Sweet Threads Gift Shop is brimming with all manner of gifts including Braintree bowls hand-crafted by Paul Blossom from burls and dropped antlers, needlework, ornaments, hummel dolls, syrup, Vermont books, handcrafted dolls and infant gifts. Co-owner Julia Haupt bubbles with excitement when talking about one-of-a-kind decorations like her large "scroll" of birch bark tastefully festooned with woods-gathered natural decoration for "wreath-like" display over the holidays and throughout the winter.
