A little piece of Vermont, ready to send. 💌🌿

We’re excited to feature these beautiful boxed cards from Carve Designs, created by a local artist based in Calais, Vermont.

Supporting local artists is a big part of what we love to do at Bear Pond Books. Our shop is home to the work of many talented Vermont makers and artists, and we’re always happy to give their work a little more shelf space—and a lot more love.

Stop in, find a favorite, and send a little Vermont inspiration to someone you love. 💚
