Throughout the store the employees are very nice. I've only had one instance where I was treated as though I was a potential shoplifter (!) and I didn't shop there for a couple of years as I was so annoyed!!! Cashiers are very nice too! Returns are not always simple - lots of questions and the feeling that returns are a nuisance for the store. Selection of goods is fine. Too bad everything is made in China. And expensive too! My grandchildren love it when I take them to the store.

Set in the former brick school building on Evergreen Blvd. at west end of Officer's Row (built by Mother Joseph in the 1800s). Across the street and over one from the new downtown Ft. Vancouver Regional Library. This place is fragrance-free, dog-free, quiet, and sociable. I appreciate this place. Prices are reasonable. Go elsewhere for bold colors or abstract art.

The quickest way to cheer my wife up is to take her to a quilt shop. That's what we did today, and…read moremy wife left very happy. The shop is located in the historic Providence Academy building, which is the perfect setting for quilts. We had a great chat with the owner who is super friendly and knowledgeable. The shop isn't huge but has a unique aesthetic feel, and a good variety within that. She offers quilting and crafting classes which my wife is planning to sign up for. We recommend checking it out.

Lots of fabric, several different thread choices and tools too. With that said, on the flip side, the owner can be a little gruff.

It's like getting a brand new boat without taking out a new mortgage. They were very helpful in materials selection and made the whole process much easier.

We scheduled an appointment and they showed up on time, analyzed the situation and fixed the stains to a point you couldn't tell they were ever there. Super professional and friendly. They hauled away the pieces they couldn't fix to their workshop in Beaverton. To pick them up, you need to make an appointment...just don't show up :). Their prices were reasonable for the amount and quality of work they did. I'll hit them up again should I need work on my leather couches or any upholstering job.

Unfortunately, the seat received water damage and an old cat had its way with the arm. Irene told me what woukd need to be repaired and helped me choose just the right fabric.

I drove an hour from Longview in order to have her work on the love seat, and it was completely worth it! It looks beautiful. She applied loving detail and did quality work. I would highly recommend her.

The window seat cushions were a horrible 1960's pink (really worn and sun as well as water damaged) and the chaise which was my grandmother's was a rust color velvet that was quite worn out and had holes and rips.

Take a stroll up the rustic stairs to view everything from canvas paintings to coffee cups.
