The shoppe owner is knowledgeable and helpful, pointing me in the direction of the products I was looking for and making a suggestion of a similar pen I hadn't yet tried. I was DELIGHTED to find a piece from a local artist that I had seen displayed at local gallery last fall for sale here, and snatched it up in a jiffy. Also really into the fact that this place has classes and events offered throughout the month - a lot of great education and creative community going on here!

I'm happy to support this local, family-owned business, not only for the aforementioned reasons but…read morealso because their employees are both knowledgeable and helpful. I tend to come in to have prints matted and/or framed. Archival materials are the norm. The staff will also mat to ready-made frame sizes or custom. Their training also makes choosing mats easier. "Do you want bright white or eggshell white?" "Let's look at them together." Additionally, they offer to amend things that I didn't notice. A print I asked to have matted and framed was slightly curved. I was assured the print would be flattened prior to being matted and framed so it would sit more snugly. I'm sure most customers would appreciate that attention to detail. Here's to hoping this establishment continues to provide goods and services to this community for a long time to come.

They sell the pencils individually so she can selectively restock the ones she runs out of most. Apparently, green is the most frequently used color for all the grass in landscapes so she can buy individual ones here very reasonably instead of buying a whole new package of pencils. They also have a nice selection of gift items like small pouches, reusable bags, socks, cards and assorted small art themed things. The selection of easels is extensive and includes table easels and standing easels. Tons of canvas, paints and paint brushes. Prices are reasonable. I found the staff a little overbearing (they greeted me multiple times) when I entered the store but were friendly at checkout. Highly recommend.

What a veritable Aladdin's Cave of goodies it is - like the Tardis, it's much bigger on the inside than it looks. One half of the store is devoted to artist supplies - indeed, they boast of being the largest artists' supply store in Vermont. The other half is dedicated to cards, toys, bags, scarves, gifts, farden ornaments, pet things and other handy little gadgets that you didn't know you needed in your life until you saw them here. Honestly, we spend at least half an hour in here just looking around. You will be amazed at the variety of stuff they sell. Upstairs is a small but select gallery of artworks for sale, although I confess that I didn't make it past the stair landing as I got distracted by something else that I glimpsed downstairs. The owners were very chatty and friendly, especially when they found out that we were Scottish. They told us about a relative they had lost in the Lockerbie disaster, asking us if we knew the area. A poignant connection. We both emerged with lots of small gifts that will no doubt be disseminated next Christmas. Had it been earlier in our trip we'd probably have bought more stuff, but as we were heading homewards we were limited to how much more we could squeeze into our bags!

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.
