The shop is a little tucked away, but not too hard to find. They will be closing soon (by end of this month, I believe), but as of today still had quite a bit in stock. Lots of pretty natural fibers, some locally dyed, as well as some synthetics. A bit of spinning fiber, lots of notions, a few kits, project bags, many books and magazines. Check the back for deals! They also have an adorable fiber scene in the planter out front, that has changed with the seasons.

I heard they were on a come back, but it's still struggling apparently. There doesn't seem to be enough employees and the store is filthy and sparse in inventory. What inventory they do have is still boxed up and scattered throughout the store. The fire marshall was called out to the store recently and the store was shut down due to safety violations. If this location eventually closes, it will be of no surprise as much as it's a shame. I will really miss it. I will have to go farther down the road to Hobby Lobby or Michael's.

Stopped in today (11/19/2024), the store looked like complete trash. The first thing I noticed as…read moresoon as I walked in were the nasty floors. It looked like they haven't even had a mop touch them in years. The next thing was just how much things were in disarray. It reminded me of a dirty Goodwill Outlet store. Stuff was everywhere! They are definitely hurting for staff. The cashier was somewhat rude. There was one person checking out when I approached the checkout desk. As soon as she was done with that person she totally ignored me and walked off to get something for what I guessed was an online order and took it outside. She could have at least said she would be right back or something! When she came back in finally, still no apology or anything and just rang me up. This store needs help and it is VERY APPARENT that it is failing. I will not be returning.. I will just go where it looks like customers are being driven towards..Hobby Lobby and Michaels.

I was really impressed that the venue was able to move outdoor vendors inside last minute and allow them use of their basement space.

I do wish there were a few more food options but it was a small event and the ice cream and Thai I had for lunch was still really delicious! We will definitely have to attend again next year and hope the weather cooperates a little better the next time around. :)

But did you know they host a smaller version in December, which just so happens to (smartly) fall on First Friday?

The crowd favorites were still there, like Newfangled Confections, Homespun, Crimson Tate, Farizula Designs, Silver Linings Jewelry, Hoosier Proud, USI, Revival Food Co...the list goes on. Don't forget to check out vendors down in the basement and explore the open studio spaces! I love this bi-annual celebration of all things local and will put it on my calendar for 2016!

Not the biggest location, but they neatly pack quite a bit of goodies in to the space. I've always had positive experiences with their employees. Whether I go to Michael's or Hobby Lobby typically depends on which has what I want on sale. This week, it was Michael's. But even better, I was offered the option of doing site to store and saving an additional 20%. So I paid for everything online and had an email in 30 minutes letting me know my order was ready for pickup. This not only saved me time but also money, with no impulse purchases!

Came here to buy stuff for my son's senior night, particularly for balloons. I checked out the…read moreballoon section by the checkout counter, and they had a large foil basketball balloon which was $12. I found a clearance section in the back of the store. I love clearance so I started rummaging through it. I felt really lucky because I found a smaller foil basketball balloon for $2. I also found a spa headband for $1, these are so useful when I'm washing my face so I couldn't pass it up. I was at the self checkout ringing my items up, and I had asked the worker if I could bring the balloons back to get aired up. She informed me if I took the balloons out of the store and brought them back it was an extra charge- $10 for the large foil balloon and $7 for the smaller foil balloon. That's extremely expensive! I'm so thankful I asked because she told me that I could finish my transaction and then she could make an order for me to pick up my balloons another day, thankfully I didn't need them the same day and I'm thankful she provided me with that information as I would have not been happy being charged that fee. I came back the day I said I would to pick up my order, and I also needed some latex balloons as well. Every color I needed in singles was available except black. I had to purchase a whole pack of black balloons, and I had them air 2 of them up. The pack of black latex balloons was $2.99, and to air each black latex balloon was $1.99. I was only charged the purchase price of the other single latex balloons, those didn't have a fee to get aired up. It was very inconvenient that they didn't have any single black latex balloons and more expensive. It's probably better to plan ahead with balloons and know exactly what you are paying for. The man working the counter aired up the latex balloons I requested, but it did take some time and another worker had to help check other people out who did not want to use the self check out.

This artist's work has danced into my family's daily life. Be it our slowly procured collection of hand crafted bowls that are as unique and beautiful as snowflakes and yet durable enough to take the daily use my children put it through. If you're a person that maybe prefers a handle on their bowls Dancing Pottery also makes these things called mugs. I have mugs that have survived a teenagers temper tantrum of having to hand wash the dishes. It's easy to say that the quality is on par with Corning Ware.Yet it is no light utterance to compare the esthetic of Rookwood, Pewabic, or Van Briggle. The pride, love, and regard that Dancing Pottery puts into every piece make my cornflakes seem rather insignificant.
