My go to place for cross stitching supplies. They have all the DMC thread colors, multiple counts and color of Aida cloth, needles, and embroidery hoops. The owner is so sweet and friendly too!

FANTASTIC selection of new and vintage ribbon, trim, embroidery, needle felting, and sewing supplies and kits that you will not find online or at a big box store. If you are a serious sewist or crafter, DO NOT MISS this place!

Traveled from Salem to seek a good selection of ribbon and buttons. Great selection of both and added bonus of high quality lovely clothing. Disappointing that despite our friendly hello to the shop keeper and expression of what our interest was... she never left her computer to offer assistance of any kind.

Super cute shop, has every DMC thread color you could possibly need, and the cutest craft accessories ever (I am absolutley obsessed with some tiny thread scissors I got there). Shop is run by the most lovely woman who free-hand paints absolutley beautiful cross stitch patterns. Totally a hidden gem worth seeking out!

I tried to exchange an outfit I puchased as a gift for another more expensive outfit but the young employee was not will to accommodate because it was 6 days past the return policy. I will not be shopping here again

Nice shop. I brought my project there to decide on thread and colors for part of my design and it was difficult because there was no space to lay out my work. Very nice selection of thread but I felt this was more of a clothing than embroidery shop. The woman working the desk was very nice but had no knowledge of needlework. All in all I would go back to purchase thread but as a crafter I am used to knitting shops where there is always someone there to help you and puzzle out projects with, and sadly I just didn't feel that kind of support at Mindy's. So if you are looking for a nice selection of threads and don't need a lot of guidance this is a great choice of store.

Whenever I come into town to visit my daughter I swing into Mindy's to look at the scarves. They are beautiful scarves and a large variety of fun socks. My last experience was terrible. I'm not sure who the woman was working there but she was very rude. I accidentally knocked something off of the wall and a few spindles of lace fell to the floor. I apologized and said I was sorry a couple of times. She said to me"If you say sorry one more time I'm going to slap your face."So I'm a little confused about previous comments about kindness and helpfulness. I will never visit the shop again. if you're going to shop in this store, forget about saying sorry. Unless you want to get the same treatment I got. This world has enough ugly people in it. I'm certainly not going to spend my money here again. I hope others will follow my lead and never shop there. She's probably done this to a lot of other customers. At first I was shocked and embarrassed. Now I'm just angry. What an ugly woman she is.

I am easily distracted by bright and shiny things, so naturally this place caught my attention and I stopped in with my husband. We were greeted by another customer originally. I found this odd, given she was just sort of standing there with a bag and her purse, yet asking if we were looking for anything specific. Sooner or later a real employee came in. I'm presuming she stepped out to use the little girl's room or something. This store is packed full, and I mean full of stuff. There's some clothing, scarves, and leggings. There's every possible button you could ever want in your lifetime in here. Same goes with thread and ribbon. If you can't find what you're looking for in here, I highly doubt it exists. The store is easily filled with just 5 or 6 people because there is so much product crammed in here. The funny thing is even with so much product in such a tiny space, it is incredibly well organized. This is one of those places where if you're carrying a decent sized purse, turn around too fast, or are just a bit clumsy, it's pretty much guaranteed that you're going to crash into something. I found a hilarious pair of socks in here for my father in-law yesterday and went to buy them. As we're chatting with the employee, I grab ahold of my husband because he's about to run into a shelf. I can just see things spilling everywhere in my head and the mess he's going to create. As I'm trying to prevent what I think is less than a second away from becoming utter chaos, the employee reassured us that even working in the store and knowing where everything is, she still bumps shelves or runs into things almost daily. This simple warm reassurance relaxed me because I was nervous about being in such a small place and accidentally creating a huge mess for someone else to clean up. It's like going to someone's house and you're afraid to sit on any of the furniture kind of feeling. Not here. It's the relaxed, it happens kind of approach. Which is really what made it memorable to me. I heard another customer ask for a specific employee who had just left shortly before that. The customer wanted this employee because she could always find the customer the perfect buttons. If you ever find someone who has a knack for finding you exactly what you want when you're not even sure what that is, stalk them! Lol. That is a whole other level of customer service. But that also told me what kind of store this is, and that attention to details is a big deal to them. Would I return? Absolutely. It's a great store with a ton of products and incredible selection. The customer service is wonderful, warm, and welcoming. I certainly don't look like the kind of person who has crafting hobbies, and I only bought socks during my initial visit. Yet I was treated like I'd been in a thousand times and they knew me. I like that, and it is exactly why I will return when it's time to start a new craft project.

This place! It's MAGICAL! It's got an amazing selection of supplies and patterns and such. The historic furniture they are on are beautiful. There are just layers and layers of needlepoint and cross stitch... things... everywhere and you can spend an entire afternoon in the shop looking through everything. Mindy is super nice and helpful, and her shop has a very good stock of Mill Hill products if you like the beaded cross stitch stuff. It's pretty much my one of my two favorite cross stitch / needlework shop in the Northwest at this point.

Mindy's is more fun than a box of chocolates and so much better for one's health. If you are mad about creative stitchery, you'll find everything you need and a whole lot more you never knew you wanted. I stop in just for the joy of it all on days i can't convince myself that I "need" something.
