It's decorated nicely and feels welcoming. The employee was kind and friendly. This is definitely a quilter's shop, not a fabric shop. I was looking for fabric for a non quilt project and didn't really find exactly what I wanted. If you're a quilter I think you'll love it. They have Cosmos embroidery floss which is a nice touch.

The shop, as well as the classroom, is clean, well organized and stocked with anything I've needed and the cost of products has been comparable or less than Amazon or other fabric stores. Whenever I visit Runs With Scissors or attend one of their classes, I feel welcomed and comfortable. The atmosphere has always been upbeat, healthy, and welcoming. I plan to continue to make new friends, take many more classes and shop at Runs With Scissors.

They carry art from over 60+ artists, each piece is truly unique and a conversational piece. Some of my favorites art pieces include the motorcycles made from spark plugs & spare bolts, the skateboard decks turned into wall lamps and the vampire survival kits built into old radios. The staff is always super friendly and eager to explain the history behind any of the pieces. If you're in the area, I highly recommend you check them out and find some truly unique gifts for yourself and the ones you love.

I absolutely enjoyed walking into this shop on Saturday. It was a beautiful weekends (last weekend)…read morein Auburn and the shops were busy. Out of all the shops I visited, Back Country Jewelery Rock & Mineral was by far the busiest! I can see why, although it is a tight squeeze between people going into and out of the shop, there were some beautiful stones, rocks, and jewelery to look at! They were very organized and had a big selection of special stones... I found a beautiful small Dalmation Jasper for my daughter. It's one of her favorites! It was a tiny piece for only $2! I found a small box of tumbled rocks, some shaped like hearts... like the one I always wear. I picked up an obsidian heart for my daughter bc she likes mine so much. I loved that it was made into a necklace and had the piece on it. All I need to do is get a chain for it. I also like the black hematite rings, and I found them there. There smething about how dark and plain the band is draws me towards it. I have many of them, but none of them are like the other... and somehow, I see them all differently... and although they look alike, I remember where I got each one.. The man working at the counter was so nice. His name is David. Apparently, there was a gothic event at the fair grounds and he asked me if I had attended... I can see why he would ask me that, lol. When he added up my items, he used a calculator to l to get my total. Then, he gently wrapped each item that I was buying and put it in the bag. I like that BCJRM takes mobile payments. It makes checking out bvery convenient and fast. The whole check out service was on the slower side, but I also enjoyed talking to David. It's nice to not be in a rush while you are enjoying your day. Whether you are window shopping or coming in for something specific, this store is a true gem... full of 1000's of actual gems, stones & rocks! What you call them is honestly in the eye of the beholder...
