17. I agree about the VT Country Store. It is pricey though.

Oct 2014

I was told by someone that many of the things they sell, are not quite the same as we remember them. Point in case: Lifeboy soap. Used to love that stuff but will not buy it. Was told it was not the same
And -a blast from the past--they have Tangee lipstick. Remember that from Woolworths? When I was a kid, it was about fifteen cents a tube. I believe it is about $15.00 at VCS.
Used to get their catalog but I guess they gave up on me.

It would still be fun to look at but It is on line too.
