I felt like I had to leave a review after seeing a couple of the recent 1-star comments because…read morethey don't really tell the full story. First off, this shop is amazing. It's a beautiful metaphysical store with such a welcoming and peaceful energy the moment you walk in. The space is thoughtfully put together and you can tell the owner truly cares about the experience people have when they come here. The quality of what's offered and the atmosphere are top notch. The owner also offers incredible one-on-one services, and she puts a lot of time, energy, and care into working with people personally. When you work with her, you can tell she genuinely cares about helping people and creating a meaningful experience. For anyone reading the reviews, it's important to understand that this is a small business run by the owner herself. She's also a full-time mom during the week, which means she balances running the shop with real life responsibilities and priorities. Because of that, there can occasionally be minor inconsistencies with shop hours, and sometimes the shop may be closed when she isn't there. That's actually very common with independently owned small businesses, especially when the owner is the one providing personal services and managing everything herself. Leaving a 1-star review just because someone stopped by on a day the shop happened to be closed really isn't a fair way to judge a business or the quality of the services offered here. When the shop is open, the experience is absolutely worth it. The energy is great, the shop is unique, and the owner clearly puts a lot of heart into what she does. If you're looking for a great metaphysical shop and someone who offers genuine, thoughtful one-on-one services, this is definitely the place to go. Don't let a couple of unfair reviews fool you. I'll absolutely be back.

I used to love this place under the previous ownership. It was one of our favorite stores to shop…read moreat after having lunch in Lincoln Center. I still keep in touch with a former employee. The only good thing about the new place is it is easier to move around. I'm not as worried about bumping into something that is breakable. And they have a bigger selection of the Rosy Rings candles. That said, they are not friendly like the previous owners were. The place is stark white and is more cold, than welcoming. There was an older lady at the front when I first walked in. At first, I thought she was another customer. Until I realized she was following us around the entire store as if we were criminals. Also, prices have gone up. $45 for a small stuffed animal (36% markup). $90 for a spoon rest (a 50% markup); I don't care if it is McKenzie Childs. But it was more about the way we were treated in the store. I used to buy from this store almost every time I went in. I don't think I'll be back. I'll take my hard earned money and spend it elsewhere. I've been treated better at high-end places in Carmel-by-the-Sea.

For such a cute, cozy space, it is full of adorable, covetable treasures. From macramé plant hangers, to incense, essential oils, pet toys, leashes and accessories, stickers for every interest, beautiful one-of-a-kind jewelry, and home decor, walking into this shop made me feel like a kid in a candy store. The collection of retro and new items is curated so that you'll love discovering new treasures every time you visit. How refreshing that downtown Lodi has such a unique new business in its wake! I will definitely be back - to find just the right gifts for loved ones, AND to pick up some goodies for myself ;)

(Maybe get your snacks and drinks BEFORE you get there??) I'm guessing that this is a hobby business for the owner. With such limited hours of operation one would tend to think you would want that door open, ready for people who want to spend money in your store. Awfully expensive overhead to not actually be open to make having a store profitable.

This place looks very tiny from the outside, but actually has a lot of stock. Don't be surprised if…read moreit always looks like a dud of a store judging by the cars in the parking lot; the "store hours" are pretty lame, even by Stockton standards. According to the Events Calendar, the store is CLOSED every weekday, except Friday, when it's open Noon-6pm. Oh, but not on Sept. 26, when it's CLOSED. Open Sat/Sun from 10:30am-5:00, but not on Sept 27-28, when it's CLOSED. Five classes are offered during this month, all of them on days the store is closed. So how is it that they're celebrating its 4-year anniversary? How much business is this store pulling in? By the way, did I mention they don't charge sales tax here? But to make up for it, the prices seem a little steep, even by scrapbooking standards. If you're looking for stickers, this place has lots of 'em. If you're looking for anything wedding-related, this place does not have 'em. At all. 12x12 paper is plentiful here, but a pain to look through, because they're displayed several layers deep per paper tray. Katie's provided tabs to separate the different patterns, and also has them separated by category (sports, beach, etc), but it's still very time consuming to look at all of it, especially if you're like me and don't go in with anything particular in mind. This is a great place for Disney stuff; LOTS of character stuff I hadn't seen before, and even Hannah Montana-type stuff. And don't forget to check out the side room for sale/clearance items. Overall, I'll definitely come here again, when I have more time and when the store is open. When those two criteria shall meet, who knows....

I really take exception to the review written by Patty W. !…read more I think she happened on the store, made her judgements by exterior appearances (which really aren't bad but aren't "BAY AREA"), and never talked to Katie once she entered the store. Had Patty done that and asked questions, she may have learned why the hours are set as they are (this is the owner's avocation not her vocation) , why classes are scheduled when the store is closed (most of her customers cannot do day classes...evenings are good for them). As to Patty's comments about pricing...I am astounded! I find the prices better, in most cases, than even the "big box" stores like Joann's or Michaels. And certainly better than any of the other "local" (Elk Grove/Sacramento) stores. Not sure where Patty shops for her supplies-only on sale at Joann's with their limited supply? Moving on to paper...Katie's World's selection and variety is beyond amazing! But the space IS finite and so the paper has to be stacked with tabs by category or the store would have to be HUGE! I have sent people there looking for scrap booking paper for skydiving that they couldn't find anyplace else. Katie's has a phenomenal selection of state/country paper and I have referred folk there just for that for their post-vacation scrapbooks . And wedding paper and embellishments? Well, once again, Patty didn't take the time to ask where or if. I travel a lot and have been to scrapbook stores from California to Massachusetts and in between. I have yet to be in a store that has the overall selection of paper, embellishments and tools that Katie's World has. I may have been in stores that seem a bit better organized until I start looking around and realize that I've somehow gone from pets to baby and tools and back and cannot find what I saw during my first pass through. And then I try to find someone to ask. Therein lies the key to visiting a new store...Ask! If you are a scrapbooker or a paper-holic like me and are in the area, I would recommend stopping. The hours may be a bit problematic but you can always call. Katie's World is a great store and well worth visiting!!
