Common Deer — Don’t let the name fool you; the treasure at Burlington boutique Common Deer is anything but ordinary. Sharon Beal, captain of this retail ship, has a steadfast dedication to stocking American goods handcrafted with care. Proud Vermonters and visitors alike will find something they can’t resist, from Farmhouse Pottery to delicate and delicious Rackk & Ruin jewelry to the be-all and end-all Green Mountain accessory: Darn Tough socks. Finding sweet harmony between the rugged and the luxurious, Beal shows that she knows a thing or two about what makes Vermont so very deer. Er, dear.
