My eye was more drawn to the Historical Marker in front and then I had to stop and check inside…read more The marker reads, "Old Stone Shop. Built in 1848, by Batcheller & Sons, makers of pitchforks. For many years after 1808, farm implements were manufactured here. Lyman Batcheller & his sons bought the forge in 1835, and their forks became famous throughout the U.S. and Europe. In 1902 they merged with the firm making True Temper products, which re-built the Inn." The marker was erected in 1949 by the Vermont Historic Sites Commission. Inside, not just farm implements but jewelry and toys and furniture and cutting boards and glassware and pottery. It's just amazing to see all of this stuff that is, well, hand made in Vermont.

We were looking for a nice small unique piece of art to remind us of our stay in Vermont. We were impressed by small clay pinch pots that were smooth as glass on the inside. The lady behind the counter asked if we had any questions and I asked about one of the small pots. Ends up she is the artist who makes them. We had a nice long conversation about her process and art in general. We were very impressed with the owner and her shop. We left with two pieces that we will cherish. I highly recommend stopping in. -Jimmy

I don't review much, as I tried to be understanding. This shop is unusually terrible. If I could…read moregive a ZERO, I would. I had a small frame job for my diploma (important doc), 6 x 8. No matte. Nothing complicated. They charged $73. Which could have been ok because it's small shop in Hanover NH (high rent). 1. It took 8 weeks. Dropped it off around 9/8. 2. Framer not in shop, they order frame to send to her off-site. 3. Took over 5 weeks to get the framed work -clerk told me 2-3 wks (had logistical excuses). 4. Framer didn't score the glass right, one edge wasn't clean. They charged a premium. 5. Didn't offer to fix; when I asked (since I'm paying $73), clerk had to text framer off-site and see IF she would fix it. 6. She would, but won't get to it until after 10/21 (whenever convenient for her). No delivery date. Since it's my diploma in a hostage situation, I had to endure. They messed up, charged a lot, no customer service/regret/communication (didn't call when it was going to take longer the first time), wasn't going to rush to correct a mistake. I called a week after 10/21 and they had no idea when I'll get my framed diploma; like I was bothering them by asking questions. 8 weeks of painful experience.

This weekend my husband and I went into Amidons by the Powerhouse Mall in West Leb.l for Christmas…read more I found a pair of Italian gold hoop earrings I loved and noticed a nick in the gold on one earring and a large abrasion/wear on the other. I asked if another pair could be ordered and they weren't sure because it was the weekend and they needed to reach out to the manufacturer. Today they called me back to say it's out of stock. What got to me is that they were perfectly comfortable selling those earrings to me with damage and tried explaining to me that it's the type of polished gold and it will mark up eventually anyways. If you spend $1,000 on a pair of earrings, you want them in nice condition to begin with. I asked if they could fix the damaged ones on display (bc I loved them that much) and the sales rep said no. It's my second bad experience there. Last time I brought my great grandmothers ring there to get it sized. The jeweler accidentally sized down to a thinner band. When I went to pick it up I noticed it right away. The sales rep never apologized and after the rep confirmed the error on the order, they just offered to refund me for the lesser gold. I didn't trust them to take my ring again at this point to fix it. I didn't want this ring to keep getting resized several times when they should've gotten right the first time. I was extremely disappointed because it was a 75+ year old family diamond ring I was gifted to me. It has significant sentimental value to my family and I felt as though it wasn't a big deal to them and just another job to do. I'm not one to make a big deal about things but since this was my second poor experience there. First with the sizing of a family heirloom and second with not caring enough about a piece they're going to sell at full price with visible damage to it. You would think they would care enough about the pieces they sell to be in new condition. I wouldn't have even bought it at a discounted price due to the damage. Wish I took pictures of them to post but in the moment I didn't think of doing this.
