vaillancourt folk art

So many beautiful things to see and buy. Yup, it's expensive but it's all hand painted and if you stop during the day you can see them painting it's pretty neat. Not a great place for little kiddos to run around but they will think it's really neat to see!

Judi and Gary Vaillancourt have been creating gorgeous holiday chalkware figures for 30 years! They use antique chocolate molds - as well as custom molds - to create pieces for every holiday - Christmas, Halloween, Easter, Valentine's Day. You can call and arrange a tour of their workshop to watch their talented crafts people at work! They have a fantastic retail store - plus a museum showcasing every piece they have made. They put a lot of love and care into every piece that they create and they are definitely works of art! They are located just south of Worcester and east of Sturbridge. Our visit to Vaillancourt Folk Art was one of the highlights of our trip to New England!
