There isn't all that much in the way of online one-stop-shops, as it were for international shopping; generally you need to Google your destination with words like "shopping" and "souvenirs." One exception:

Happy New Year and Greetings from the finally snowy mountains of Vermont!  Winter here at the Silas Griffith Inn is full of wonder, quiet, plenty of places to relax and lots of things to do for everyone.  Start your day with a custom cooked breakfast with our own farm-fresh eggs, Vermont Cheddar cheese, local milk and more.  Then enjoy amazing outdoor sports, indoor museums, shopping, great restaurants and one of the best independent bookstores in New England, the Northshire Bookstore in Manchester Center.

This year we're offering a FREE 3rd night when you stay 2 consecutive nights.  Can't take a 3-day weekend?  No Problem - We'll take 15% off any 2-night stay.  Want a longer vacation?  Call us and we'll mix and match the specials to get you the best rate on your vacation! Our winter specials run through March 30, 2013.

Did I mention that we have a huge meadow right here for snow shoeing?  A great little hill for sledding and sled? And that we are just 21 miles from Bromley, 26 miles from Stratton and just 34 miles from Killington? Or that Okemo is 27 miles away and Pico just 30 miles to the north?  How about a romantic sleigh/wagon ride to a bonfire and s'mores right here in Danby?  Shopping? - we have the Manchester Designer Outlets just 14 miles south.

We're very friendly - pets, kids, couples of all ilks, reunions, retreats.  We are now part of the Vermont Ambassador Program and a Vermont Info center.  This means we can help you find almost any information you need to plan your escape.

Thanks for taking the time to read this and for considering an Independent, Family owned and operated Vermont Bed and Breakfast for your next vacation!  Happy New Year!

The Silas Griffith Inn is proud to announce its New Summer mid-week specials - all King/Queen/Twin rooms just $99/night and still includes breakfast!  Enjoy hikes, shopping, museums, theater and more without the weekend crowds.  Or just sit and relax in this quiet Historic Inn/B&B in the quaint little village of Danby, Vermont.  Family friendly and pet friendly! Ask about other specials and weekly rates and large group rates.  Now available - dog walking is included in the pet fee, so if it is too hot or cold Fido can stay comfortable in your room.

If you're heading to Vermont for any reason visit Manchester Designer Outlets.Lots of stores from local artists, international imports and name-brand designers.  Plus, stay with us at The Silas Griffith Inn and get a wonderful coupon book with discounts, free items, and BOGO coupons.

Bad news: The The great Bluestone Gallery in Milford, PA, which displays works by potter and bell-maker David Greenbaum and other nationally known artists and artisans, is going out of business. The good news is that Bluestone has dramatically reduced its prices for its final week. This is a chance to pick up quality pieces at a fraction of what they'd normally cost.

I'm leaving for San Miguel de Allende, Mexico next month and wondering if the group has any shopping secrets that they would like to share. I'm interested in unique luxury jewelry, clothing and pottery.

Thanks,

Rose
