this place has everything you can think of ! they do have two cats just an fyi if you’re allergic or not a cat person. you could spend hours just looking through everything and try a new craft everytime you visit.

It’s an interesting place, lots of secondhand supplies and broken/recycled decor that could be used in a crafty way. The place is pretty organized and it’s fun to look through everything. I didn’t find anything I wanted but I had a good time. Update: I went back and there are people that work there, you just have to ring the bell, and they are helpful and nice. The pricing here is fair.

My first time here, and I HAVE to return. They have every kind of craft supply you can think of here- from stamps to beads to staples. I found so many beads for my jewelry making hobby! They also had this amazing sun I really wish I bought!

Great place, with quirky and creative vibes, also extremely affordable with everything being sold by the pound, so more lightweight materials like journaling supplies are really cheap. I will definitely be coming back at some point!
