Nifty little crafty place that I stumbled upon by accident whilst searching for the booze store... lol!
They sell a lot of needlepoint stuff but it's not really for counted cross stitch. I was going to say to go to Stitches Etc if you want counted cross stitch goods but they just closed down, sadly, so no other locally owned and operated places like that ...none that I am aware of anyhow!!
But yea, I came in here looking for some embroidery floss. They have tons of colors, so be prepared to spend a little while browsing. The types of patterns for embroidery weren't really my cup of tea (I tend to stitch inappropriate phrases and other such obscenities, lol) but my mom and my grandma would probably dig on the stuff they have here. Some of it was pretty cute, just not my style. I would like to learn to do embroidery and other needlepoint stuff besides counted cross stitch at some point though.
I also got a really nifty pair of anodized metal stork shaped scissors and some cardboard DMC floss organizers (life savers!!) for my floss stash. They were inexpensive and very useful. When I came in originally, there were two staff in there, and one was helping a customer, and the other was marking things down or something, and neither of them really asked me if I needed help or if I was looking for something specific, but I suppose it's cause they were busy.
Eventually, though, one lady did ask, and I told her what I needed, and she helped me find it.
Overall, a cute little place, great selection, and they do offer classes! It's kind of tricky-ish to locate, perhaps, but it's in a little shopping plaza. If you went to Wine and Cheese Place, you went too far and passed it. Anyway, I am glad I (accidentally!) found this place!! I know I can find specialty floss here if it's a pinch and I know a big box shop won't have what I need. A little out of the way for me, but heck, it's on the way to a booze shop, so that's convenient. ;-)
Crafty booze time, yay! read more
