Being from San Diego, we definitely DO NOT have a stationery store like this. I walked all around to make sure I saw everything before I started to decide what to get. Cards, art supplies, water colors, pens, midori, black wing, etc! I wanted it all. But at the end, decision paralysis set in and I only got a few things that I've never seen before...pink lead! Yes, that's right!! PINK LEAD. Also got some lavender and red leads. Of course I got the mechanical pencil and eraser as well. This is a must! Turlock was about 25 minutes drive from where I was staying. Will absolutely come back when I'm close.

Definitely happy to pass by for the workshops that happen & the trinkets that are on the main section of the store. Also, the Gallery is my favorite part! There is a great variety of many local / locally regional artist that have their work hung up. It's inspiring especially through art blocks. Plus the owner is amazing! Super sweet.

This is such an incredible store. I learned from the general manager today that it's the last…read moreprofessional art supply store in the Central Valley. They have a wonderful selection--everything from canvases to clay supplies and of course painting supplies. Today we picked up new oil pastels on a great deal of $2.49 each if you buy 6 or more. We also selected some of their value packs of canvases (although they also sell individual canvases) and a wide variety of paints. Something I love about this store is that several times a year, they select a nonprofit to run a donation drive for. You can buy items they put on a shelf for the nonprofit and the items go directly to that agency. It is so nice to see stores organizing for the community!

Blick is perfect for all your artsy fartsy needs from students to an at home project. The staff are always friendly and knowledgeable. They do an excellent job of checking in to see if you need guidance or have questions. Which helps my social anxiety tbh. I'm in my 30s and I still get shy to ask for help and just kinda freeze and hope I can google my question ‍ For my a watercolor class I needed various brushes and I love the bulk discount they offer, so that helps with budgeting. Things are pricey depending what you're looking for, but the quality is worth it. I've been here several times since my first visit and it's absolutely worth the drive everytime.

Recently we put together a custom, museum quality, triple matted and frame for a hand sketch of my beautiful Bella. I was thrilled beyond belief how it turned out. I proudly display it in my office.

I can't express enough what a fine job you did with my framing needs. Well done! I don't go anywhere else!

Feels Like Home in Historic Mariposa!…read more Wow! Walking into Mariposa Marketplace right now, I'm instantly wrapped in that cozy Gold Rush charm--the historic John Trabucco building from the late 1800s greets me with its high ceilings, warm wooden floors, and sunlight streaming through the windows. The atmosphere is so welcoming and relaxed, like stepping into a time capsule where I can just slow down, breathe in the old-town air, and browse without a care. The antiques here are pure magic: everywhere I look, there are beautifully displayed vintage glassware, ornate furniture pieces, quirky collectibles, and one-of-a-kind treasures that feel full of stories. Everything's well-kept, thoughtfully arranged, and priced so reasonably--I could spend all afternoon hunting for that perfect find. This spot captures exactly what I love about small-town California: genuine character, friendly vibes, and antiques that make me smile. If you're anywhere near Mariposa or Yosemite, come experience it yourself--you'll feel right at home too!

I have been putting off writing this review for some time... trying to give this business a second,…read morethird, and even fourth chance. Unfortunately, all these chances aren't making any difference. I honestly try to put myself in others' shoes and am often described as being very empathetic. Also, I generally try to support our small community here in Sonora by shopping locally and getting to know the small business owners. Most of them are very nice people and I love to frequent their shops because of it. The first owner, Gina, was quite pleasant, very welcoming, and tried to be helpful where she was knowledgeable. She recently sold the business to Beth Smith and I have had nothing but bad experiences with her. She is not helpful and not very welcoming. She is also incredibly unprofessional -- talking bad about other local businesses and not returning telephone calls. I am an avid crafter and will often spend a lot of money on my crafting supplies. However, I will not be giving Beth anymore of my money.
