont. These twins here are providing you with a fairy tail experience like no other Vermont store. They have stuffed animals, Christmas ornaments, AND pretty HAND painted bird ornaments. You can purchase items and take them home, but what you’re also getting is a funny story. The one sister has got some jokes and the other sister has Vermonts history like a professor. 10/10 definitely will be coming back here! The drive alone is beautiful.

Message: This is the most darling store with the most darling owners. Beautiful handmade Christmas decorations, a very impressive stuffed animal collection and in the summer the garden is glorious! A must see and you must visit with Gaelic and Bonnie!

Message: Love this shop and these two ladies! Beautiful, high quality glass ornaments from around the world, amazing stuffed animals and great puzzles, but most special are the handmade wooden ornaments Gaelic designs and paints of local landmarks, Santas from all over the world, the 50 states and all 6 VT seasons(! ), including custom orders of your pets. Stop in and chat up sisters Gaelic and Bonnie McTeague and walk out with some of the most unique merchandise you’ll find anywhere!

Message: Best selection of stuffed toys we have ever seen. Gaelic, the owner, is an amazing treasure trove of info regarding the history of stuffed bears. Little Schmoop Bear made so many new friends today.
