I tend to have high expectations, and they hit every single one, and exceeded. They communicated well, were flexible and easy going with the kids, and just really kind people. The kids had the best time. When the light turned off for the glow and the dark splatter painting, you saw all the kids scream and look around the room with awe. I knew that was the moment "we won". Thank you so much team!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A+++++

I highly recommend this for a girls night (you can bring wine and snacks!). Or even to take the kids on a day off from school.

There was a birthday party going on in the party room, and almost every table in the main section was taken. There's a set fee of $9 per painter for the studio fee, and then you pay for the price of whichever piece you select. Then you get to pick five colors to put on your palette. My daughters had fun painting. They are probably little for this activity, but it's been so cold out that we just wanted something new to do. If you have littles I'd just encourage you to pick an easy piece. We actually missed an entire wall of kid friendly pieces, so I wish we knew about that. They have a good selection of pieces to paint, and I can definitely see us coming back here again in the future, and also might even consider it for my daughter's fifth birthday party!

The items we choose to paint and decorate need to always be handled with care bc they can be fragile. I have Halloween and Father's Day porcelain paintings we chose from and still have it in the best of condition, 6 years later! I love all of their different selections and can also host birthdays parties here! Kids love bdays here, as, they let their inner creativity shine!! Prices are reasonable and there is a lot of free parking available which is always, a plus! I definitely recommend! So much fun!!

Highly recommended. A good friend who was recently married recommended Megan Veliz (owner and…read moredesigner) to us for our daughter's Memorial Day weekend wedding on Chesapeake Bay. We had seen her work for our friend and were very impressed. Though we are in Maryland and Megan is in New Jersey, we were able to accomplish everything smoothly and efficiently by phone, internet and e-mail. Megan is delightful to work with and very creative. She helped us shape our thoughts around our beach theme consistent with our daughter and son-in-laws personality and then gave us options for a master design consistent with that and our color scheme. From that she designed a complete wedding suite: save the dates, invitations, thank you notes, place cards, menu cards, programs, hotel welcome bag notes and even some special items like a framed seating sign. We were delighted by the result and received many compliments on how beautiful the work she did was. She also provided calligraphy services for the invitations and place cards and mailed all of the invitations. Her calligraphy work is beautiful and she has many styles to choose from. Perhaps most important is the advice she gave us on timing, etiquette and what to expect and how to manage the process. She was patient and very responsive to our many questions and all of the last minute changes that are inevitable in putting together a large wedding. That was invaluable to us in planning a large wedding with over 200 invitations. Cannot recommend more highly. Check out her web site at www.honeybeepapr.com.

I explained what I was looking for and within minutes he understood what I wanted and help me pick out the accessories to add embroidery. They had a variety of samples in stock so I was able to see and feel the products. We emailed a few times and responses where always very quick and addressed all my questions.

I have been a repeat customer at this location for my business. I just dropped off an order of…read morehats, coats, and sweatshirts to be embroidered. I have had these same items embroidered in the past without issues. This time around they placed the logo and name on different sides of the various items. They never said that they would have to do this, and there was no communication from them what so ever. When I noticed that they misplaced the logo and name on my coats and brought them back to the store, the gentleman behind the counter who took my order said he had no notes on the order regarding placement, and that he could offer a refund for these misprints but had to go get his manager George. When George came, he stated that this is why he does not want to let people bring their own items in to be embroidered, because they are too picky. I am not being picky, i just expected uniformity. This was not an issue on previous orders, but now it was. George did not offer anything to resolve this for me. Being a repeat customer, and having just ordered 500 dollars of embroidery, I would have been happy with them simply crediting me for the items that were mis-embroidered, like the one gentleman offered to do. I was going to be ordering dozens of t-shirts from them for the warmer months, but i will no longer being using them. They were rude and acted like i created the problem, when they simply messed up. Everyone messes things up sometimes, but when you do you have to be accountable for it, and most businesses try to keep their clients happy. They do not communicate at all, and never even let you know when your order is ready for pickup, but they have no problem blasting your email with junk. I would not recommend them to anyone, especially a smaller company or individual. They do not care about their clients. If you are somebody that is looking for printing, marketing, or embroidery services, look elsewhere. You will be much happier, and you will get what you actually pay for. Zero stars.

I know absolutely nothing about yarn or knitting. However, I needed to pick up a gift for a friend…read morewho is *very* much into it so I dropped by The Blue Purl while visiting Madison. I am very happy I did! The Blue Purl is a beautiful shop. It looks like you're hanging out in someone's beautiful den (who just happens to LOVE knitting with TONS of yarn on shelves). Here's the brilliant part: The Blue Purl has several preset kits you can buy as gifts. Each one includes all the yarn you will need with a card or paper inside with color photos showing you what the end product will look like. This was *perfect*! I wound up finding a set and it made for a super easy purchase. One more fun thing: the shop owners will also wind the yarn for you at no additional cost. This is probably old hat for knitters but for me this was a very cool thing to witness so I had some fun too! I highly recommend The Blue Purl if you need gifts for a knitter or need supplies for yourself.
