As someone who hates to move, I have to congratulate the owner on getting everything together so fast! I think this is the space that used to be "The Tub Shop" and this may be the only store on that block of Market St. that I haven't been inside. If you're looking for something crafty with a Portsmouth theme, the selection here is really good. Of course there's a lot more than that inside, and you should check it out for yourself.

It's the holiday season which means that it is time to get my craft on. I was smart this year and…read moreordered things in mid season (June - July) so that I had all my ducks in a row for crafting. I can't say what one of the gifts are in case one of my friends is reading, however, I needed a specific size of keep sake bottles to make "message in a bottles." I need something that was thin and exactly 5" tall. I looked all over on-line and been to every store and I finally found this web store. I had issues ordering on-line, however, called their number and the customer service was amazing. They couldn't ship a small amount to Canada, therefore, got some other things for future crafting needs.

Oh, there's also a small sales section tucked in the corner of the room! I had one H E C K of a good time browsing the stationery + prints sections where I picked out a peach gel pen, an adorable animal sticker sheet, and a fun pug print (which came with an envelope!). I'd highly recommend checking this store out for all things artsy, neat, whimsical, and fun.

But it's a nice way to spend a half hour, and you can see a gundalow (big wooden rivership) getting built just down the green. Also, they charge $10 for parking in the lot. Don't pay it, since there is abundant enough street parking that you shouldn't feel like you need to get extorted like that.

The place is large and there is a great selection of bisque ware to paint. The prices are a flat rate and you do not have to pay for paint or the time that you spend there.

The new employees were constantly hovering and checking in on me while I was trying to focus, which felt unnecessary and stressful. They were also extremely pushy around closing time and kept reminding me starting about 30 minutes before even though I was already aware and planning to finish on time, which I did. Overall it did not feel like the same relaxed, enjoyable space I had experienced before.
