I would like to update my review. Last time I purchased candles and saw the class looked fun…read more Finally signed up for the candle making class online for my Mr. and I. I highly recommend everyone does this experience. It's great buying the candles in store, however you get to mix up to three scents (100 to choose from on the list) and personalize your own candle. You get two glass soy candles 11 oz.. Our instructor was Claire and she was amazing throughout the whole process. She gave advice on what will pair well. This is an hr and half class. If you schedule close to closing time, you can pick up your candles the next day. Here are our scents: Mine: 091 Sandlewood 085 pumpkin Soufflé 042 Fireside My Mr.: 016 Blood orange bergamot 099 Whiskey After you signed up online, make sure you Keep your email for confirmation. Make sure you arrive 10 minutes early to check in. You are able to bring drinks in for the class. Plus you get 10 percent off in store shopping. This is definitely worth your money and you will have so much fun. Their products are high quality and scents are amazing.

The staff were all very accommodating and made our experience great. The space is very calming and welcoming as well. When you rent the back space you can bring in your own food/drink which is super great, you can really make the event your own! You need to leave your candles there overnight to set, but it is worth it - their quality is amazing. Look forward to coming back!

Both times we had a pleasant, calm & enjoyable candle pour experience. Our Nova host was very nice…read more She was knowledgeable, patient & helpful. So many beautiful scents that I didn't feel the need to mix mine, but you can. The selection of vessels was a bit limited. They range from very small to freakishly too large. Maybe they'll expand the color options & add more (normal) sizes for use in the home. Small group recommendation from my experience, but they offer private party bookings.

Jaclyn, the owner, was so helpful and friendly. She did a great job coaching us on how to mix the scents and how to pour the wax. They offer unique vessels to your pour your candle (and that will look great on a shelf after the candle is gone!). There were so many choices of scents to pick from. I went with pumpkin soufflé & campfire marshmallow. My husband and I did this as our 16 year wedding anniversary since the traditional gift is wax! Also, next door is Aglamesis Brothers ice cream so it makes for the best date night (or day date) spot!

Not overly pleased with my visit but love the shop and crafty ideas!…read more I've been scouring the internet for local DIY kits and AR's Covid friendly in-store pick up kits won the search. Slightly pricey but fair enough, I was excited to order a mini plank for Christmas. The pick up process is non-existent... I privately messaged the Facebook page to learn the process. AR could definitely upgrade this experience by including pick up instructions in the confirmation email. I was given a list of times I could pick up my order. Waited a few days and headed into the shop... nothing was prepared. I had a very small slice of time to pick up my order and unfortunately it took far too long. I would very highly recommend you call ahead to confirm to your order is in fact ready. Sadly, I was hoping for some cute gift packaging... maybe some tissue paper or literally anything besides just the wood and paints. My piece of plank wood does not sit flat and the handles were different than pictured. Overall, an extremely "meh" experience but the ladies who work there are super nice and that's important.

Awesome way to spend a Saturday!…read more A+R Workshop is a DIY workshop with various projects to choose from... Personalized signs to decorate your house, pillows, yard signs, etc. Think of all the cutest stuff at Home Goods but with your personal touch. Visit their website to pick a workshop to attend. Each workshop has a selection of projects for you to choose from. You enter your name, year, or whatever personal info they need to set up your project. When you arrive all of your supplies and your stencil is waiting for you. You spend the next couple hours working on your creation with the guidance of the owner or other employees, and at the end you have an awesome new piece of art to take home. I am not at all creative but they make it fool proof! The owner Katie and her mom were running the show the afternoon I attended my first workshop. I was nervous to mess something up, but between them and my friend who had attended a previous workshop I was able to create a personalized sign that will go perfect in my living or dining room. (It definitely helped that I was with someone who knew what they were doing. My only critique is that there were times I had to wait for direction or wasn't super clear what I was doing. If you're more patient than me and not afraid to ask questions though, it's really not an issue.) I can't wait to come back and create something for my daughter's room or gifts for my mom and sister. Everything is so cute and I want to do all the projects! I'll be back! Oh yeah, and it's BYOB. :) My friend and I split of bottle of cider as we worked. Seriously, perfect Saturday!

You'll see the white, wooden sign for Absolutely Needlepoint from the road, but the building is set…read moreback quite a distance from the road. It seems like it used to be a dentistry or medical office, in my estimation. There is plenty of parking out in front of the store. Inside, you'll find the walls covered with needlepoint canvases. Most are meant to be framed or made into pillows, but there is a section of belts. A sample beanbag frog sits on a stool, beneath more frog canvases. There are boxes and picture frames, which have a small opening to hold a completed needlepoint design. And several small designs meant to fit into those small openings. Near the cash register, there were leather key fobs. So you don't have to just make a pillow. Small projects are quick and manageable. I encouraged my MIL to try one of the smaller ones. One of the ladies who was running the store that day got my MIL all fitted out with a leather jewelry box, canvas to make a 3" diameter cricket, the floss and needles to stitch, and a mesh zipper pouch to hold her project on the road. The travel pouch was my suggestion, since I often hand piece quilts on the road, and I know how important it is to have your stuff ready to grab as you go out the door. That's the secret of getting hand work done. Bring it practically anywhere! All in all, a delightful place with everything one would need for stitching happiness. I asked if they'd mind doing mail order with my MIL, and we were told that they'd be happy to help out from a distance.

Shop is bright and clean, neat and has lots of samples, especially those which would appeal to practical folks. We loved the little jewelry cases, key chains, and wallets available to make as well as the ornaments, especially the peacock one. We were helped by the friendly staff and we were especially impressed with Sarah, who is young enough to convince the teenager that needlepoint is hip!! The staff made some great beginner suggestions and took a few minutes to get her going and now she's addicted! We really appreciated the "youth friendly" attitude even from a customer who was there working on her project. She was happy to share and encourage as well. Seems like this shop has a warm community. We will certainly return.

My boyfriend said, "I'm going to wait outside". The store is filled to the brim with beads. Beads of every size, every color, and every style. I especially liked the Swarovski crystal beads because they were extra sparkly! I think they put these beads near the window to draw people in and I guess it must have worked! The counter in the middle of the store has all of the hooks and clasps you need to make your own jewelry. They also carry a large amount of twine, wire, and any other type of string you could need. The class schedule is impressive. Lots of techniques for lots of applications. Some are solely dedicated to the Swarovski beads! The classes are offered at this location and also at the other in Tri-County. For a full class schedule visit the website.
