I have been putting off writing this review for some time... trying to give this business a second,…read morethird, and even fourth chance. Unfortunately, all these chances aren't making any difference. I honestly try to put myself in others' shoes and am often described as being very empathetic. Also, I generally try to support our small community here in Sonora by shopping locally and getting to know the small business owners. Most of them are very nice people and I love to frequent their shops because of it. The first owner, Gina, was quite pleasant, very welcoming, and tried to be helpful where she was knowledgeable. She recently sold the business to Beth Smith and I have had nothing but bad experiences with her. She is not helpful and not very welcoming. She is also incredibly unprofessional -- talking bad about other local businesses and not returning telephone calls. I am an avid crafter and will often spend a lot of money on my crafting supplies. However, I will not be giving Beth anymore of my money.

I'm so pleased with this jacket and the process with Stitches in Motion. We should've started JV…read moreyear, but even though we started late and during busy season, we still got the finished jacket in about two months. Pattie has many samples to help make decisions and a lot of expertise and experience that helps you make a decision. Pattie also has a great attention to detail and double checks to make sure everything is just the way you want it. We had a great experience. This is definitely the place to go for a letter jacket or custom embroidery.

The quality of the towels themselves was amazing. I was even able to locate one after it wandered off to a friend's house since it had my initials on it! I love the idea of custom embroidery for baby blankets and other gifts. I will definitely keep Stitches in Motion in mind for my next group event or baby shower.

Kim is so fun am Nd makes her paint parties fun. I have…read morebeen to four of her paint parties and have enjoyed all,of them and yes I actually have my pictures hanging on the wall. Me and my sister Angel drive 3 hours to meet our friend CELESTE to attend these parties. All the supplies needed are supplied and the instructions are simple and easy to do. I like that each persons picture turns out different yet the same. Thank you Kim.

Kym is the best!…read more She's full of love, positivity, and overflowing with creativity. I encountered Kym's Fun Fine Art booth at the Bigfoot Festival in Twain Harte this weekend. Her enthusiasm for tye dye, art, hula-hooping and people is evident and also contagious. Her booth was fantastic. It allowed for hands-on collaborative art (tye-dye and drip art) and it was set-up perfectly so that both kids and adults could do crafts with no mess (she had everything covered - literally and figuratively). Kym's masterful tye dye creations can be found not only at her booth at the regular Thursday Twain Harte Farmers' Market - but they can also be found at a number of stores in Jamestown. Kym is an excellent teacher and if you have an event that you're looking to enhance with some live art making - I highly suggest you reach out to her. Her booth was always full of genuine smiles and excitement throughout the festival and it was so fun to see people so engaged with art throughout this past weekend's festivities. You can learn more about her art and where you can both her and her colorful tye-dye here - https://www.facebook.com/FunFineArtist/ Trust.

Just wanted to tell everyone what HORRIBLE service I received there today! I will NEVER go back to…read morethis pharmacy again! EVER! They were RUDE and demeaning! I have never been treated so horrible in all my life! I pick up my certain medication EVERY SINGLE MONTH, and this time they were trying to tell me my Rx had expired, and that I had not picked it up since Dec! I have picked it up every single month!It is now MAY! To make it all worse the rude old lady (pharmacist I think) has the audacity to "inform" me that I was at Bertelli's...."You know you're at Bertelli's, right?" Yes, you moron, I know where I am. Maybe you need to retire or get your glasses checked!

Mountain Bookshop is a cute little bookstore in Tuolumne. My friend and I stopped in today while…read moreshopping in the area and I'm so glad we did. The inside was pretty big with adult books in the middle, children's book on one side and crafts on the other - such as yarn, ribbons and even greeting cards. They also sold lotions, soaps and lots of book accessories. Staff kept to themselves and didn't really ask if we needed assistance finding books which I thought was odd, but they weren't necessarily unfriendly either. The few books I looked at, seemed to sell for face value and nothing was marked up or down. Overall, I thought it was a nice store and would stop in for another visit the next time I'm in town. Check them out!

Bear's Garden is a great florist, they always provide fresh flowers and on time delivery. I have…read moreused them for both personal and work orders and have never been disappointed. I have purchased products from Birthday flowers to Funeral Sprays and everything was beautiful. The staff is great and always give us a call if something is out of stock before they substitute for a different flower or ask if we have preferences. Flowers are expensive anywhere you order from however the value is well worth the price point for their arrangements. The flowers are always fresh, arrive cold and in water and promptly - the driver who does the deliveries also always gives instructions on how to care for the arrangement. I would highly recommended ordering from them via phone or on their website for your floral needs.
