They ruined my favorite pair of earrings.... all they had to do was reset a pearl. They then took the gold leaf coating off thinking they were "cleaning" the earrings. They don't know much about jewelry!!!!!!! They were not very graceful in handing this issue either. I will never again to back to this place. ...read more

My mom and I went to Chole's because she had very good experiences with them in the past as far as bouquets for her offices. I wanted some pink and white orchids for my wedding which was the following week. I asked for a wristlet (versus a wedding bouquet) and recieved a bit of a scoff and was questioned for the preference, which I found unneccesary. Nonetheless, the florist said she had a great orchid she would order and would be able to provide me a wristlet and corsages for my and my fiance's family members. I wish I would have asked to see the orchids prior to commiting because they were not of very high quality for what we paid of them and some were damaged when we received them. It didn't mar my fabulous day, but in hindsight it was less than stellar quality. ...read more
I don't know if Wisconsin has an official soup, but if it did, it would be beer cheese soup. As a newbie Wisconsinite, I don't have a tried and true recipe, so browsing all the options was a bit overwhelming. I had to decide on the type of cheese, type of beer, and if I wanted to include add-ins from bratwurst to butternut squash. I settled for a combo of cheddar and swiss- cheddar for the flavor and swiss for the creaminess. For beer, I picked a local brew of course. I chose a recipe with some carrot, green onion, celery and potatoes, because let's face it, we all need to eat our veggies and it is easy to get in your daily requirement when they are swimming in cheesy goodness.
