On March 29, 2010 I took Bill to Shelburne, Mass for a birthday excursion. This was plan C on a list of birthday ideas since the weather did not get the memo about plan A or B! We began the day as friends and we we ended the day as a couple. A few months later, in the presence of my family, Bill proposed. In other words, Shelburne has a special place in our memories.
Shelburne is the kind of town where, if you live there, everyone knows your name. It is very small, very picturesque, very friendly and very supportive of their local economy. If you want locally grown - locally made - locally raised anything, then visit just about any store in the town. The people there are so very friendly. We were actually given a mini-guided tour for 20 minutes by some of the local folk! For lunch, we had one of the best mac and cheese ever at Mccusker's Market, a food coop. We also had amazing cookies - freshly baked and filled with chocolaty - nutty goodness!

Throughout the day we visited several of the local shops. We spent ample time enjoing the view from outside Mole Hollow Candles and stacking up on our candle supply. The main Mole Hollow store is in Sturbridge, MA.
We did not get a chance to sample any treats from the local creamery, but this is one of our favorite places so, we probably will sometime this summer.
We have been to Shelburne twice since our first expereince. We checked out Ollie's Downunder for dinner. I (Rachel) cannot remember what I had or whether I liked it.
