Me and my boyfriend went to this place as a cute date. They said they would email us when the art…read morewas ready, yet we NEVER EVER got an email. They said they would hold our items for three months and if not collected, they would throw them out. After not recieving any type of email for two months, my boyfriend drove all the way from abbotsford to this shop to pick up the art that we had created as he wanted to surpise me with it. Once he went into the shop, he dicovered that our art was not there anymore, they had lost it or thrown it out. This is so sad as they were a pretty expensive price as well i would say so. I am so dissapointed as this was something very special for us and it has been completely ruined. So i would reccomend you go to a more professional place where they dont throw away your things and actually email you when your art is ready. I would give this a 0 star review if i could.

A small shop located within Harrison Village Mall - a strip-mall of stores and eateries, located…read morejust off the main street in Harrison. It's a rather cute little place, with many offerings to entice a visitor to buy something to take back home as a souvenir of their visit to the area. They have a quite decent selection of non-fiction books: on mostly BC-related topics, and always a selection of the latest covering Sasquatch ("Bigfoot") and related topics -- clothing: a very good selection of high-quality, printed t-shirts and sweatshirts, in sizes ranging from baby to adult, designs and colours, from 'fun' to quite beautiful -- and other gifts and souvenirs: keepsakes, tourist, and other 'stuff & such'. This past week's trip and stay to Harrison Hot Springs saw us come back home with another fine t-shirt (to join others, and books purchased there on past trips). Quality products, friendly service, and always well-worth a stop and browse - we really like Serenity Now!!

Such a gem of a bead shop! Their prices are relatively affordable, and they have an amazing…read moreselection of beads, tools, and all the little accessories you didn't even realize you needed. The staff are incredibly helpful and patient, especially if you're not 100% sure what you're looking for or are new to the shop. Whether you're a beginner or experienced beader or hobbyist, there's plenty of inventory to choose from. I'll definitely be back!

My package arrived today and I had high hopes of finally finding the perfect green and purple solid…read moreopaque glass beads that Beadazzle is so proud of. The "FGB" (Fancy Glass Beads) that are made in China that "are comparable to Japanese and Czech Seed Beads but at half the price. Specially made for Beadazzle by FGB" Are advertised as solid glass. They are in fact painted beads and the coating rubs off easily when doing slip stitch bead crochet, and square stitch. They often use photos from genuine brands to promote these cheaper, low quality beads. They're cheap beads. you get exactly what you pay for. This company could improve by allowing customers to write reviews for their products, offering refunds, and not stealing photos from genuine brands to promote their own inferior products. It is incredibly disappointing that I can no longer recommend this Canadian website. I will change this review if Beadazzle.ca refunds the portion of my order that was falsely advertised, AND changes the product photos AND descriptions of their "FGB" beads thus making themselves trustworthy again. Until then, the review stands.

I found a new addition to the shop since I was there last -- Tejo handcrafted stone decor. With a couple of shelves devoted to displaying a limited selection of their soapstone crafts. Very cool stuff. I looked and admired. Left the shop with two, crochet-crafted tulips, and a ceramic mug. One of the flowers will look just right in a vase purchased at the shop next door. Not sure, at this time, whether I will use the mug for hot beverages, or as a vase, for a grouping of flowers. Time will tell -- at present, just pondering and admiring. I am glad to have devoted this time to returning to Churi. It is a fine shop, with such lovely displays of rather unique crafts and related products. And my purchase will provide memories to "keep in touch".

Supplying many of these hobbies have been relegated to a few shelves in big-box craft shops like Michaels and Hobby Lobby in the US. Once I found Imperial Hobbies on Yelp during our vacation and it was near our hotel, I made my plans. I dropped my wife off for her spa day and this was going to be my spa day ;) The store is in a group of buildings almost at the end of the runway of Vancouver Airport (YVR). If you hang around, you'll see tons of airliners approaching for landings and roaring off on take offs. I just couldn't believe the selection of plastic models of planes, armor, cars and trucks along with complete selections of paint and finishing materials. It's these types of stores that I would spend hours in as a boy, but could only stare wide-eyed because I never had much money back then. But now as an adult with a job and disposable income, I probably would have gone broke if I didn't have to pack everything into my luggage to fly home. The favorable CAD$ to USD$ exchange rate also helped a lot in my shopping. I ended up with a couple of scale plastic model kits and a flying model rocket that are rare, out of production kits or very hard to find, even on-line.
