Shop Small, Shop Handmade

As we sink deeper into the winter and the holidays quickly approach, it’s the best time to think about finding gifts for loved ones in your life. Nothing says you care quite like a handmade gift. Whether it be a birthday, holiday, or any occasion; a handmade gift elevates the experience and is a far more personal gesture than something mass-produced. Handmade gifts have history, you can see the time and effort that went into creating the work, and feel the connection to the artist. 

Give a One of a Kind Gift

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Giving a one-of-a-kind gift this season is the perfect way to honor the unique people in your life. One-of-a-kind items are inherently unique, they’re impossible to find anywhere else, you’ll be gifting an experience that can’t be recreated. The majority of our offerings at Remarkable Things are one-of-a-kind, and can only be found in our store and our One of a Kind Gift Shop.

A favorite one-of-a-kind item comes from our large collection of Basin Reclaimed wall art – each piece is created from recycled materials into beautiful and sustainable wall art. Most feature peaceful moonlit ski slopes and mountain roads, perfectly encapsulating wintertime in Vermont. Discover even more Handmade Art & Sculpture from Stowe, Vermont’s best art gallery!

Handmade Jewelry

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Another favorite one-of-a-kind artist is Terri Logan. She creates unique and distinct handmade jewelry from hand selecting each gem and river stone to creating clasps and closures.  No two pieces or stones are ever the same, each piece is entirely individual and one-of-a-kind. The attention to detail in Terri’s jewelry is unmatched and is immediately noticeable when wearing her pieces. Recently, Terri has gotten into the winter spirit creating a new snow-themed necklace design. This design features a snowflake patterned gemstone suspended from a handmade silver chain. The perfect accent piece to carry you through the coming months of snowfall.

Only in Stowe

Speaking of snow, much like Terri Logan’s handmade jewelry, the snowfall in Stowe has us feeling inspired! We’ve selected artists who remind us of our home so you can bring the joy of a Stowe snowfall wherever you may be.

Local Stowe area resident and puzzle enthusiast Kent Gardner is creating vintage puzzle sets based on popular areas around Mount Mansfield and Stowe. Any Stowe lover is sure to find an iconic scene they’ll recognize.

Stowe local Summerproof Designs creates wall art that will transport you right to Spruce peak here in Stowe. Creating sculptural wall-hanging gondolas, ski lifts, and mountain signs that will make you want to pull out your skis regardless of the locale. Still not enough skiing for you? We also have mountain and ski-themed ornaments that are perfect for hanging around the holidays to keep your ski dreams sliding.

Made in Vermont

Looking for the perfect Vermont lovers’ gift? We have a huge selection of gifts made locally as well as several Vermont-themed gifts. Find the perfect gift for your loyal Vermont resident or for the ones that have strayed away and miss the good ol’ Green Mountains. Items like Vermont-themed art, wall hanging relief maps, locally made CBD, ornaments, and puzzles are just a glance at what you can expect in our store.

Check out the Made in Vermont section of our gift shop for more unique Vermont-inspired ideas.

A new addition to our Vermont-inspired item selection are these in-house designed Vermont pillows. They are velvety soft to the touch, stain resistant and perfect for lounging. Available in blue, green, and grey, they feature a leather patch of the Green Mountain State – a perfect accent piece to show off your VT pride! We also have a square Vermont Pillow in blue.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Need something more Vermonty? Now, you can wear your favorite mountain – Mount Mansfield! It will remind you (or those you gift it to) of your Stowe adventures every time you put it on. Whether you hike, bike, or ski the trails, it’s the perfect gift for mountain lovers. It’s literally created using topographical data of Mansfield, Vermont’s tallest mountain.                  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A great idea for a unique gift would be one of our handcrafted pocket knives. We carry a huge selection of finely detailed and unique designs, find one that’ll match the personality of the person you’re gifting to.

Another unique gift perfect for this season would be something from our Sticks Printed collection. These gifts are created using a high resolution photograph of an original Sticks hand drawn, painted, etched and stained piece. The result? An affordable gift based on an original artisan design. 

Getting a late start on your holiday shopping? No worries, a handmade gift never feels like an afterthought. Handcrafted gifts add a personal touch, each piece is made by an individual, for an individual. Picking a unique handmade gift means you know they won’t already have one. Find a gift that represents their personality or style and leave an authentic impression they won’t soon forget. 

Whatever your plans may be this holiday season if you’re giving gifts this year, leave the right impression and thank you for shopping small & handmade! 
American Craft Week Recap

American Craft Week Recap

 

 

AMERICAN CRAFT WEEK

American Craft Week took place this year October 1-10, 2021. With 30 events and 100+ Vermont artists participating, there was a lot to take in! As the leaves continue to change and the nation’s largest annual craft celebration coming to a close, we decided to highlight some of the best moments of the week!

Open Studio Tours

In association with the Vermont Crafts Council, dozens of Vermont Artists hosted open studio events where they allowed craft enthusiasts to enter their shops and check out their studios first hand. Over 108 Vermont artists opened their doors to the public for conversation and an inside look at their process. This event was the perfect opportunity for craft enthusiasts to explore Vermont and get to know its numerous artisans. Travelers chose their own adventures, exploring with their handy craft studio maps provided by the Crafts Council.

 

Foliage Festival

Stowe Foliage Festival

The annual Stowe Foliage Arts Festival took place during the last weekend of American Craft Week. The festival coincides with the changing of the leaves, Vermont’s most colorful time of year. With over 150 fine artists and artisans the Foliage Festival gives craft lovers another opportunity to interact directly with artists and appreciate their work first hand. Several artists offered craft demos and other interactive events. This year’s foliage festival was a resounding success, bringing together Stowe locals as well as interested tourists from across the country in reverence of fine art and nature. More information about the foliage festival as well as other upcoming events can be found here.

Stephen was able to describe the unique qualities of each artist and highlight the time-honored techniques utilized in their work.
