Even following Yelp's directions, they ultimately lead to you to a parking lot where the building beside it looks abandoned. We almost gave up and as we were walking up the street, the wiggling inflatable man caught my eye, and I realized that's actually the art store. This was a fun store to browse. They have a lot of supplies for all your artistic needs, and at pretty reasonable prices. I was looking for pottery supplies on this visit and found a few. They only carry speedball glaze, not sure why but it would be nice to see them carry brands like Laguna or Amaco. Perhaps they don't have enough people buying glazes to justify supplying a large array? Regardless, I ended up buying one, especially since it was a few dollars cheaper than online. It felt good to support a local art store in this way. They had a great sale going on, especially with regards to paint brushes. I didn't buy any as pottery glaze tends to be harsh on bristles so I always get whatever is cheap but if you're looking for oil, acrylic, watercolor supplies this place would be great for that. The people working here were stellar! Very friendly, and easy to talk to. Would be a regular if I lived here.

It's a compact "store" tucked in a solid industrial building in Holyoke, Massachusetts and shares space with a commercial printer. If you need a teeny tiny part for a vintage press you already own or looking for a complete tabletop press if you want to get started with a new hobby, you'll find it here. Oh, you need a tool, ink, paper? Maybe a complete set of foundry type of a long-forgotten font style (yes, sometimes there's wood type available too!) or advice on how to do something letterpress? Get here pronto. Run by John Barrett, who is himself a treasure of information and lore, it's always an adventure when you stop by for a visit. Chances you will go home with something special that you didn't know you needed or wanted. The store can be open by chance or by appointment (if you are the kind who plans ahead), so be sure to check the Letterpress Things website for dates and hours when the store 'officially' will be open for business. There's limited parking on the street but on the weekends there shouldn't be any problem finding a space.

Not only are their melts long lasting, they create some of the best scent combinations of any company I have found. Their dedication to creating quality products and excellent customer service has made me a life long customer and fan. I love their melts, candles, lotions and car diffusers to the point I almost exclusively gift from their shop for holidays. When creating their store they have been incredibly intentional in curating a space that not only will showcase their growing range of products but has also given opportunity to other small, local businesses to sell their products. This commitment to their new community and giving space to help others succeed is incredibly admirable. Definitely worth a drive to see them - smell their products in person - and I promise you will fall in love with Cottage Melts too!

Wonderful assortment of items at a variety of price points. Beautiful space with friendly people.read more
