1933-1944 Driftwood Poem Books. Repurposed wallpaper as the covers making each one unique.

Driftwind was founded in 1926 by Walter John Coates, a former minister turned publisher, as an independent "little magazine" dedicated to archiving and promoting New England literature, specifically Vermont poets.

Coates and his successors routinely hand-bound the chapbooks using unique materials, including leftover commercial wallpaper samples and birch bark.

$9 each, 3/$22, 6/$45 - timeworn but beautiful works of art and history.

Exciting first timers business owners during River Boat Days

Jozie at The Boxcar Sweet Stop and
Myself, Tesa at Violas Garden Market

**My First Riverboat Days as a Business Owner! 🚂🍦🎉**

I don’t think I could have imagined how crazy, exciting, exhausting, and FUN this week would be.

This weekend feels extra special because I get to experience it from a whole new perspective — not just as someone attending and having fun at Riverboat Days, but as the owner of The Boxcar Sweet Stop. 🚂✨

I’m so incredibly thankful for everyone who has supported me, stopped in, shared our posts, brought their families, bought an ice cream, or simply cheered me on through this crazy adventure. ❤️

So come see us at **BOTH locations!** 🎉

📍 **The Boxcar Sweet Stop — 110 Capital St.**
📍 **Ice Cream Shack — parked behind Levee Street Steakhouse**

🍦 SO many ice cream treats
🧸 SO many squishies
✨ Light-up toys for the fireworks
🍭 Candy & fun
🎉 And LOTS of Riverboat Days excitement!

**My first Riverboat Days as a business owner… LET’S DO THIS! 🚂**
