Fantastic to come for small gifts you may need for someone. Everything from earrings to bags to decorated sweatshirtsto pieces of cloth to make your own thing to lessons and working together to make something yourself. Tons of pleasant, easy parking as well.

If you're creative, this is a place you will want to visit. Excellent spot to find gifts for creative people of all ages! Bonus: the staff are all friendly, welcoming, and helpful. I was having trouble finding something and the staff member walked me right to the spot and made sure I found what I needed. The parking lot is large and easy, and the front entrance is accessible with no stairs. Restrooms are gender-neutral. The building itself is set away from the main street and hard to see if you don't know it's there. There is a tiny "Hyatt" sign at the driveway, which is shared with the oil change place. Go past the oil change place and you'll see the large blue building. This store is well worth seeking out.

AND they have DIY classes for a small fee. The owner is so accommodating and knowledgeable.

I wanted to give the owner the benefit of the doubt, but these reviews confirmed our experience…read morewasn't a fluke. This store has wonderful art treasures and I love stores that support local artists. Unfortunately the store owner is insolent. I work in a customer facing role and I would never treat my customers the way she did. The owner obviously only cares about making money and not representing local artists because there's been reviews to give the owner an opportunity of growth, but clearly no growth was had. I feel bad for the artists that lost sales because of her. I would not recommend this store from a customer experience OR an artist looking to collaborate. 5/5 stars for the Dina (the cat) though!

This is my fave stall in the non-food section of the West Side Bazaar. The clothes are so pretty! This is also the one I spent the most money at for my mother when she was here. I have no idea if she actually wears any of the stuff we bought here (which must have been every colour of the rainbow and more), but knowing her, she probably puts them on for work and for watching TV and "brewing up" (making a cuppa) alike. My favourite thing is that they sell those adorable little nodding cat-heads that all of the Asian places in the world seem to sell. So there is one familiar item (or set of items) among all of the colourful, exotic Burmese awesomeness. This stall seems to do slightly better than the others, but still, with the prices (which are lower than I expected) and the relative lack of business, I worry for all of these stalls. Please come in and check them all out and see what you think. If I were a hippie drunk girl from Manchester, I'd much rather shop here than at any well-known clothing store, even the local ones. That was a comment on my mother, by the way, not you. Hic.
