The store is small but beautifully curated. The sales associate greeted us when we walked in and wrapped up our purchase with a bag and ribbon. This store is located on Main Street which is not open to car traffic so walking and shopping on Main Street is a great experience not to mention the easily accessible free public parking lots nearby. Make sure to check out this hidden jewel of a shop.

Because of Covid I could not wander around the store (looking forward to that day) and she brought a few options to inside the front of the store. She checked and made sure the greeting card sleeves were big enough. The store looks well stocked with choices and is neat and organized. I'll be back.

A great place to get stationary and paper in all forms! I do a lot of direct mailings at my job and…read moreso being able to shop at Kelly paper for the highest quality paper products, locally, is a huge lifesaver!

Good selection although I was misinformed the gentleman in the counter said the $80 kit was the same as $140 dollar kit claiming it was just a "German box" which was false the other one came with a stand a 2 separate engines. Anyways he tried to upsell some more products on me like glue he said the glue I had wouldn't suffice and I should get "this one" surprise suprise the glue I use is good enough.

I would definately reccomend Smytha and reincARTnated!

If you are hosting/organizing a party or event and want to do most of the decorations yourself,…read morethis is a good store to shop at. They specialize in decorations and supplies for events/parties including birthdays, baby showers, weddings and Quinceañeras. You can find ribbon and ruffles by the spool in just about any pastel or happy/bright color here. No dark themed stuff or over-the-hill party supplies here! Yes to balloons, tissue paper, table clothes, plates/napkins, and LOTS of stuff to make your own wedding table decorations. This is a really fun store and the prices are reasonable. Small, but lots of stuff crammed in here, floor to ceiling. The woman behind the counter greeted me with a smile and welcome.

I got some buildable Pokémon figures the last time I was there. Super cute. Please support smaller businesses like this, so we aren't left with only copy and paste corporate stores in Ventura! Suggestion for the store: I'd love to see Code Geass, Attack on Titan, and Final Fantasy figures added, pretty please.

Increasingly, this store feels like a messy zoo. I recently picked up a bargain paint-by-number kit…read moreand it was complete chaos and customer service was subpar. I understand holidays add extra stress to store vibes, as my first retail job was working at Walmart on Black Friday (with the flu!)... but my goodness, after my last experience I'm done with Michael's. The least these big retailers could do is clean up their floor and display areas, don't you think? A long time ago, I heard a rumor that big business has been trying to shift consumers to strictly online purchases (deterring customers from enjoying an in-store experience).... they seem to be doing a good job with that, so maybe this was not just a rumor? Hmmm, time will tell. From my POV, greed has gotten the best of these big companies, on many levels, and despite flashy commercials and celebrity endorsements, they aren't going to do so well in 2026. We shall see...

I enjoy going here to look at the clearance section and also find myself oftentimes looking for a solid frame for a picture I need to frame for my household or am gifting. At regular prices, the frames are not worth it, but if they go on sale, it's a good deal. They have some high-quality products here, but the prices are pretty high. If you're patient enough, you might be able to wait until something goes on sale and get something for a good deal. The aisles are always clean, and someone is readily available to find if I need help. Parking is located in the Walmart supercenter location near Sam's club.
