In the rolling farm hills of historic Peacham, VT is a charming antiques and uniques shop run by a lovely couple, Paul and Jean Evans. P.G. Evans Country Home Provisions is situated just off the beaten path (the Danville-Peacham Rd) in an early 1800′s mill house. They boast “an eclectic blend of country furniture and embellishments for your home” and they don’t disappoint. The shop has a wide variety of things to help countrify your home, including furniture (showcasing the hand-made work of Paul) and all sorts of knick-knacks that illustrate theirs love for a good antique hunt and an eye for interesting pieces.

There is something for everyone but your bound to find a bargain. I picked up a large weathered carpenter’s toolbox for just $23, something I had seen at other places for well over $200. The best part of P.G. Evans Country Home Provisions is Paul and Jean themselves, who were kind and warm and we found ourselves chatting for quite a while. This is a perfect edition to a lazy day road trip through the Northeast Kingdom countryside.

Don’t forget to pick up some of Jean’s hand-made soap.

If you want a snapshot of historic Northeast Kingdom Vermont then take a drive through Craftsbury Commons, in Orleans County. If you want to also leave with a trunk full of antiques and Vermont hand-made “uniquities” then go when the Annual Antiques & Uniques Festival is going on.

The festival, in part to support Vermont Children’s Aid Society, offers all the antiques and crafts you can shake a turn-of-the-century stick at, but also live music, great food, and activities for the kids makes this a fantastic Northeast Kingdom day trip. You want to get there early so that you don’t miss out on great deals. We made this an afternoon trip and were a little bummed that we didn’t get to spend more time there. The people were really nice while we were still rummaging through their stands while they were trying to pack, and everyone was really friendly.

Craftsbury is such a unique town that you just might want to make a weekend trip out of it. Enjoy the tranquil beauty of this Vermont gem by staying right on the common at The Inn on the Common, 1162 North Craftsbury Road Craftsbury Common, VT 802-586-9619

Remember to bring cash!

Slow down, you won’t want to miss this! If you happen to be driving through the town of Glover, VT you just might. Nestled in the backyard behind an old brick house is a little red barn – just before the bridge. Yep, that’s right, the one you just passed. Turn around a pull into [...]

Slow down, you won’t want to miss this! If you happen to be driving through the town of Glover, VT you just might. Nestled in the backyard behind an old brick house is a little red barn – just before the bridge. Yep, that’s right, the one you just passed. Turn around a pull into the driveway. You have arrived at the Red Sky Trading Co.

Owned by Doug and Cheri Safford the Red Sky Trading Co offers some of the tastiest homemade doughnuts, “free-trade”coffee, and assortment of homemade jams. Relax in an Adirondack chair (also for sale) and enjoy your refreshments listening to the Barton River bubble by or browse around the “Shabby Shack” for some antiques.

Hang out long enough and you might get a chance to meet Doug or Cheri. I had a chance to chat with Doug for a bit. He was happy to share the history of the place and talk about how their recent article in Vemont Life came to be. Don’t worry if you don’t see anyone around, payment is based on the honor system (so bring cash).

Typical Vermont, a big splash of style, and some high calorie treats make this a must see on any Northeast Kingdom roadtrip.
