She is honest about her suggestions and listens to what I am looking for. She is in no way trying to just "sell". They have a very good selection of outfits and jewelry.

A local company that works on their home. We met the husband at the Crystal Lake market. He was…read morevery nice and we tried some of their honey. It was excellent. I highly recommend these people. They have great product and a wide select of bee "products". We bought at the market fair the springtime, honey. We went through a jar in almost about 2 to 3 weeks. It was that good! So when I bought again, I bought the huge jar (5 lb) their honey, which is a darker hue, and a one pound jar. We went through the 1 pound very easy. But we're about halfway done with the 5 pound. So probably this spring? (Reorder?) It's a great "local honey". And we like supporting local businesses. Keep up the great work! Go to their website it's very easy to order. And then you just go to the house, and pick up your order on the front doorstep. They even give you a really nice yellowish B company heavy duty bag. Excellent touch! Keep up the great work!

Norden Crafts is a wholesale supplier of needlework supplies and they were the first one I did…read morebusiness with. So first, I'm just happy they gave me an account. Some suppliers didn't even bother to respond to my application. Ordering can be done online though sometimes the site is slow and the set up is a bit glitchy. I also had an issue when setting up my account but customer service is super quick to respond. Shipments also come fast with many orders being sent the same day and taking two days to arrive. Overall, I'm super happy with them. Here's my last two things I would like to see improved: I mainly buy DMC floss and this was the reason I needed an account. I find that many items are on backorder if I order more than 1 or two boxes of floss (if I order 5, maybe 3 will actually show up). It seems like a pretty low amount of stock to keep on hand. And second, which goes for all needlework suppliers really, why is it so hard to buy Aida cloth in bolts? Because I would love to and have to go to a completely random site to buy them.

Love that this spot stayed a stationery shop! I really liked how quaint and cozy the exterior looks…read moreso happy it's still a place I can visit for my paper and pen fix. I visited during stationery store day and I am happy I went here. They had tons of the popular and trendy stationery items and also some things for booktok fans. Definitely had Fourth Wing stuff too. I really enjoyed seeing Chicago themed items. I got some Hot Dang Press iron-on transfers. I can wait to add them to my traveler's journal. They also have this super cute trinket making station. you get a bigger than a regular alltoid tin and put whatever kind of trinkets and set it up however you want. Very customizable and the first I've seen of it! Definitely worth the visit. The owner was so nice!

You'll find some cards (there were some pretty funny ones here), notepads and paper, pens, and so on. They had a cool watercolor book by a creator who has a QR code for a free art class on the back, which I almost bought but taking up a painting hobby is just not something I have time to pursue right now. In addition to the paper goods, they have some textile stuff too. Wallets, sunglasses sleeves, tablet holders, cord keepers; you'll find that and more here. In addition to a few there things I bought a few of the cord keepers because finding loose cords around like snakes laying everywhere is annoying. The employee (proprietor?) was friendly. She was sitting at the front of the store at a typewriter when we came in, maybe composing her novel? A blast from the past for sure but old typewriters are works of art.
