The Velvet Goose in Gardner is an outstanding store, both for lovely, special children's wear and for beautiful adult things like Fresh Produce and Vera Bradley items. The owner, Patty, is so personable and really knows the meaning of "customer service". They have regular every-day kids clothing plus beautiful specialty items like christening and first communion wear. She also carried high-end toys and gifts, beautiful books and Webkins. Its a pleasure to shop here!
