I told her I would be FaceTiming my friend as I shopped and she didn't mind at all.

My favorite remains "Tradition" but I ventured out with my wax melts. The pricing is super competitive with my usual vendors and I'm so glad this place is here (and remains here)!

My husband and I teamed up for a 5ft single board sign. It turned out so awesome!! The instructor guided us, helped us, and was there for suggestions as we went. We will for sure be doing this again. So many neat possibilities, and I learned so much too! My favorite part was how one piece could be a team effort between my husband and I. It's nice not having to pay per person as with other painting places. Highly suggest this place, and don't forget to BYOB!!! Makes it that much more fun!

They also sell and service a variety of machines and the staff was very knowledgeable and pleasant. The store is quite large and felt like there was more to see around every corner. Their size is good since they recently purchased another local shop and will need the space for everything that came with it. All in all, decent prices and good selection of high quality fabrics, machines and notions.

My partner and I came here to paint pottery for eachother as mementos and for a nice memory…read more The staff was very welcoming and helpful to beginners and answered all the niche questions I had about glazes and what I should or shouldn't do (I'm an over thinker so I had a lot of questions). They were very patient and explained everything I was curious about in depth. They didn't make me feel like any of my questions were dumb or unnecessary. The staff also regularly checked up on us. I also liked that they gave off a calm vibe. I'd say that the staff was one of the best parts about this place. My piece was the mug. I am an artist in multiple medias but this was pretty new to me and I had fun with working with glaze. Although my piece didn't come out as well as I had hoped, I still love it and appreciate things made by hands with care and effort. I also learned a lot for the next time I come around. I hope to try the to-go kit. My partner doesn't have art experience but he still found it easy to work with the glazes and he had a good time. I ended up painting my mug until closing, but they did allow me to take my piece home and come back the next day to finish, which I appreciated. I did like the selection of all the different mugs and plates and everything, and I would say it's pretty decently sized, but during my visit I also did wish a little bit they had just a little more in terms of kitchen stuff. Though I understand something like that might be hard to achieve space-wise and cost-wise. I'd say the selection is good overall. During the making of my mug, I did like that they supplied markers (the marker ink disappears during firing!) as well as a paper for me to draft my design and lay it out on the mug. As an artist, the first sketch is very important to me. I also liked the brush selection. I did find brushes that suited my needs, but I also feel like a lot of the bigger brushes need to be replaced with new ones, as they felt frayed and hard to control. They had a big selection of other tools such as stencils, stamps, and these little bottles with needle droppers for fine detailing. The glazes were easy to locate and there was enough bottles for everybody. I liked that it specified they are lead-free and food safe as that is something I was concerned about. I also liked the little magnetic tiles on display to preview finished glaze colors and layers. The magnets made it easy compare how certain colors looked alongside another and imagine how your fired product would look. They also provide special pencils to leave a special message or your name on the piece with. Both days I brought a drink and a snack, which was a really nice experience. I liked that we could bring food and drink in, it made it a lot more fun and enjoyable. I also liked that the environment wasn't too loud with chatter or annoying music, allowing me to relax while I painted (especially as somebody with sensory issues). There were people talking at other tables but it isn't bothering. The cost isn't annoying, I'd say it's satisfactory and simple; just whatever you painted + studio/processing fee. I think for what I and my partner painted, the prices for the pottery itself were reasonable, as well as the studio fee. As for the finishing time, they got it out sooner than expected (a few days after submitted) which was satisfactory. Pickup was pretty quick and simple. The mug I made has found its home as my partner's coffee mug and my partner's lemon catch-all has found a home as a lovely scent wax bowl for our new candle warmer. Overall I'm pretty satisfied and I see myself coming again to paint gifts for my parents. Attatched are process photos, as well as a finished product photo and a few photos of the location.

I'm a lover of the Michaels chain and have been a long time customer. Unfortunately it appears they…read moreare not keeping up with their standards. This particular Michaels was in disarray with carts full of product sitting in multiple aisles. I only saw one employee. Usually there are more and are available if you need assistance. The saddest part for me personally was the only available checkouts were self checkouts. Of course mine was the one that didn't work and No one was there to assist. This is unacceptable. This is not a reflection on all Michael's locations, for me it only applies to this one. They can do better especially in a busy college town.

Imagine similar vendors from First Friday events, Farmers Market, and/or a Swap Meet, but within a store and opened 7 days a week. There are a variety of different items sold here such as paintings, clothing, kettle popcorn, jewelry, and many more. Every item you purchase here, supports these small local businesses. We bought a few things including some Churro flavored kettle popcorn which were delicious and reasonably priced. You can easily miss this store because it's a bit hard to see if you're driving by because of the trees blocking the store sign which is "Love Local." It's NOT located within the main building entrance on 28th Street, but off to the side closer to 29th Street. The front door is on Main Street. Staff member, Belinda is super friendly and helpful. She had a lot of knowledge about the other vendors and their merchandise. The flavored kettle popcorn is her business. The parking lot are small and there are 2 different ones on each side of the building. I don't recall seeing a restroom nearby, perhaps within other parts of the building.

I was immediately greeted by a lovely woman who was super eager to help (despite the fact she was restocking a ton of inventory). She showed me some hidden gems including blank stationary as well as physical cards aside from the "Thank You" note section. When I say she helped me, she was insanely thorough. I expected to walk in and out but I discovered some gold with a 15 minute stay. Also, I had previously complained about an employee at this store and the corporate owner reached out to me via email and we had a great back and forth. I suggested she add certain thank you notes that are embossed and available on the website -- she agreed. Finally, I can't recommend becoming a rewards member ON THE WEBSITE. When I gave the cashier my number, she only had a $2 off. On my phone I showed her that I actually had 3 coupons ($4 x 2 and $2 off). I walked out with a nice card for my boss and a pack of thank you cards for under $5! Don't think this store is impossible despite the ridiculous market pricing. Give them a shot! I hope this store never goes away even after being acquired by Giftive, LLC.
