all things underthings • Manchester Vermont
I stayed late in the shop last Friday. We close at 6, but I was still there finishing up some things around 6:20 when I heard footsteps and laughter on the porch and a woman’s voice saying, “The lights are on, let’s try it.” In they came – the three of them – with laughter and a, “Are […]
The week of Washington’s birthday (referred to as Presidents’ Week around these parts) is a BIG week here in southern Vermont, especially in a year like this when there has been a ton of snow. This year, the skiing was great, the hotels and restaurants were full, and it was the first time a lot […]
I made the realization last night that my life has been incredible for one year straight. This revelation has hit me in a powerful way and I just want to keep it going. How do I know it’s been a year? All I did was look back to appointments and notes in my 2013 Day […]

When I offered to help/measure/bring her […]

I’ve seen more men in the shop in the past week than we have since we opened the doors almost six months ago. Like just about everything about opening this “all things underthings” store, this influx of male shoppers is a new experience. Some have come in very sure of what to get […]
Of course, we have a ton of gift ideas at the shop and are happy to help you, but even I have to admit that there isn’t necessarily something for everyone at JOY. I’ve asked Courtney and Connie (two of the smartest, coolest, and most sensible women I’ve ever met) to tell us a little bit […]
