Amazing store - great prices, friendly community feel, huge selection and varies often based on donations. You don't even need to have a plan, just walk in and you will be inspired! My sister and I are big into arts and crafts and always find more than we need here. Mankato needs more spaces like this!

I came with an unusual request for large sheets of paper. Happily they had some blank architectural sheets that were very large indeed. I made a donation for the paper and stayed in their workshop to begin construction of an ornate jellyfish origami model.
