A farmer's market in the winter? How awesome!…read more My sister and I walked around and explored the booths in the market. She purchased a peanut butter flavor dog treat for my dog and he loved it. We sampled a few food items like pistachio flavored peanut butter and pumpkin flavored granola. All the samples were yummy and I wish I had money to buy more. Although I love farmer's markets and supporting local businesses, the premiums are high and can bust your bank account if you're not careful lol. However the fresh greens have reasonable prices and I recommend loading up on those.

Having a winter farmer's market can be very refreshing when you are trying to endure the middle of…read morethe cold season. This little Winter Market fits the bill nicely. The crafts and displays are informative and fascinating. There was a vendor selling all kinds of mushrooms that I never heard of before which seemed interesting and were most tasty when done up in a dish. So in that regard, the vendors itself gets four or five stars. The problem when I went here was that it was very busy and there were about thirty people all trying to look at the same thing at the same time. Lots of people walking back and forth in a tight huddle and little to no elbow room. There is lots of talking obviously which makes the place very loud and hard to hear anything with what people are saying. The Opera Galleria is a mini mall if you will that really doesn't house much for permanent shops. If there were not such a crowd it would be very enjoyable. Now I am not one who is prone to claustrophobia but I had enough of people being loud, stopping to look at something right where I was walking and generally being a nuisance so I did not stay very long and just waited by the entrance for the person I was with to complete his purchase. This Opera Galleria may sound like a good place to hold an opera but the acoustics really blow, it was not meant for something like this to be held here. I am sure there are better venues to hold the Winter Market in town, even though none come immediately to mind, and in turn hopefully the crowd could be more palatable with more space and breathing room.

The store itself is rather small and is laid out more for cropping sessions than filled up to purchase stuff. There is a small selection of paper, pre-made layouts, and other stuff you can use on your layouts (paints, for example). I spoke to Kim and she was very nice and helpful. It sounds like they have regular cropping sessions and classes available every month. It's nice to be able to learn different techniques from different instructors. If I lived up here, I'd be interested in going to one of their cropping sessions or classes.

I stopped here on my way home last week. The store is laid out long-wise, with the work area toward…read morethe back. There were a few ladies there, and I think two were employees. They had music on a radio in the front and they were talking about their projects in the back, so they didn't hear me come in. I was to the middle of the store before they noticed me, and even after that it took a while to be greeted. I was just browsing, so I didn't mind too much. After I picked out a few papers, I went to the front to pay. I had approximately $15 worth of stuff, and was told that if I wanted to use a credit card, I'd have to pay a $2 fee. That is not only outrageous, I'm pretty sure it's not allow by Colorado law. I happened to have cash, so I used that instead. I doubt I'll be back for a return visit.

I have visited Artsy several times over the last year. Each time, I bought approximately $50 worth…read moreof art supplies. At each visit, I experienced the staff as rude and cliquish. My last visit, approximately 3 months ago, was especially bad. When I entered the store, I was one of two customers. The owner (Patsy?) was busy with the other customer, so I looked around. To her credit, she did ask how I was doing, but mainly spent her time talking to the other customer, who apparently had taken or was taking a class there. I have no problem with that - the other customer clearly knew her and had been there for a while. However, when I went to check out, things went off the rails. Artsy says that they accept credit cards, but when I went to pay using my card, I was asked point-blank if I could use another method, because they didn't like to accept cards. Ok, I could (and did). The owner went on to tersely explain that every time someone used their card, it cost them money. Here's where I have the problem - if you're going to accept cards, accept them. Don't browbeat your customers and bully them into using another method. Or, simply don't accept cards. The next problem occurred when I was attempting to buy several pieces of ephemera. The owner rudely told me I had "done it wrong" and that I should have filled out a form with the product number on it, so that she wouldn't have to look it up. Huh?? Ok - again, I'm willing to help out, but really - it's too much work to run your business? She did look up the numbers, and I checked out. On my way out, I went to the table where the ephemera were, and tried to find the form she mentioned. I finally did find it - underneath a basket and completely out of sight. Additionally, there was NO indication that this form should be used - the only way anyone would know is if they looked under the baskets or knew ahead of time. My older son came in while I was checking out. His first comment to me after we walked out the door was how rude the owner was, and that he was surprised she was able to stay in business. Hint? Don't bully your customers, be clear about your policies, and provide good customer service! I've given this store many chances, and each experience has been progressively worse. I will not return, and I would not recommend this store to anyone. Even the big box stores are better!
