The owner said she'd been here since December, and hopefully she'll do well. Santa Paula needs this! It's a cute, little, shop similar to a Hallmark.

We looked around at Paint and Sip options and only Smytha advertised as being able to come to you. With less than 4 days notice, she mobilized and not only provided us a great class at a price less than the others, she helped us create a customized art piece that the group could collaborate on and the bride could take home. I would definately reccomend Smytha and reincARTnated!

Downtown Ventura has so many gems, but one that you need to know about is the Seniors Craft Shoppe!…read moreThis has been a special place that my daughter and I go to when she wants to pick out an extra special gift. All of the items in the shop are handmade by local seniors! I just feel that it can't get any more special than that. The shop is also a non-profit, so all of the seniors that sell their items there also volunteer their time to run the store. They are the sweetest, kindest, and most grateful people you will ever meet. I have always been greeted with the warmest smiles, and I leave with so much joy in my heart with the interactions and the opportunity to give back to the community. In an age where so many things are mass produced, this shop is keeping the magic alive by hand crafting lovely items. You can find a gift for any occasion. During the holidays, they also have seasonal items that can add to your home decor. The quality is so beautiful, and one of a kind! Truly such an amazing way to show your loved ones your love by giving them a beautiful, handmade gift. We have found some really special items here for my daughter that we just adore. There are items for every price point, and each piece is so beautiful. You can feel the love and care that the seniors have for their crafts!!! Remember them next time you are looking for a gift! And if you are holiday shopping this season, give them a visit!!!

I stopped in here looking for archival paper tape. I didn't quite find what I needed, but found…read moretape that was acid free and used that for my project. The main difference being I think this tape is stickier and could cause slight damage to my antique papers. But I couldn't find anything better locally so at least it's acid free... Ojai Creates is a small shop with an average or light selection of art supplies. That said, they do carry things other people don't, and that's what I came here for. The woman behind the counter was polite and friendly and helped me find their options for tape. Parking on site and the shop was clean and well lit. I'd stop in here again if I need nice art supplies.

The business owner Jill is so incredibly sweet and helpful! The shop had everything I was looking…read morefor. I just visited the new location (114 N Padre Juan Ave Ojai, CA 93023. About a 10 minute drive from the original location) and I was absolutely stunned. When I found out earlier this year that the original location was closing due to the new building owners I was so bummed, and so were many others in the Ojai community. But after visiting the new location, I'm so happy it happened because it is beautiful and so much more spacious! Thank you Jill for keeping Ojai Creates alive and for keeping an art store in Ojai Valley, because there are many of us who want to shop locally!!

Such a kind and knowledgeable man. He sat with us and listented to our idea. John was able to help. He took down our name and number and said he would call us the next day. That one of the people that works there can give us all the information we need. John called us the next day! We went back and spoke to Jewelyn. Jewelyn was amazing!!! She was so kind and knew exactly what we were talking about. We are all set up. On top of all the help Jewelyn said if we needed her help in the future, she would be there for us. The great thing about Calico Cat Glass is they have a work shop. The owner John will let us use his kiln. Whatever we need fired is $18 per use. They also carry any supplies you need. If they don't have it. They order for you. If stain glass is your thing or you want to get into stain glass. Calico Cat Glass is your one stop shop!!!

There really isn't even a lot of vintage here. It's mostly newer items and Brighton jewelry. Was disappointed in the clothing quality and the fact that the owner held us captive talking about her personal politics regarding vaccines for a very long time. So unprofessional. I wouldn't assume that all of your customers have the same beliefs as you. It's very uncomfortable and, for that reason, I won't be back.
