Experience: This is my go to store, I live 8 minutes away. For the home projects that I've done, I…read morehave been able to find all the products I need. The store is organized, never too crowded. I've gone to purchase a few frames, for the style I went for, they have had exactly the color and fit I need. I haven't gotten anything custom framed, but I've only ever seen someone back there once. Selection: Good variety on everything! Never a miss Parking: On the weekend when it's busier, I park on the roof of the parking structure. During the week, in the evening, it's super easy to find parking right at the front of the store. The street isn't as busy to, super safe. Customer Service: It's eh. No one will go out of their way to ask you a question or for help, which I don't mind, since I like to wonder. When I have asked questions though, the staff has been bland and blah. Verdict: Will continue to go here, it has everything I need, and parking is always easy. Plus, they have a Target and Sprouts nearby. A good shopping place.

Michael's doesn't recycle the Balloon Time !…read more I am very disappointed that Michael's doesn't recycle the Balloon Time helium canisters. They must sell more individual canisters of helium than anyone else in LA. It is terrible. It is a huge waste. There are very few places to recycle helium balloon canisters. You can't just put them in the trash. The store employees are very helpful.

Come dressed in clothes you don't mind getting a little dirty!…read more I came with my partner and we both loved the experience. It was such a fun class, and as first-timers to pottery, we felt like it was a great introduction. The instructors were helpful, and the whole process was really enjoyable. I'd definitely come back to make something new. Once you're done, they glaze your piece for you, and you'll have to come back a few weeks later to pick up the finished product.

Highly recommend Bitter Root Pottery's rooftop experience, especially for beginners! I came here…read morewith my partner for our anniversary, and he surprised me with a fantastic view, cozy ambience, and an amazing pottery class. We were led upstairs, and I was surprised by the rooftop pond, and how beautiful the koi fishes were! You can also see the Hollywood sign in the distance. It was a very serene space. Filming is welcome (a plus for capturing memories!), and parking is free right out front. Just note: the lot is pretty small, so I recommend arriving early to snag a spot. Our instructor was super informative and made sure to spend time with everyone in the class, walking us through every step of the process. It was hands-on and beginner-friendly, which made it all the more enjoyable. The only downside is the wait bc our finished bowls took about 6-8 weeks to be ready after shaping them on the wheel. But honestly, it was worth it--they turned out beautifully :')

When I was a kid, I used to run to the Hallmark stores and behind the counter, there would be rolls…read moreof stickers hung on a wire display, in which you can buy squares of stickers. This store is wall to wall of those stickers! Stickers for every occasion, holiday, styles of different eras. I have found characters that I have loved in all stages of my life. They also carry different sticker books and packs, as well as sticker lines from different vendors. The prices are pretty reasonable but there are some where one sticker would cost $9 so be aware of the prices. It's easy to get caught up with the dopamine kick from all the nostalgia! Not only are the stickers nostalgic, this store is nostalgic as well. It's one of the stores in the Original Farmers Market that have stuck around for decades! I used to come here when I was young and now I bring my toddler niece for some treats that is not edible but just as fun to get. The staff is always friendly here. Come by and support this gem of a store!

I have never ever left anything but good reviews on here, but the experience I just had with Cane &…read moreBasket Supply left me feeling genuinely taken advantage of and insulted. I brought two cane cesca style chairs to this place for a repair quote on January 5th. When I arrived, Susan and Fred quoted me approximately $85-90/chair, they also volunteered that they would even polish the legs where the chrome was rusting. The quoted timeline was approx. 2 weeks. Sounds great! Next step they said would be a follow up call in one week with an exact quote once their guy was back in and could look at them. No call. I followed up myself two weeks later, and was told it would be an additional 2 weeks. No quote yet. Ok, no problem, I said. They must be busy. 6 weeks later, still no call. I followed up again on 2/13 and was finally given a quote - $400 - over double the original quoted price. I pointed this out to Susan on the phone and her verbatim response was "I'm sorry numbers are confusing." I swear to god lol. They came down to $300 all-in after seeing I was clearly unhappy with the price gouging, but that is still $100 over their original quote! When I went to pick up the chairs - first, the legs were not polished as Susan and Fred originally promised. Their demeanor, including Everado, was instantly hostile as they snickered at me despite the fact that I was nothing but polite. I wanted to say "What is going on here? How old are you and what makes you think it's ok to treat someone, let alone a customer like this?" I'm the youngest person of the three of them by about 30 years probably and they were acting like poorly behaved children. Maybe they felt they could get away with treating me like this because of my age? A final slap in the face, when I went to pay, I asked if they took credit card, to which they said "yes, but it will charge us a fee." Ok, I said, fine with me. Everado then insisted that I pay via Zelle or cash, despite them admitting to having the capability to take credit card. The message essentially being "yes, we take credit card, but not for you". If there's another place that does this in LA, I'd say go there. The work they do is fine, even good, but save yourself the pain of having to deal with these grown up children.

Such a cute and fun place to make keychains, jewelry, bag charms and journals. I took my friend for…read moreher 50th to make journals. It was actually a lot of fun and we love how our journals turned out. There are 2 sizes and many color options. A chord, 2 lines inserts and 1 charm are included. There are so many charm options. The only thing I struggled with is that I thought that there would be more help. They give you a QR code to scar for instructions but the video is so fast. You can ask someone to help but when it gets busy, it's hard to ask. Also, putting on the charms is on the more difficult side. But it's a fun place for an outing. Parking is also a little difficult as you need to find street parking. We went right when it opened so it wasn't as crowded so if you don't like crowds, I would suggest going earlier.

If you're looking for the cutest girls' creative day in LA, Charmed LA is SUCH a vibe…read more This isn't a café. There are no drinks. No distractions. It's literally a space where you sit down, slow down, and create. You get to design your own bracelets, pick your charms, layer your colors, and make something that actually means something to you. And I loved that part. It felt intentional. Not rushed. Not just for content. The whole experience is soft, girly, nostalgic in the best way -- like grown-up arts & crafts but elevated. It's giving: * healing girl time * intentional conversations * matching bestie bracelets * main character energy And what I really appreciated? You walk out with something YOU made. Not something you bought off a shelf -- something you created. For a girls' day on Melrose? 10/10. For a birthday activity? So cute. For just tapping into your creative side? Perfect. It's one of those experiences that reminds you to slow down and just enjoy being present.

Greg is outstanding to his loyal customers. I have found every single stone I have ever wanted. They also have beautiful gifts for your children rings exotic you could make stones that you have never seen before beads of a lifetime treasures. The best gift you can give your mother for Mother's Day or Father's Day. I spend hours at the location and it's so amazing. They give you a tray to put your jewels on, Reverend Michael Beckwith of Agape brought me some rare stones on one of his journeys and I have paired them with the stones that I buy from them they have the perfect strings to string your necklaces or bracelets. It's a once in a lifetime treasure jewelry box we need to support this amazing family business. you won't find better prices in Los Angeles. No one can beat their prices extremely reasonable prices It's less than any jewelry store you can find and you can make it custom to the individuals personality & colors I truly love this store and the people that run it. Thanks again for such a wonderful experience today as usual I can't wait to get back! thank you Greg for my wonderful gift it's like creating your own jewelry l always have so much fun finding prefect stones & beads that l can't live without
