   I love your photos. This reminds me a bit of Lowell, Mass. — another town with water-powered fabric mills. I think I might copy those curtains for our kitchen — once we have walls and floors.

   The curtains are so cute. Navy and cream checked wool. The radiators were painted red which made the space extra awesome.

   Love the Simon Pearce shop. Don’t know if you’re aware that the Simon and Pia Pearce’s son, Kevin, was seriously injured at the end of December in Utah, as he headed to the Olympics and his bid to overtake Sean White as top snowboarder in the country. Here’s a link to the latest news on his recovery: http://www.fanhouse.com/news/main/injured-snowboarder-to-be-moved-from/855259 The Pearce’s flew to Utah immediately after the accident and have not left their son’s side. He could use all our prayers.

   Despite the cold, it sounds like a lovely weekend! Of course, Ireland has a proud glass-blowing tradition. I adore the simplicity of the pieces you’ve shown here. And those curtains are perfection!!

   I’ve never been to the Simon Pearce in Vermont, but the store/factory/restaurant in West Chester, Pennsylvania is gorgeously similar, with great views of the Brandywine and yummy food.

   I’ve been to the Pearce store on vacays to Vermont, and own a beautiful glass vase from there. It’s one of my favorite stops when I’m in that area. Your photos of it are stunning as usual. I wish you would tell what camera you have and give some tips! Seeing the Pearce again is fun. Thanks for posting it.

   Mopar, if you want to make similar curtains. I would suggest Mood for fabric. I believe your in New York so it’s just quick ride uptown. They have a ton of wool in the back on the left.

    What an amazing setting, and great photographs! The glassware looks lovely. My husband and I have managed to collect a good bit of Heath, but we haven’t done anything special for glassware – - just some of the Duraflex Picardie glasses for now. This gives me ideas…

    My husband works at Simon Pearce and has for the past 13 years. He transferred from Vermont to the retail and production facility in Maryland. We love the restuarants. Not only do they use all their glassware for their tablesettings, they offer great food. You should try the Vermont Cheddar Cheese Soup! Your pictures are great! For Simon Pearce lovers, go to simonpearce.com, you can purchase their products online.

    I became interested in the glassware when I saw the movie “Something’s Gotta Give” with Jack N. and Diane Keaton. She had the Pearce, Hartland goblets in her table setting. I have admired them for years before I Googled them and found they were the work of Simon Pearce. My wife knew that I loved them and found a similar goblet at Pier One. Of course they were one tenth the cost but I still like them even tho they are not the real deal.

    Hi, My husband, Daughter and Son-inlaw had a wonderful visit to your shops in Quechee last month. I lover the spinach salad at our lunch. I had hoped to find it on the web site but no luck. the dressing was sooo good. It had cranberry chutney in it and the salad topped with spiced walnuts. Any chance you’ll share it ?
