Prices were a bit high, which made shopping a little more difficult to feel like you were getting a deal. Souvenirs are supposed to be made affordable . Lower prices ces bigger turn over just saying . Live the entire experience. I give it 5. A+

I would like to try a class or two in the future! For the store itself: I was greeted right away and the sales associate (forgive me, I do not remember her name at the moment) made herself available for questions. Think of this store like a mini-locally-owned Hobby Lobby or Michael's (knick-knacks, seasonal decor, decor accents for the kitchen, living room, den, yard, etc.). Everything was organized, displays were easy to maneuver around (explored this store while wearing my napping 10-month old so ease of being able to move in a store while babywearing is a priority!) So yes I am impressed and will return again. If you need a gift or a craft I would recommend this place, especially if the larger craft stores are intimidating, your first time in a craft store and don't want to be overwhelmed, or are just curious--like I was). Looking forward to getting to know this store and tapping into some kreativity soon!

Such a great deal for the experience and a blast. I will definitely be coming back here. My Girlfriend made a heart shaped candle and I made a diamond one. You can add as many scents as you want and they have 15 + colors to choose from. I Love this Place!!!

My friend has a cabin in Big Bear so when we went up last month, we found this gem of a place while…read morewalking around! It's a small store with an area for custom candle making where the owner, Chrystel, will walk you through the process of selecting scents and colors for your candle. Us girls were completely drawn to the premade soaps which resemble slices of colorful bread. They smelled HEAVENLY and there were a few diff scents on the shelves. Soaps were $5 each and at first I was a bit hesitant, but Chrystel told us that everything is hand-made with natural & extremely hydrating ingredients (ex. shea butter, etc... *I can't remember all the ones she listed as its been so long so I'll have to give an update next time*)!! Honestly, the soaps smell so nice that I ended up rationing my treasured soap slice. Luckily, my friend went up last week and picked me up another one!! From what my friend told me, the owner is super flexible and if we call in before we head up, she'll custom make lotions and things for you! Would make for cute customizable gifts as well!

Melissa executed a complicated succulent workshop for our company this month and it went so well…read more She was patient, responsible and responsive. The workshop was well received by all my colleagues (~50 people). In addition, Melissa executed this workshop among a few different locations, making the effort to get our other offices all the materials in advance. I would highly recommend Melissa in any corporate event. Melissa and I had a few calls and traded a number of emails about this event. While she was responsive to my questions, she was also able to run with the event without much guidance. The day of the event, Melissa arrived on time (early) to set up, taking care to protect the tables with disposable tablecloths. She set out all the materials (including decorative rocks and pretty colored moss) and guided participants through the workshop. She was happy to answer any questions. Afterwards, she cleaned up quickly and thoroughly. My colleagues thought the event was relaxing; it was a nice team building and we created something pretty for our office. It can be stressful working with Type A people (me) and in company events, and I was blown away by Melissa's dedication. We would be happy to work with Melissa again.

I would not recommend this place. The people who work there are actually volunteers, and the board…read moreof directors leading them are mean and vicious. I entered art in the art show a few times. And I painted murals inside the shop. My artwork was carelessly dropped on the floor and broken (frame) and I was not treated nicely at all when I wanted them to pay for the repairs. The women who run the shop are rude and scary. I was renting a space there but I was viciously kicked out for no good reason. The only thing that I am truly upset about is this: I hand painted a large mural in the shop and I was kicked out so fast and so viciously that I did not have a chance to paint over it. And the president of the place managed to either somehow scrub off or paint over my signature. Of my art. There are a few nice people there. But mostly bad vibes. SHE REMOVED MY SIGNATURE FROM MY ART. Oh! AND! During an art show opening event, they put yellow caution tape across my booth and my friend's booth to prevent us from making any sales. And they tell customers they are doing construction. Not true.
