Being from San Diego, we definitely DO NOT have a stationery store like this. I walked all around to make sure I saw everything before I started to decide what to get. Cards, art supplies, water colors, pens, midori, black wing, etc! I wanted it all. But at the end, decision paralysis set in and I only got a few things that I've never seen before...pink lead! Yes, that's right!! PINK LEAD. Also got some lavender and red leads. Of course I got the mechanical pencil and eraser as well. This is a must! Turlock was about 25 minutes drive from where I was staying. Will absolutely come back when I'm close.

Everything went well. My daughter has an Art class and she needed some supplies…read more The teacher recommended to go to Allard's to buy them. She had a list but when we got there we were lost. We didn't know where to start. So, we asked for help. The young worker was so nice and very helpful. We gave her the list and in no time we had everything we needed. We would've been there just looking and looking for the things all lost. But thankfully we were in and out. The prices are reasonable, they were some items on special and we had some savings. The cashier also was very nice. She offered the rewords program and we signed up. So we can get savings. They have a big variety of art supplies. Anything you need from sketching and paint definitely you can find them there. Very great experience.

Such a darling store in Murphys…read more If you're looking to stock up on coloring books, yarn supplies, and fun craft supplies - serendipity is a fantastic place to start. This store is well lit and well laid out for easy browsing. They also host some fun art classes like painting, beading, ceramics, wood working, sewing, and fiber art. My favorite aspect of this art haven is their downstairs area - which houses handmade crafts and art from local artists. They have everything from stunning turquoise jewelry, homemade soaps, wood carvings, cards, and much more - and at a variety of different price points. Serendipity is a magical way to explore your own artistic side - and support local makers. If you're in the area - I highly recommend saving some time to check it out and get crafty :) Trust.

Feels Like Home in Historic Mariposa!…read more Wow! Walking into Mariposa Marketplace right now, I'm instantly wrapped in that cozy Gold Rush charm--the historic John Trabucco building from the late 1800s greets me with its high ceilings, warm wooden floors, and sunlight streaming through the windows. The atmosphere is so welcoming and relaxed, like stepping into a time capsule where I can just slow down, breathe in the old-town air, and browse without a care. The antiques here are pure magic: everywhere I look, there are beautifully displayed vintage glassware, ornate furniture pieces, quirky collectibles, and one-of-a-kind treasures that feel full of stories. Everything's well-kept, thoughtfully arranged, and priced so reasonably--I could spend all afternoon hunting for that perfect find. This spot captures exactly what I love about small-town California: genuine character, friendly vibes, and antiques that make me smile. If you're anywhere near Mariposa or Yosemite, come experience it yourself--you'll feel right at home too!

I also had the pleasure of chatting it up with the very welcoming, charismatic and fun owners! I sincerely look forward to my next visit there! They make art supplies accessible, affordable, fun, and non intimidating. It's important we support their mission, because they're doing great work! I'll definitely be back to donate and to shop!

They provide a wide range of quality art and craft supplies, friendly banter, classes, colorful examples, and occasional mountain concierge service to visitors from out of town.

This store is a great stop when you want hard to find paper, adhesive, embellishments, dies, stamps, inks, and ribbon. It's worth going out of your way. I the Cat's Meow!

Normally I would have to go out of the area to please his artistic side but thankfully our little town has something for all ages to satisfy their needs to be creative. Upon walking in you are adorned with many locals art pieces I.e. hand crafted gems that you can't get at target or tj maxx (I'm 100% in favor of supporting local). While my son was doing his art work I decided to "browse" which turned into a mini shopping spree. There are so many unique things here and I love the atmosphere. The owner is kind and has many plans for the future that I'm looking forward to as many businesses don't last long. I hope this business lasts a long time because it's unique age friendly and supports local artists which is rare in an Amazon to your door world. Prices are reasonable especially for a small family owned business.

If you decide not to buy something just remember that once it's gone, it's gone. They don't keep a regular inventory of everything that they sell. Employees are helpful every time I come in here. They have high security staff and lots of video cameras everywhere to prevent shop lifting. I like that. You cannot take any of the shopping carts out of the store but they will offer to help load your merchandise into your car if you need help. The clothes and shelves in this store can get pretty cluttered and messy especially during the holidays because of the customers. It's a great store to visit if you are looking for a good deal on just about anything (home decor, shoes, kids toys, clothes, kitchen accessories, and traveling amenities.)

I see fellow customers tossing items onto the floor and not picking them up. I see trash everywhere left by people and it sickens me how their is no respect for this establishment. The workers seem stressed as they manage it all short staffed and that really saddens me. The lines are so long and when you ask an employee they'll tell you that it's usually worse than that! I feel bad for this store. Wish you guys luck.
