The Pinecroft Gallery and Gift Shop and Green Frog Tearoom occupy an original log cabin built in 1934 and overlook an expansive pond which attracts a great variety of wildlife from the Blue Heron to Canadian Geese. The 54 acre pine forest setting is reminiscent of Northern Muskoka, an ideal setting for creative artists. Arthur Caverly had the vision in the 19202s to plant 85,000 pine seedlings and dredge a 2 1/2 acre lake with a team of horses. This early conservation has given us today, the beautiful tranquility of Pinecroft.

As someone who has painted ceramics for over 15 years, it has become increasingly difficult to find something other than a Christmas ornament or small childrens sets. However, although All Fired Up is a great place for girls night out, a tweens birthday party or the local crafter- you can find actual bisque ceramics that you honestly can't purchase at local craft shops. This shop is small & the on hand selection is limited but you can go through their large binder & order anything you want. All the molds are kept downstairs so your item is made in shop. I'm horrible with names ( I want to say Mina??? she owns an older poodle named Frenchie) was more than accommodating & really listened to what I was looking for. I special ordered 5 buildings that are part of a village, for just a few bucks extra, she carved out all the windows & chimneys for me so that I could put a light under them. The attention to details & craftsmanship is admirable & the prices of each piece is very reasonable! My 1/2 village was ready for pick up in less than 2 months. Mina had wrapped each piece carefully so that they wouldn't break on my long drive home. She also took each of them out to make sure I was okay with the quality of her work. Since I did not paint my ceramics in the shop, I am not sure what the cost of doing so is. But if you're looking for something different & affordable, this is a great alternative.

In just a few hours, I was able to paint a piece and have it completed with an instructor at my side to guide me. I was proud of the piece I had painted and look forward to painting my next piece. The piece they painted for me to give as a gift was perfect. The prices are reasonable and the people are fun to work with. It is a pleasure doing business with this group.

After she set the bag on the counter, I realized I had not witnessed her actions. So, I asked her if she had worn gloves to measure out my treat. She "barks" at me, "I don't need to. They're in a thing. I didn't touch nothing." (Sounds like magic, eh?) It was only partly about what she said; it was more about the way she said it. I really like this little store. I won't be going back if this same woman is at the register or if the clerks are unmasked. AZ, CA, FL, TX all learned the hard way. Pls speak to your staff about politeness. Whatever happened to, "the customer is always right."?

One of the major fabric shops wants substantially more (even at their 50% off sale.) Even if I buy 2-3 yards of fabric at full price ($11.99 a yard) at Hobby Lobby, it greatly surpasses the major fabric shop at $15-$25 a yard on sale! Love this store for all crafting projects.
