Jennifer Ellison (5/5 stars, 11 months ago): This shop is upstairs in the garden center. Super fun place with used and donated art supplies. Fabric painting stamps embroidery paper and scrapbooking. I bought cute buttons and some cross stitch stuff.

Celia (3/5 stars, 4 months ago): This is a fun little store that I’ll likely continue shopping at but I’ve noticed a recurring issue. Every time I visit I walk in and get looked at but no one greets me. However when someone else enters they’re immediately welcomed with a friendly hello. This has happened on every visit. In fact I often end up having to greet the staff first. I’m not sure what the issue is but it comes across as unprofessional especially considering I donate regularly. While I understand the staff might be volunteers I believe all customers should be treated with the same kindness and respect. Unfortunately I don’t feel that way when I’m in the store especially when I need assistance.
