Soooooo much stuff. Anything and everything you would possibly need for any type of arts and craft. The staff was so very friendly, they helped us find and exact match to the color pencil we were looking for. Went upstairs to do it as the person I was with could not use the stairs. All around a really nice experience.

Not super accessible, and the balcony is a bit nerve wracking, but great selection and staff!
