By gem, I hope I'm not giving an impression that it is small. It's spacious and has a great selection of well-curated craft supplies (quality brands) and other fun items.

A couple of u-turns and I made it back to the driveway. This potter is living my dream, his home is right there, studio separate and I was wowed just parking! Tons of pottery yard art and the outside wall of his studio was lined with various pottery for sale. Inside there was another small space of retail packed with breathtaking art and his studio where he was working on various pieces. He had a work table with easily 50 hand built bud vases he was working on! On other shelves I could see wheel thrown steins. I was giddy admiring his work, he makes his own glazes and fires high temperatures and does some specialty firing too (I speak pottery because I am a student currently). I especially loved his crystalline glazed work- absolutely stunning pieces! And he had these clever monster mugs I seriously considered picking one- they were so unique and I adored them! I left with one stunning crystalline glazed mug and one beautiful teapot for under $100- and that's wonderful prices! Literally functional art. He was lovely to chat with too. Can't recommend enough if you love art and/or pottery to seek out this little studio! It is a great local gem!!!

Fantastic art store. The prices are excellent, the selection includes high quality art supplies,…read moreand the staff are helpful. I was pleased with the quality and price of the one framing project we had done. This is a go to store for the art enthused of the area. Affordable paint (from Tempura to high quality oil paint tubes), brushes, stamp making, pencils, charcoal, and everything you would expect from an art store.

This has got to be one of the most unfriendly frame shops I have ever been to. I asked for 8 little…read morev nails but was told they are being discontinued and so no, they wouldn't give me any. i would have happily bought them and I also happen to have six projects needing glazing, fitting, matting. The framer associate said she disn't want to set her business up for failure. By providing a customer with 8 little nails? And that was worth losing what could have led to hundreds of dollars in sales of framing? I didn't even let it get that far so they don't realize the loss in sales. If thre is a manager reading this you might be more concerned because this is no way to operate a business. This is not the first time I have been treated so poorly at Gene's Art and Frame..

I stopped in to The Book Rack today and decided to have a light snack at the Cafe inside…read more I chose the Mushroom and Olive flatbread and Autumn Heat tea. The flatbread was nice and crispy with a good flavor for something pre-made and just needed to be heated. But the highlight of my visit was the Autumn Heat tea. The "Heat" refers to the spice level (one of the ingredients is Hot Honey), you can choose for it to be served hot or cold. I chose to have it served hot. I really enjoy spicy food and drinks. This tea was very spicy! If you enjoy spicy foods you should give this one a try. Otherwise, I recommend you pass on this one! As normal, the staff are very friendly, knowledgeable about what they sell, and polite. Always a pleasure to shop at The Book Rack.

Then recently the "man " of the couple returned to smoke again on the property and start a fire. Our neighbors just below this load have told us that this guy was selling the fireworks that have made our street a war zone during the Fourth of July. It's been miserable here since this has proliferated!! This completely destroyed their recent home and the one next door displacing an 85 year old renter that doesn't know where she will go next. It also significantly destroyed the neighboring home on the other side of a valued community member that runs a non profit food pantry that has had to recently move operations to her home after at Mother's Day flood at the storefront in Langley. She is now being harassed by the owner with the smoking problem including a second fire set next to her fence gate. Read the news. Judge for yourself. This business in my opinion should not get any love or support in our community as they are more of a problem than a positive attribute! It's just an outsider with no concern except profit while living here.
