Well, NT Ferro's felt the need to take such from my family? What am I talking about? Well, read on............ Our grandmother had recently passed and left some heirlom jewlery to us. We had it appraised at another reputable jeweler and were told a certain amount. With that said, we then took it to NT Ferro's- what a mistake! NT Ferros is where we took our recently inherited jewelry to see what our options were as far as reselling/consigning and have what we were hoping to be a positive experience.You may want to grab a chair as you may feel sick and floored the same way I did, to the point that you can't even stand. The jewelry that we left in the trust of their hands (as well as upon their request that we leave in their possesion) was then held for ransom like a hijacked train and with the appraisal at half the amount of what was originally told to us from the previous reputable jeweler. We were then told that the items would only be released upon a fee of $50! Are you kidding!! Talk about taking advantage of someone in their time of requesting help!! Well we must have known about this you say?? I even had to second guess myself but there was absolutely no mention, nothing in writing. Only a claim ticket of the items-that was it. Maybe you say that they cleaned the items, restored them, etc.....nope. They were in the exact same condition. Maybe you say they went out of their way to research the items further........nope. They tried to tell us they were only willing to give us a considerable amount (basically half!) of the appraised value we were originally quoted. Even the mall kiosks would offer more than that (not that this is what I was looking to do, but it was that insulting) Maybe they came back with some kind of golden ticket or back rub at least???? NO!! The only thing NT Ferros should have offered us along with all this aggrevation is some advil for all the headache and pain they caused! Heck, even some Pepto for the fact that they made me sick to my stomach! Avoid this place at all costs, unless your in the mood to go in your backyard and pick a few bills off your money tree to throw into the garbage.

Support Local +++…read more Ambiance is that of the disappearing "OLD Vermont" hardware store. It's in a big building in downtown Rochester and has a big presence. The building has been here for over a century and it used to be a mortuary. The Hardware at Rochester is a part of Do it Best co-op and is located across from the grocery store on SR100. +++ Products and services are of a typical VT hardware store. The Hardware at Rochester (HR) is well stocked with a good range of hardware, home improvement and outdoor supplies. Over the years, we've bought gardening, seeds, bbq, light bulbs, plumbing products and pellets for our stove/fp., etc. Though HR somewhat serves as a general store beyond just a hardware store. They have a little of everything....house supplies, cute socks, sun hats and if you are in a bind with your hikers, they even have work boots that will get you by. If you are staying nearby and need something, this the place to check before having to drive to a city. Often, they will save you a trip :). + Price is typical for the area. +++ Service is friendly and knowledgeable! Rochester Hardware serves the surrounding Green Mountain area locals, vacationers as well as many visitors driving through Rochester. If they don't have it, ask to see if they can order it for you. + Parking is easy on Main or in the grocery store parking lot.

The salesperson who came to measure rushed through, missed some important things. Second, he failed to remember or just ignored an important item so a feature we really wanted didn't happen and we weren't told it wouldn't happen. This last bit felt like a deliberate change because it would have involved them getting a part from another company. Not ok. Feels like they figured by the time we got their cabinets--which took a long time (!) we'd settle. We did but not happily. Insist they take time with you or send them away. There are other companies making fine cabinets.

The Brandon Artists Guild features several dozen artists who sell a variety of artisan creations such as jewelry, mobiles, pottery, paintings, prints, stained glass, and one of a kind artist renderings. In the past I have received Christmas gifts from family members including: Hand-Carved Native American Walking Sticks; and a Hand-Painted Christmas Ornament by local Artist and Children's Author Ashley Wolff. Ms. Wolff will also be featured in the upcoming exhibit "Art of Water." See: Etsy Shop-Ashley Wolff https://www.etsy.com/shop/AshleyWolffArt?section_id=19947499 All gift purchases at the Brandon Artists Guild are delightfully packaged and presented in a "classy" manner. FYI-Art of Water Exhibition "There's something in the water here at the Brandon Artists Guild as we present the third of our Earth-themed twentieth anniversary shows: Art of Water. "We're drawing from a deep well of creativity for this exhibit," says photographer and long time Guild member Lowell Snowden Klock. "The water theme lets our imaginations flow. Like the previous shows in the series, there's a lot of diversity and energy." The all-member, all-media show includes ceramics, collage, watercolor, oils, photography, glass and more, all linked by the theme of water. Art of Water will run from June 28 through Tuesday, August 27. Join us at the opening reception on Friday, June 28 from 5PM to 7PM. All are welcome."

I recommend getting breakfast, lunch, or dinner at Cafe Provence less than a block away on the same side of the street as the Guild and the Cafe offers wine tasting, a gourmet shop, and "authentic" French cooking as the local Chef is from France. There is also outdoor seating which is lovely in the summer or fall seasons.
