She engaged in a thoughtful conversation with me and gave great tips for an out-of-towner. I 100% recommend this shop for anyone looking to support local artisans. *If you love stickers like I do, this is the shop for you!!

Located on 6th street, this shop is your one stop shop for all things Idaho, handmade and incredibly special. You can find blown glass, textiles, soaps, lotions, chocolate, peanuts, ornaments, shave oils, cutting boards, games, mugs, vases, ornaments and so much more. Most of my favorite makers were there (think Ladybug Press, Sawtooth Glass Project, City Peanut Shop, All Spun Up, Sage Woolens, etc.) It felt like a holiday craft bazaar that is open year round and housing the very best products. I found the selection to be varied and affordable. You could find things for men, women, children, pets and even yourself! It bears repeating that you are paying for handcrafted, small-business wares. It is not going to have the same price tag as a manufactured good from a big box store. It will be a higher price tag. I like to think that I'm paying for a story. My purchased items contain all the love, hope, and hard work that each maker poured into their product. I love to give handmade stuff for gifts and I think they are appreciated a lot more than something I could ship from Amazon. The shop keepers were lovely. I think they are some of the makers, but it was so very busy when I went in that I didn't want to bog them down with conversation. If you are looking for special presents, this is the place to go. Enjoy all the treasures.

They have jewelry, baby items, cards that were hilarious and love the personal touch he's and how real the cards are. They have some cool stuff for Men if you wanna gift something. Their jewelry selection is very minimalistic and simple yet elegant from different vendors. We ended up getting the cutest Toy for our dog that's a shape of Idaho holding a cute little potato and a few stickers for our truck. You need to check this store out in Downtown area if you are looking to pick up some gifts for friends or family the quality of the items is def great and not cheap. When we checked out the girls up front were very friendly and helpful.

You can not not come out of this store empty handed. There are just too many goodies here. We came here after brunch today. Coming up to the store, they had a couple racks of beautiful succulents on display. I would have loved to purchase all of them but as simple it is to keeping succulents alive, I have a special talent for killing them. Walking into the store, you are immediately overwhelmed with all the little things everywhere! You don't even know where to being to look at but eventually you'll either go left or right. We made our way through this fun store. Mixed Greens is a big novelty store for adults! The store is filled with everything you can think of. I loved looking at nick nacks. Everything was just so prettily placed and delicately staged. From cooking utensils to hand held fishing grips to gemstones, it was hard not to touch everything. You can literally spend hours in this store and still miss something. We snagged a couple things for my mother in law for mother's day. It's nice knowing that her gifts didn't come from your everyday store. If you're looking for a unique gift or a treat for yourself, Mixed Greens is your go to joint to hit up. There's something for everyone in this store and it's great.

    I found Cats Eye Craft Thrift through a quick Google search and was excited to make the 30+ minute…read moredrive to support a small, local business. I especially had high hopes for their junk journaling and sticker sections. Unfortunately, I left a bit disappointed. The selection was pretty limited on everything but especially the stickers / planning/ stencil area , and the pricing felt more in line with boutique resale than a thrift shop. For example, a small Happy Planner sticker book was priced at $7.99 something I've gotten at Savers for $5 or less and we all know how astronomical savers pricing is lol . The other sticker and journaling items were $5-$12, which felt a bit steep for secondhand supplies. I totally understand small businesses need to cover costs and make a profit, and I really respect that but I was hoping for more variety and more "thrift-style" pricing. I'd still love to come back and check out other sections of the store, and hopefully they'll consider revisiting some of the pricing in the future to make it a more budget-friendly stop for crafters like me.

I only heard of Cats Eye within the last two or three days. I thought my friends were hiding this gem from me. Nope. The brick & mortar store is THAT new! (I won't hide this gem from them.) I saw so many crafty goodies: ink pads, rubber stamps, markers, pencils, paints, brushes, yarn, hooks, patterns, raw wool, stickers, cardstock, storage, beads, wire, buttons, jewelry findings, and even office supplies. I arrived after 5pm, and I asked Shay to please kick me out at when she closes 6pm, so I don't keep her here that late. (I think I was a little late anyway.) I'll have to go back ASAP to finish up my 1st round of shopping. The other thing I noticed was that there's a classroom at the back of the space. I bet there will be some really fun opportunities to learn techniques and new crafts. There is a cool scheduling tool on their website for when you want to donate some of your unused artistic or crafty supplies. Items inside are inexpensive and in great condition. I'm excited to play with my new goodies tomorrow and share this review with my friends.
