We were recommended to Shenanigans from a local mom group. It's a huge local toy store with tons of…read moregreat and unique options: Crazy Aaron's Putty, TY, Mary Meyer, a baby sections, craft and activity books and more. The front of the toy shop has a pottery painting area with tons of options to choose from. Mugs, ceramic figures, piggy banks and so much more! Aprons are included and they have paint stations so kids can paint a product of their choice then have the item fired (I think- we haven't done this yet!). The best part is the play area in the back of the store which sells giant outdoor play systems. It's all padded and there's something for all ages. It's $5 a kid to get in-BUT if you spend $10 in the store two kids get in free! It's a no brainer. We go there frequently now and buy a $10-15 item and both kids get in free. There are several large play sets and one huge trampoline. There are no shoes/socks requirements except for the trampoline-no shoes are to be worn on there. The front of the play area has smaller toys and kitchen sets for toddlers and my 1.5 year old has fun just exploring and swinging on the swings too while my 6 year old runs wild. I'd definitely recommend this place. We love shopping small and it's just a huge added bonus that there's a play area. TIP: call ahead to make sure the play area is open as it closes frequently for parties. Also you can bring food and drink but it must be consumed in the partially enclosed party area of tables and chairs located within the play zone.

I love this place! I'm back again and I was so happy with the selection of Moda fabric!read more

I purchased off of Groupon, but we where not treated any different from someone who purchased on site. The prices look to have ranged from 25.00-75.00 all based off the size canva you pick. They supply the poncho and shoe covers, so no worries about your gear. The paint that's used does wash off the skin, with soap and water pretty easy. There are different sized paint brushes, water guns, squirt pumps, and plenty of color choices. It's so cool to see what your design creation changes to once you put it on the spin wheel. You will be sharing the room with others, no private rooms. There is one restroom. This is a cool date idea, family fun day, or a me day.

The entrance is the last door before subway (to the right) it sits back a little so you may miss it if you glance too quickly but it's definitely there! Their prices range from $20-$45 and you can book online or walk in until 7pm. The owner Jerrell is an artist himself and will be opening another location in Stone Crest Mall in Feb/March so definitely be on the look out for that. This event is great for solo outing/date, date night, friend groups, corporate events, birthdays, etc. it's a very intimate setting but you'll definitely have a great time!

Candles, oils and scents; it smells so good at the Fayette Candle Factory. Fragrant candles that…read morelight up the store include Harbor Mist, Irish Mint, French Vanilla, Newborn, Rain, Strawberry, Sunflower, White Sands, Cranberry and Baked Apple. This is the first candle store I've been to that provides a listing of burn times based on the candle size. Some candles last 20 to 25 hours whereas some last 155 to 175 hours. That's helpful information for avid candle burners. Beyond just regular candles, they have candles with layers and chunks. Customers can also bring back candle jars purchased at Fayette Candle Factory to get refills for a lower price. That's great incentive considering the regular prices are very inexpensive. This place is awesome and they even play host to Candle parties in the metro area. For scents, candles and directions go to www.fayettecandlefactory.com.

With the fundamentals she taught me, I began to progress to more advanced projects before returning for another class. She's funny, and has a real down to earth approach that puts you at ease. Highly recommended for anyone interested in jewelry making or metal smithing.

I took the bezel setting class, and I appreciated her commitment to the class learning how to execute bezel setting techniques safely and well. Unlike many artists, she did not skimp on sharing her knowledge in a gatekeeping fashion - she openly shared everything she thought might be useful to us! I really appreciated that and I look forward to going back to her studio and working on a design that's close to my heart! I highly recommend exploring jewelry making with Christy :)

I basically found everything that is needed for my class. The store has lesson plan and record books, class room decorations, in all subjects and themes.

Each child was given a plate and a pack of skittles to make their own design. The woman running the experiment was clearly an experienced educator who is excellent with children. She talked to them about the reaction they would observe while walking them through the process. The plates were just small enough that each child left with an extra handful of skittles to eat. At the end, we were given an instruction sheet to use to recreate the process at home and understand the science behind it. The entire experiment probably took about 15 minutes to complete. While we waited for the set up, the children were able to play with items that the store has out to entertain children while parents shop. There's a train table and a table/chair set with activities on the table (coloring paper and crayons, and a toddler puzzle). My 3yo was almost too excited for the train table to pull away for the experiment and my 1yo was happy to take a seat and play while the older children did the experiment. About the store: I didn't get to fully explore but I saw several educational and learning games and tools that I want to go back to check out.

Make the pilgrimage, this place rocks!!
