I bought the most unique and colorful belt that is handmade for $28! Bought a 100% recycled big bag for $4.50! You can't beat these prices cause everything around town would be more expensive! Everything here is very affordable and we can't wait to go back! Even my husband had to buy things and he HATES shopping hahaha Love this place!

Vermont Lanterns are one of the few places to buy hurricane lanterns made out of brass, so I was…read morevery optimistic to try one out. I purchased the "Brass Mini Patio Hurricane" lantern, because I loved the design. It leaked. Their site even says that it has a "new and improved double wall tank design", which implies earlier versions had leak issues. Mine leaked from the base, near the weld seams for the two handles. I did everything correct; only filled it half full, never tipped it, etc. It was definitely a leak from the seam. I called them, and the gentleman I spoke with was very polite, and quickly shipped me a replacement. As much as I appreciated it, the replacement leaked in the exact same way. The hassle of going through a second return process was simply too much. It can sit on the counter as a display piece, but it's very unfortunate I can't use it as a lantern. I bought a Feuerhand lantern like everyone suggested in the first place, and it has been flawless. I won't buy another from Vermont Lanterns.

Quality is good, and it arrived well packed. Although great care was taken in packing the lantern (box within a box, padding everywhere) the glass globe arrived cracked due to rough handling. Called Vermont Lantern, immediately got a person on the phone, explained my situation, gave the order number, and they've already shipped out a replacement globe free of charge. Should arrive within the week. This is exactly the kind of online shopping experience I wish was standard across the web. I'd recommend this business to my family and friends.

And get lost in the selection of curated items that they stock -- including interesting books on all kinds of topics from Ernest Shackleton (one of Charles's not-so-distant ancestors) to farm-to-table cookery, fountain pens, and local maple syrup. The proprietors, Charles and Miranda, are usually buzzing around somewhere. They are two of the friendliest business owners I've met and will take time out of their day to talk to you about their lives and work in this part of the world. They will make you long for the New England country life...also, if you're tempted by a mug, talk to Miranda. She has some wonderful thoughts on mugs and how they accompany us through our daily lives and should therefore be functional and beautiful and make you happy every time you use them (this is basically the overarching philosophy of ST)...your choice of mug says a lot about you, apparently...just try not to overthink it ;) The prices are commensurate with the long and loving labor that goes into each piece -- which means that I'll be saving up for my first Shackleton Thomas four poster bed (or maybe cocktail cabinet?) for the best part of my career. But do not fear! Thanks to the wonderful selection of pottery "seconds" that make it to the shelves, a unique mug or cereal bowl are within reach of every budget. Definitely do check out the seconds (bits of pottery pieces that didn't make the cut -- think: a tiny smudge of glaze where it shouldn't be, or a decorative rabbit with one ear slightly bigger than the other made by an apprentice potter). All three of the mugs I've bought here have been seconds (less than $35 each, I think) and I think their tiny flaws make them even more beautiful than the "perfect" version. In fact, I am about to drink my morning coffee from my favorite Devonshire mug (I love the combination of rough and smooth, and the understated, earthy tones). All-in-all, definitely stop by if you're in the area. You will leave inspired and humbled by ST's commitment to creating beautiful and useful (and never pretentious) objects by hand, and with a new (and better) reason to save your pennies!

I went there for their Memorial Day sale and this is quite an expensive store but they had a 10% off sale for the whole store. I eagerly went inside and realized that all of their items have been marked up. When I asked a women who worked there if the sale was the cheaper price under the more expensive sticker price she stated that it was 10% off the remarked price. She said they came from their other warehouse, I asked if all the pottery was made in the back studio and she said they had "another studio". There was still no explanation for why everything had the prices marked up JUST for the sale. I am disappointed that they would take advantage of people especially during a holiday that is about respecting and memorializing Americas hero's.
