ShelburneFallsMA

This small town in the Berkshire foothills is famous for it's Bridge of Flowers. The former trolley bridge is now a garden lovingly cared for by the Women's Club. The town is nearly surrounded by a scenic state park and state forest.

Shelburne is also a great place to shop for art, quilts, pottery, stained glass, iron and leather products, and other handmade treasures. You can meet many of the artists and watch them work here.

Why shop online?

Prices and selection are often better from these Web sites than in your
neighborhood stores. Many of them offer free packing and shipping to
your door or to your gift recipient. So, you can save time, gas, and

on QuaintPlaces.com.

Did you know?

When you place an order from these merchants, they contribute a small
commission to QuaintPlaces.com. These commissions do not increase
the cost of your purchases. Only purchases made within a few days
after your initial "click" to their sites generate commissions for us.
(Please do not delete your cookies.)

These commissions, plus sales of our own photos and cards, are
necessary to help defray the cost of maintaining QuaintPlaces.com,
