All Things Bright & Beautiful
Open Daily, 9 am–6 pm
In her unique folkart studio, Gaelic has been creating hand-painted wooden ornaments for over 40 years, and, more recently, larger shelf sitters made from recycled wood featuring cats and dogs. Now she’s invented one-of-a-kind (18”-24”) Father Christmas pieces. Gaelic designs, cuts out, paints and signs each creation. Bring a photo of your pet, and she’ll make something just for you. What fun! Visit and see the artist at work and enjoy Bridge Street: the oldest covered bridge in Vermont, local refreshments and galleries.
