The second reason? Why Courtney of course. She has done an amazing job of displaying her gorgeous textiles and worldly goods from jewelry, robes, bedding, books and more.

Once you select your pics, all you do is write down your information and how many books you took home with you--that's it!

Last summer I went out on a limb and tried needlepoint for the first time. So glad that I did…read more Howdy Honey is what makes me want to continue with that newish hobby. So much support in all the options whether it be something as picking up colors for an existing project or having a massive selection of new ideas to do in the future. The team gets to know their customers and welcome you in each time. They even let me know when a canvas I was daydreaming of arrived. I love that they also are open during non banking hours which is a big deal when you want to do something in your free time but can't make it somewhere during the normal work day. While the price may be a bit scary at first for some projects, the ability to finish a project is well worth the finished project. They also offer classes for beginners on realistic projects. Take a chance and go check it out.

That was OK, as Gayle and I saw a nice selection of his work at the Guggenheim in Bilbao Spain last October. Or as the person working the bookstore desk mentioned, Richard Serra is having his moment. The Menil Collection Bookstore also stocks some Rothko Chapel stuff, but surprisingly nothing regarding the Byzantine Fresco Chapel, considering that fabulous art's imminent return to Cyprus. At the same time, this place is a fun and educational browse and within its eclectic offerings, there is artistic treasure to be found.

It smells so good in here…read more Nothing but new books, with a focus on recently published fiction. They are trying to have a somewhat good selection of nonfiction... (But just one shelf of classics was sad. ) Lots of little gift things (see photos). It's nice they have a bench big enough for two or three tired tag-along friends or husbands.

Sure it's smaller than a big place like Houston Garden Center, BUT they make up for that in so many…read moreways. First off, super nice staff that is actually knowledgeable in what they sell! I went here for the 1st time about 2 weeks ago just looking, with one specific thing in mind I wanted to buy but expectations low (I'll get into that later). I did end up getting a small basil plant, and then a bigger tomato plant. Spent less then $7 and both plants are still doing good. They sell a huge variety of items, and definitely a spot to get more rare items. So initially I came across this place by googling what places might have butterfly pea and people mentioned getting it here here. Mind you though the posts I saw on fb were over 7 months old so I figured depending on season I might be out of luck, and so I went with low hopes the first time I went and they had none. (Wonderful selection just not what I was looking for, plus I had people waiting in the car for me so I didnt really get to look more in depth into all the plants.) I did ask though as I was checking out if they would be getting some anytime soon (I really didnt want to try growing some myself from seedlings) and the lady said they should in a few weeks and even gave me a card in the case I wanted to call ahead to see if they had any. Well she wasn't lying cause I went back today and they had the plant I wanted in stock! It was an impromptu kind of trip so I didnt bother to call ahead, so I was pleasantly surprised to see it as I walked in. Also walked out with a "dragons breath" and my parter walked out with a "mexican bird of paradise" and a "boxwood basil" which we had yet to see and the few other nursery/garden stores we had been to. We'll be back every now and then to see what other unique plants we can get. 2 pics show the bigger plants we got that we repotted as soon as we got home

I'm shocked that we never heard about this place before. It made for a really good date night. We checked out the main attraction that we saw on Instagram but we also check out all of the other galleries as well. At least the ones that were open. The artist at the galleries were very friendly, and willing to tell us about their set up and everything they do. I had no idea this place has been here since the 1960s. We will definitely come back here in the future to check out more exhibits. I'm shocked and it's only $700 a month to rent a space. That's a really good deal. However, there's a five year waiting list which is quite long. So good luck with that.
