I found it amazing that a visitor to Cultureclash would find the staff "snotty". I've watched and…read morelistened to the gallery people care for all kinds of folks dressed in all kinds of clothes. No sign of arrogance. Maybe the critic was too busy being a "Coaster" attituder?? Wish her and her wealthy friend a peaceful, gentle, softly spoken day.

Excellent gallery, super snotty and unwelcoming owner/attendant. Even when asked about the artist…read moreof a piece, all I got was "they are not from here...we've carried their work for a long time." Even after buying a couple small pieces, no offer of who the artist was or any other information. I was half tempted to just buy the majority of the gallery in a Pretty Woman-esque snit. Yes, we were wearing athletic wear after a day in the mountains and perhaps did not seem up to snuff. But, I'm an artist and I collect art on all my travels, and my traveling companion also has a massive, high-end folk and American art collection, so...way to go, shop.

The entire ordering process was a cinch; they're already on it! I understand that all their easels are handmade in Colorado. And from what I gathered, they have 24-hr customer service with a real human being (no bots or AI here, baby!). The fellow I talked to--Nick--seemed like a real nice, helpful guy with a great sense of humor. I got a good feeling about this. Good to know there are still some American companies who care about true craftsmanship and artistic beauty. Nice work, people!

I hung many beautiful pieces in here; one appears in photo 8 on Yelp (on the wall behind the mug). I have never received any income, not a single dollar, from the 10 works I have displayed in here. I have reached out several times to come and get my art, they have never once responded. These are terrible business owners, and terrible human beings who make their living off of stealing from artists.

Just want to give a shout-out to this wonderful store and Sharon who works there. I've stopped in a…read morecouple of times on Colorado road trips and there are some real treasures that make the store a great place to browse. On my most recent visit, I bought a painting and needed it shipped to Seattle. Sharon took down my info and said she'd make the arrangements with a local shipping company. When she investigated, she felt the price was too high so she created your own packaging and took my purchase to a spot in Denver (the next time she headed there), arranging for it to be shipped at one-third the original quote. So above and beyond! What's more, when I called to make the final payment arrangements, I immediately recognized Sharon's friendly voice from when I was in the store. It's because of Sharon that my partner commented, then and now, "I love Coloradans!" Yes, she's excellent PR for the entire state. Worth a visit. It's going to be a regular stop for me whenever I'm passing through.

The owner was a wealth of knowledge, and then some. The yarns, fibers, notions, tools; EVERYTHING one needs for knitting and crocheting. I wish I could have stayed the entire day. Serendipity is my new Happy Place. I'm looking forward to our next visit to the area in May!

Ok, I have been knitting for about a year now and I have visited most of the yarn stores in…read moreSouthern Denver and this place still stands out. The downstairs is gorgeous. It is beautifully laid out, mixing yarn and gifts, crammed in wall to wall in the old converted house. Upstairs is the serious yarn stash. Floor to (low attic eaves) ceiling and wall to wall yarn! They have an excellent selection, good prices for the quality of yarn they carry and a helpful, caring staff. We drove through Buena Vista this last weekend and the only reason I didn't fling myself from the vehicle (while Shawn was trying to fly by going twice the speed limit so that maybe if he drove by fast enough I may somehow forget it was there and drag him inside with me for 3 hours of yarn shopping) was because it was closed. If there were 10 stars, this place would get them all and more. If you are ever anywhere near Buena Vista, even if you don't do yarny crafts and you just like beautiful, hand-made gifts, do yourself a favor and stop by. And another update for the yarn I bought there - the brand the lady recommended, Alpaca With a Twist, is now my all-time favorite brand of alpaca yarn (and I even attended the Great Western Alpaca Show last year). She had excellent taste and great advice.
