This is such a cool place. It's essentially an art cafe with a variety of art projects that you…read morecan just walk in and do, with all materials supplied for you: scrapbooking, watercolor, beading, carving a stamp, or even just an art project you've been wanting to do but needed space for. Sophie, the Owner, also offers unique specialty classes like teacup succulent gardens, tote paint night, beaded flowers and vase painting, bedazzling a favorite book, to name just a few. A really interesting and original variety. I took a Pet Portrait Painting class and had so much fun. I did realize though that I am very errr.. particular, so perhaps painting is not my artistic future. Sophie was incredibly helpful when it came to getting started and progressing along, plus mixing colors to achieve the look I wanted. Bonus that cool tunes were playing throughout our painting. I am really happy with how the portrait of my kitten turned out. We even left with our pictures in an upcycled frame. She has a bunch of fun things planned for the future, so I can definitely say I'll be a regular. Parking was easy as there is free lot attached to the building. Some beverages and light snacks are available for purchase, as well as take home art projects like cross stitch and embroidery.

There's a collage bar that one friend used for scrapbooking. They purchased some kits including a Crosstitch kit, embroidery kit, and hand sewing kit. Painting kits were also available. All extra supplies that you might need are provided. One criticism is it was on the pricey side but worth it for the activity, and nothing unreasonable. The person who I believe was the owner was VERY helpful in all aspects! In terms of snacks, they have hot tea available or some canned drinks and chips for purchase. It was a lot of fun and music to set a great vibe.

It's so clean, bright, and full of fun items. There were THREE clearance sections, cards, seasonally themed collections, and all the wrapping options you could ever ask for! I found a discounted manual coffee grinder for camping trips, along with some cards and self-care must-haves. The staff are so kind, but they don't follow you around or pressure you into a particular section or purchase. I appreciated the wealth of knowledge they had to offer, plus all the sustainable packaging at their disposal. The biodegradable bags made my eco-friendly heart happy. Definitely give this place a visit if you find love in the details or are looking for special finishing touches to add to a gift!

Several different options from covers, lined, unlined, dotted, smaller/closer lines vs more widely ruled.... I have tiny handwriting, especially with my better, more fine tipped pens I prefer to journal with, so finding a closely ruled journal I like isn't always easy. The wrapping paper options were also lovely, and the selection of items around the shop for not only journaling and book themed things was great, unusual but often undervalued items. My friend finally found more reusable makeup rounds, complete with their own storage bag, after she's been looking for a few months to replace the ones she's had and used for years but are starting to show some definite wear. The cashier and person assisting with stocking were both friendly and helpful without being pushy/overly involved (ALWAYS appreciated as an introvert!). I found not only the perfect journal for my preferences but also picked up a small craft project and both were very fair in price.

Jess was great to work with and set me up with a gorgeous collage with 9 total pieces. Fast forward a few months, one of the couples in the photos break-up, my son and his long time girlfriend. So, I reached out to order a new pic in the collage. To my surprise Jess mentioned that they may be able to edit this person out of the photos. We opted to replace one of the shots with my son's Golden Retriever. The work that Jess and her team did was nothing short of a miracle! I had no idea that this was even possible. I re-ordered 4 more canvas photos and have a revised family collage! If they can do this, they can do ANYTHING! See pics below

The first impression was like it was a kind of land fill , but in fact there is a lot of furniture in a pretty good condition and some sets of china looking not too shabby. The place is hard to walk around because of the chaotically placed items. Pricing seems weird - a tray with floral magnets for $10 (!!!) a piece or $17 for 2. Didn't ask about prices for the furniture though. The ladies mentioned in previous reviews are not there and the store is definitely in decline and disarray.

Johnny has been our instructor on more than one occasion and he's always so thoughtful with his instructions and so patient with everyone, It's always easy to reserve a wheel via text or phone call, which is recommended on busy weekends and evenings, but you can also drop in. There are several wheels in the studio and tables for adding the finishing touches like handles or other accents. You'll photograph your piece to locate it after it's been fired then return about a month later to glaze your piece. Make sure to paint three layers or the color will be super faint. A month after that you'll return to pick up your masterpiece and become hooked like me.

He gave us great techniques and tricks on making what we wanted. The first session is for you to make your own vessel and the next session in 30 days will be painting. If you're not local you can paint some of the pre-made items. As being local is better for the pottery wheel because it takes time to dry. Pottery making is a skill and is so relaxing if you have patience and a vision.

I was impressed by how well-organized the market was. There were so many great vendors! Everyone wore face masks. There was hand sanitizer at the booths that I went to. There were vendors on the outside around the pool and bar area and also on the inside in one of the banquet rooms. What better way to shop then with beautiful views of the Hillsborough River and last night was the boat parade which was an added bonus! During this time, it's important now more than ever to support our local businesses who have struggled the most! So, let's get to my shopping! Angie's Fairy Cakes and Parties had some really good prices on bundt cake for $6, Triple Chocolate Chip for $5 and Hot Cocoa Bombs for $10. I sampled some items and everything was so delicious! I ended up buying the bundt cake mmmmm... :-) Chanel's Boutique had a lot of unique items. They had so many different kinds of masks and they were good quality, too! They even had vintage purses and a red 1950s suitcase for sale. There was a really cute 1920s Art Nouveau, leather purse that was going for $200. I looked it up on the internet and a similar one was $225 + shipping. Jennifer Ann's Boutique had a lot of fun holiday, crossbody bags, Christmas ornaments for $8, and face masks for$6. The display was really cute and the prices were not bad at all. I bought some fresh sea moss from BAXXABILLION. It was made that morning. An 8 oz jar is $10 and a 16oz Jar is $20. There were also BAXXABILLION sweatshirts that look pretty high quality. And the owner, Terrence Baxter, told his personal story on how sea moss and also other natural alternatives helped to heal him after he was shot while driving an UBER! He talked about how natural alternatives changed his life, his health, and the health of his family. He's very knowledgeable on natural products. I bought some wine from Brookstone Wine. The wines are locally crafted in Spring Hill, Fl. I got to taste all of them including their delicious Tropical Sunset, Green Apple Harvest, but it came down to the Cranberry Celebration and the Blackberry Blossom. I ended up getting the Cranberries Celebrations but it was a really tough call! They're $20 a bottle. A little pricey but got to support local. I also bought a couple of hand rolled cigars from Smokey's Lifestyle Cigars. The bourbon infused cigars smelled AMAZING. I bought a pack of the Rum infused ones. I think they were 5 for $20. Thr prices were pretty good. There were so many great vendors including Ilianna's Boutique with such great stuff for 20-somethings, Lavish Lab Cosmetics with the most luscious glosses, and on and on. I wanted to buy from all of them but I just didn't have enough money! I put some of their cards in my review if you wanted to check them out. Happy Holidays Yelp fam :-)

I explained that I had a certain frame in mind because I had bought 2 and loved how they looked, but had to return them because the foam boards the photos were on made it to thick for the frame back to fasten. They told me they might be able to help me with that. I repurchased the frames, brought them back to the shop, and they determined that it could be done. I was thrilled! This was not going to cost me even 25% of what a custom framing would cost, yet they were happy they could help me out with this. This business will get all of my framing from now on. These people are fantastic!
