Michaels is my go-to stop if I am working on an art project or looking for craft inspo. It's also a great place to find kids crafts and activities. They even have a selection of squishies, toy cars and more. Historically I have had a hard time finding any help on the sales floor, but this most recent visit was the opposite! I wanted to get some sharpies and they had to be unlocked from a cabinet. Someone helped me right away! I recently got a really cool piece of wall art that I am super excited about! They have a lot of great home decor surprisingly. Keep an eye out for their sales! Some of their pricing can be a bit high, but the sales make it worth it. If you are looking to start a new project, get into the holiday spirit (any holiday) or freshen up your home decor, Michaels is it!

I highly recommend signing up for their rewards program. It's free to join and I got a 50% off coupon for initially signing up. My bracelet supplies were gonna be close to $50 which is wayyy more than I was anticipating!! After using my 50% off and then a 25% off they gave me, I got it down to $38. *Whew!* Plenty of free parking here, although it gets busy because of all the restaurants and other businesses.

This is such a sweet little craft store! I initially came in looking for some fiber to spin but was…read moreinstantly taken in by all of the really luscious yarn options. The colors are beautiful and there are plenty of weights to choose from. Many of the yarns come with variegated colors, but I opted for a straightforward uniform color as I'm learning how to knit. The person behind the counter was super helpful, too. She got me set up with the right knitting needles and helped me pick out a rich, earthy orange to work with. My understanding is that the shop offers lessons for folks looking to learn as well. So it's a one-stop shop for folks who might like to pick up a new hobby and learn how to implement it all in one.

Also, it gets super hot in the summer so be sure to bring water and maybe an umbrella because shade is scarce. There is an absolutely fantastic selection of vintage clothes and purses, as well as homewares and toys. This market is a little on the smaller side when you compare it to something like the Rose Bowl Flea, but it's got the same vibe. There was still plenty of stalls to browse!

There are many ordinary things like thrifty shops. But, for someone is not American, some objects are the most interesting for the American life. I didn't ask price there.

I was very grateful to find this wonderful fabric store and the very helpful owner, Paul. He showed me a perfect upholstery fabric for my project and I was in and out in under 10 minutes today. I think this is the--or certainly ONE of the--only true fabric stores left in the SFV and CV, and I searched in from Ventura to Woodland Hills. The others all have cotton fabrics and cater only to quilters. I'm very happy I found what I needed here so that I didn't have to make a trip to L.A.

Nice customer service, it is a woman-operated small business. They sell a bit of everything: cards, fun gifts, home decor, candles (hence the nice fragrance in the air), jewelry, funky socks, cool keychains. Nicely decorated store, charming with fun merchandise. Great place to shop for friends, get a gag gift or unique items for holidays. If uninspired in your shopping, come here! The shop will give inspiration and make you smile on the way to your purchase. Street parking, closed on Mondays. I wish the store would stay open later than 3-4 pm (check their schedule), but it's a small boutique, so it's understable!
