Look no further - this little store, off of the mall food court, is *exactly* where you need to come! The selection is slender, but what they have are *amazing*. Completely ridiculous hats (and I say this with absolute love, amazement and awe) at fairly reasonable prices. If you can't find a hat to wear to The Wedding or to the Gold Cup here...it's only probably because I beat you to it and just bought out their entire selection. Awesome awesome store...I just wish there was a wider selection for me to choose from...

I signed up for a two hour private in-person spinning lesson to learn how to use my wheel. On the website it explicitly says "Topics with spindles OR spinning wheels can be tackled in private lessons. Beginning spinning lessons on a spindle OR wheel should be booked for a 2 hour duration" They don't allow you to leave a comment on the website (you "buy" the lessons as if they were an object) and each person teaches multiple things. I booked two hours and thought they would follow up to see what I was hoping to learn. They did not so a few days later I called to tell them my goal for the two hours - a beginner lesson for spinning on my new wheel. They seem surprised I had even blocked the times which was a little red flag I wish I hadn't ignored. I was asked if I had a drop spindle. I said I did but I wasn't interested in using it. I was told that I have to learn the drop spindle first and they would have one for me to use if they didn't like mine and to bring my wheel. We spent the whole time on the drop spindle which I had no interest in and didn't find it very enjoyable. The staff member said I seemed "tired" and was "making mistakes" and cut the lesson short. They refunded me the money for the time (about 40 minutes) we didn't use which basically covered the cost of the drop spindle they had me buy. I thought we'd use the spindle to get some visuals and then move on but we did not. Why couldn't we have spent the last 40 minutes on my wheel? It was clear she wanted me to leave when she decided we were done with the drop spindle. I asked about paying for more time another day and getting on the wheel I was told "you could always do that if you want" but it didn't seem like that would be welcome. She tightened up something on my wheel and briefly spun on my wheel herself for about a minute without instruction and then I left. I got a few good tips (one was where to get a sandwich-Caffe Di Roma--which really was good), they sold me some better fiber to spin than what I already had but I still don't know how to drop spindle well or use my wheel at all. I wouldn't say they were rude exactly but they weren't very friendly and I felt like I was being condescended to a lot during the lesson. I tried to be cheerful and pleasant but the overall vibe was dismissive and again, I never got to do what I actually signed up to do. The whole vibe was weird. The instructor and another woman (the owner? manager?) talked over me and around me quite a bit about my wheel and other things rather than actually asking me a question or listening. There was some lint on my wheel and they really fixated on it, thinking it was bugs(?) instead of listening to me when I said it was from a cloth I was sent to use when I assembled and finished it myself. Then they were argumentative and said the spinning wheel's brand's wax didn't come with a cloth. Okay, maybe it doesn't but I didn't buy the brand's overpriced wax and never said I did. It felt like they were trying for a "gotcha" moment like middle school girls do. I know what I used! They just didn't pay much attention to anything I said. I felt like I was an unwanted guest at someone's house, not someone paying for a lesson at a store. That said, there are few options even remotely locally so I took a chance. I regret it. You don't have to learn the drop spindle before learning on the wheel--it is very odd Cloverhill was so insistent I needed to when their own website says this isn't the case. Other places do not operate this way. I wish I had saved the money and took a real spinning wheel class anywhere else even if it meant driving 90 minutes to Philadelphia or Red Stone Glen. Just a FYI to save yourself some other disappointment, I see this store on "Black woman owned" yarn store lists occasionally and maybe it was at some point and their choice of logo on their house brand yarn (Tempting Ewe) might give that impression but that does not seem to be accurate or even reflective of any diversity of the staff. If you are in bind and near Catonsville for some reason, the store does have a lot of yarn and fiber as well as other fiber arts equipment that is difficult to find in person in the Baltimore metro. I would think that would be the main draw of this shop.

Cute little addition to OEC! This is a little storefront where you can take Korean style photobooth…read morepictures, and I believe they offer passport pictures too. Up front, there's a fridge stocked with cold beverages and a cotton candy vending machine. Also a bowl of green Korean candies! Then, there's some wares/gifts you can buy such as crocheted and leather items. While we were waiting to use the photobooth, the owner struck up conversation with us. He was very friendly and sweet, and wanted feedback on what we thought of the place. There's tons of cute and fun props you can use, from headbands to hats to glasses. They have a big mirror to take selfies in and also a small one to try on props. The photobooth is in its own room at the back of the store behind a curtain. There's a ledge in the back where you can set down your stuff. There's multiple options of prints to choose from, we opted to get the classic 4 frames because it comes with 2 print outs. I think most, if not all of the options are $6 for a print. Once we were ready, the owner helped us pay (I think the payment processing on the machine wasn't working at the time). I used Apple Pay, so I'm not sure if they take cash too. The photobooth counts down before taking a picture, and there's an option to do a retake, but I'm not sure if there's a limit. I like that you can retake the picture but I think it'd be nice to also have multiple options to choose from at the end. After you pictures are taken, you can choose the background design for your photo print and decorate it with stickers before printing. I haven't used a photobooth that lets you add stickers until now so I thought that was really cool. While it's printing, you can scan the QR code and you can download a version of the print on your phone. It also shows you a GIF/live version of your photos. I love this addition to OEC-- such a cute pit stop for a date or a day out with friends.

However, this time we had a terrible experience. The arrangement was just OK. It was not nearly as creative and didn't exhibit the obvious care in choosing the plants when compared to the first.

Didn't you notice we put it in a pot that didn't drain? What? Why would you make an arrangement and not put it in an appropriate container? The staff would not accept responsibility for their obvious error, offer any accommodation nor an apology. In our opinion this is NOT a way to treat customers nor stand behind what they sell. We will no longer recommend this establishment to others nor purchase anything in the future.
