Thirty-odd
270 Pine St., thirtyodd.com
Love local art? (If you’re reading this guide, we have a hunch the answer is yes.) Then you’ll dig Thirty-odd, a gift shop that aptly features the works of about 30 local artists, from textiles to prints to Vermont-themed souvenirs. Owner Moe O’Hara, aka Recycle Moe, is an artist herself who fashions notebooks from old children’s books and coin purses from cassette tapes. Find her wares for sale alongside darkly funny magnets featuring Martha Hulls “cute and deadly art,” botanical stained glass by Root Studio (Carrie Root) and adorably “scary monsters” by Big Girl Company (Gretchen Verplanck). Quirky finds are hidden around every corner. Thirty-odd’s September juried show, “Unlikely Pairs,” strives to “defy expectations and cause friction.” Color us 30 different shades of intrigued.

Burlington Vintage Market
377 Pine St., instagram.com/burlingtonvintagemarket
Held every summer Saturday, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., the Burlington Vintage Market is one big treasure trove for vintage clothes. Its vendors boast everything from boots to leather jackets to T-shirts — you might even score a vintage UVM relic. There’s no better way to start the weekend than by browsing the racks outside Barge Canal Market with a Burlington Farmers Market coffee in hand.
The Lamp Shop
424 Pine St., shopthelamp.com
As Liz Segal and Andy Arp looked for lighting options for their first home in 2000, a unique opportunity arose: His family was selling the contents of a “fabulously funky” lighting shop in New York. Instead of buying a few fixtures, the couple acquired the whole inventory, and the Lamp Shop was born. Today, it offers an eclectic collection, from chandeliers to desk lamps and everything in between.
Pitchfork Pickle
266 Pine St., Suite 121, pitchforkpickle.com
Electric Deer Fence Kraut and Spicy Squickles are among the uniquely pickled products sold at Pitchfork Pickle, which creates krauts, kimchi, condiments and, yes, pickles from locally sourced vegetables inside the Soda Plant. Fermentation fanatics can even try the brand’s pickle-inspired recipes if they’re feeling brave. But how to choose between Polish pickle soup and chocolate sauerkraut cake?

It’s a one-stop shop for just about any crafting needs.
