We went out on this sunny and warm October day, glad to enjoy some time outdoors in the sun. We were greeted, as well, with an enjoyable stroll through local venue booths sporting everything from beeswax products to locally mixed spices to jewelry made from local stones (think petrified wood and Marble's marble, among many others). I was drawn to the designs at a T-shirt shop, and when I couldn't find my size in the design I wanted, they assured me that I could email them and they would make it for me and send it along to my home. The jewelry maker at Waystone (mywaystone.com) promised that if I could bring her a piece of petrified wood that I had discovered in my backyard, she would make it into something special to display in my home. While she accepts items through mail, since she is just down I-70 just east of Denver, I mean to bring it right to her. I was excited to visit this arts fair, and came away with some nice items, along with the cards of some artisans to whom I will reach out for some custom items. What a great way to spend a glorious fall day outside!

Y'all!!! This was such a fun event! I had never been to an Upstairs Circus and when I was planning…read morean intern and internal alumni event this location popped up at the top of my search. And I am so glad it did. It was easy to request event info online and the event team was super responsive. Originally my event was for 20 people but we ended up having about 30 show up. But since we had the location to ourselves on a Monday, that number was fine. Kayla and Whitney were so great, they made sure everyone had everything they needed and kept the drinks flowing. I highly recommend partnering with Upstairs Circus for team building events team events friend events or just a fun time doing something creative. The diy projects vary in difficulty and mostly, it's something that you make and take with you. I made a gold tassel necklace and it wasn't easy but it's something that I'll have the rest of my life that I made at this event with this memory. Thank you Upstairs Circus for this experience!! Looking forward to doing it again.

This place was a dream!! Now, I'm an experienced crafter myself, while my girlfriend is not so much, but I'm happy to say both of us were able to enjoy it. The options are a wide variety including activities for all skill levels, and the instructions are very straightforward. The bar menu was also plentiful, with a variety of signature cocktails, some limited wine selections, and even some holiday-inspired shots! I also felt like the staff all took great care of us, making sure we had a memorable experience.

It's rare to find a business these days with a massive selection of the brands and models that are available. It's rare to find a business these days where the salespeople are available, friendly, and knowledgeable. Surprise! Rocky Mountain Sewing offers all of these perks. My friend needed a sewing machine. She had only used mechanical systems in the past and, although an experienced seamstress, was unfamiliar with recent changes in technology and the latest computerized products. We had the great pleasure of being greeted by Miles when we walked into this amazing store. We explained our requirements and he immediately understood what was needed and began to show us appropriate options from Pfaff, Husqvarna, and Bernina. Miles was able to explain without hesitation the fine details of all of the products we considered and could helpfully relate many issues to his own sewing experience. We quickly narrowed things down to a computerized Husqvarna model, available at a very reasonable price. Who knew that Husqvarna dated back to 1689 and went from producing muskets to sewing machines in 1872. I always thought of them as a power equipment manufacturer, but that's a separate company these days. This is a huge store. The selection of brands and models to choose from is awesome. There's a good selection of threads and accessories plus some fabrics. There's even a vacuum section. Miles guided us seamlessly and was a great help. We would have been lost without his expertise. We had a great visit with no pressure. Miles wrote up a quote for the systems and accessories of interest. My friend thought it over and purchased the Husqvarna the next day.
