I made a trip to Hobby Lobby to purchase a few charms to make wine charms. Upon arrival, i noticed…read morethere was a 50% off sale for exactly what i came in for which i was ecstatic about! I ended up purchasing a large amount due to the sale ending the next day and i didn't want to miss out on the deal. After going home and deciding on what i wanted to keep i took the rest back to return. No issues there. A few more days down the line i changed my mind again and needed less charms due to a change in guests for my event. So i had to take a few more back, unopened of course. This older lady... Debora.. was very passive aggressive with me. I was trying to make conversation and say how sorry i was that it was so complicated due to the last person marking all over the receipt with pen and making it confusing. She goes "well we know how to read it but when you do 2 separate returns it makes it confusing for us". In an annoyed voice. And so i go "well it would just be nice for you guys if you just needed to scan each item like every other store instead of needing to match up barcodes." Trying to show how i was being empathetic to her. That just really irritated me. It was so unnecessary to be that way. She didn't even say bye she just handed me my receipt and moved to the next person.

This review is not for the cashier, but for the manager who made a point to shame me for making a…read morehonest error and after I verbally owned that error. She was unnecessarily rude to me. I can't imagine the lengths she goes to for people who don't own their mistakes. Lane 1 was closed with a sign. I had an even exchange, to swap out the same fake flower for a different color and a stuffed animal I found while waiting in line. I explained I thought the returns/exchanges was only for lane 1 and I'd be sure to make a mental note for next time I'm in. She went out of her way to point to the line behind me and say "See all these people, you're putting them all out" and glared at me. It took all of 90 seconds for that manager who was standing just 3 feet away at the front of the store watching the lines to come approve my exchange. See receipt for the even exchange. They owed me a virtual penny. I'm not sure why she displaced her anger onto me but I was polite and took ownership of my error thanking her for approving it and shaming me was her response. Reminds me of the quote "hate breeds hate, but kindness grows just as wild". If you can be anything, be kind.

I love the organization of the fabrics in various color stories that draw you in and welcome you to find the exact thing you didn't know you needed. They also have a variety of patterns, books and projects and the staff couldn't be more pleasant to work with. In addition to fabrics and notions, there are also a selection of wood implements and tools that are hand tooled and the highest of quality. Whether driving up from Austin or south from Dallas, this is a shop NOT to be missed. Nestled in the front of the Homestead Craft Village, you can also venture into the Waffle house or Cheese shop or butcher shop... you can explore the other craft areas for pottery or blacksmithing and truly make a day of it.

Justin & Rebecca are not only fantastic people, they are top notch business owners. I have ordered quite a few items from them. The customer service is stellar. They are quick to respond & quick with getting your custom made product completed. They are also incredible about helping your idea turn into something amazing. I have called Rebecca with vague ideas and she has come up with designs for items far better than my imagination. I couldn't find anything bad to say about this business if I tried unless I just made up some nonsense. They are really that good!
