(i sew a lot but am not big on crafting so some of it was out of my realm of understanding.) the ribbon, lace, or tulle by the yard was on the pricier side. they also have some random little toys that are like fifteen cents. and beads. there are so so many beads here, it made me wish i did bead crafts of some sort. also, they give you a little gift when they ring you up. i got a diy lace snowball ornament. it's hard to describe but you kind of feel like you tried to go back in time, but the machine took you just a bit too far. but the stuff is still relevant to your interests, but slightly off enough that you're not going to buy everything. just go check it out. it's a lot of fun and i'll definitely be back.

Tonight I have the pleasure of volunteering in the store wrapping gifts for The Ronald McDonald House. I've truly enjoyed seeing customer after customer come in with a personalized greeting for the owner, Rachael, as she addressing them by name. I love the class, style and quality of the clothes and home items. It's really nice to see men looking at the John Lennon Collection and Desigual brand clothing. Women are loving and purchasing coats, wraps. My holiday request for my kids are the Clara Clark sheets! I have to see why people are coming just hoping they are on sale. Wrapping gifts and listening to the shoppers has been fun tonight.

Rachael and another employee took a lot of time guiding me through the store and answering my questions. I was especially looking for a shirt because a few years ago I had purchased a John Lennon shirt for myself and absolutely love it. Rachael showed me a beautiful Desigual shirt and I knew that my partner would truly like it. When I had finished paying for the three gifts, Rachael then offered to wrap them. She did a magnificent job and this past Saturday my partner opened his gifts. He was absolutely amazed by the Desigual shirt and insisted on wearing it to dinner that evening. It looked great on him! All evening, he received numerous compliments on the shirt from various folks at the restaurant. Rachael...THANK YOU! I (we) will definitely be back in the future.

I love Blick in general. I used to work down the street from a location in Chicago that was TWO…read moreFLOORS and I could spend hours in there. It was my favorite place to brows. Now, this Blick isn't two floors, in fact their one floor is only a fraction of that other store, but not every location can be that stacked. It's a smaller footprint but they pack a lot in. You don't usually get to see ceramic glazes and underglazes in arts & craft stores but they carry some which made me really happy as I was able to find a few of the underglazes I had been looking for. They also carry the Mayco brand (which no other ceramics specialty shops in the area I've been to carry) and I was able to find a few of their colors that I had had on my wish list. They have a ton of brushes, canvas, paints, pencils, solvents, etc, etc. All at various price points, so no matter what your background is, professional artist or novice, you can find something to either get you started or help you hone your craft. In addition to the art supplies they do have a small section of some miscellaneous gifty-type things which are also fun to browse (many of which would make great stocking stuffers). My last visit I got a keychain tape measure and I can't tell you how often I use that thing. Best couple of bucks I've ever spent! The other thing worth noting is that they do offer a "buy online pick up in the store" option which is great if you're in a hurry. If they don't have what you're looking for in shop they can find it for you in their online store. I've searched for some really random stuff over the years and I've always at least been able to find it on their website. Staff here is very nice and helpful. I love the mural on the wall outside, too. Fitting for such a great art store.

All of the possible classes are listed in their website. I would be hard to pick a favorite class. Each of the classes is taught by a different artist or expert in that class. There are 2 different areas where the classes are taught one in the back and one in the middle section. The website has a description of each class that is offered as well as the requirements that you need to bring for the class. The ability to walk out with a project that you learned how to make is priceless. I highly recommend going to a class at My New Favorite Thing or just going shopping. Local artists each get a section to display. I will be going back for more projects.
