I especially liked that many of the products support good causes, which makes shopping here feel even more meaningful. There's also a small side room with sale items for bargain hunters. Zoya, the salesperson, was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. She told us the stories behind many of the items and explained their origins in great detail. You can tell she's genuinely passionate about the products she sells, which made browsing even more enjoyable. If you're visiting or spending time in town, this shop is definitely worth a stop. Just be sure to check their hours before going, as they're only open on certain days.

Their handcrafted necklaces and earrings reminded me of some of my favorite Marjorie Baer items. I am paring down my jewelry collection so I focused my shopping on the colorful tops and jackets. Prices seemed reasonable for creating a look that is not "cooky cutter." Several tops were reversible which is great for traveling. Stop by. You won't be disappointed.

I love that we have an independent art supply store, right here in Walnut Creek! I've come here…read morewith my daughter a couple of times since they opened to get supplies for my painting class at the Community Arts Center, and this store has a great selection of artist paints, from oils to acrylics to watercolor to gouache, and different brands and series at a variety of price points. Holbein, Amsterdam, and Golden were the different acrylic brands I purchased. My daughter really liked drawing with the Blackwing pencils they had on display, which are really nicely designed pencils with a super smooth, buttery feel to them, so we got a set of those as well. The staff/owner are very friendly and helpful, with a depth of knowledge about their curated selection of supplies and how to choose the ones for your particular artistic needs and budget--which is a much more enjoyable experience than being overwhelmed by online superstores with too many options. They gave me some new creative ideas, so I have several new items to add to my shopping list for my next visit. Plus, it's easy to stop by with their dedicated free parking spaces (entry to the lot off of Bonanza), so you don't have to worry about the street meters. I hope others will buy local and support this wonderful new independent shop!

We were transported to Maui by the sights and smells that greeted us. My four-year-old son was delighted by the ornaments on the tree up front.

I will be back to purchase gifts for my girlfriends--art, jewelry, clothing, candles, drinkware--all with soothing Hawaiian vibes.

The store has a huge selection of paper reams and envelopes of colors and types. I usually try to look for certain types of paper for my projects and writing. I asked a staff member at the front, who just pointed to the aisles I can look. He said everything I needed I would find. I honestly was quite overwhelmed and getting quite anxious, as I have already spent much time looking. I did end up finding nice writing paper. Pricy but good value. When rung up I was told there were other cheaper alternatives, but by then I wanted to leave. I at least know where good writing paper is, but the other types I will continue to purchase online.

A new job that includes running the occasional office errand led me to this location to pick up boxes of paper and multicolored envelopes of varying sizes, and I learned this location was right around the corner from my apartment of 11 years. Silly me! Easy to find and park at, and I was greeted and helped as soon as I walked in the door. I was able to do a quick setup of a new customer account, and was helped with the heavy paper boxes to my car by a very friendly employee. I didn't have much time to explore but I'm so glad I know this store is here, because it will be a great resource for business and personal use going forward. Friendly helpful staff and a dream come true for small businesses!
