“Mike was so helpful and offered advice. Loved to find everything I needed in one place and he showed us some of the work he's done too! As newer potters it's wonderful not to feel dwarfed in a place or judged for asking new potter questions. Very welcoming space for all levels.”
“Though I haven't shopped at Upcycke yet, I have volunteered there a bit, and I love their system. The re-use mindset is huge, and I love helping them sort through donations! The wat they price things-at least from the last time I was there-where you pay through bags. Like, you purchase a certain size bag and whatever you fit in there is under that price. I'm definitely going there when I need materials for another project!”
“Lakeshore isn't just for kids. It's for all ages and abilities. I needed something to help my grandma with her writing. I got several items from here to see what worked for her. Larger pencils, grips, lined paper for practice, easy sharpener, and for funsies, scented gel pen (also had a larger grip).
I am so thankful to the staff member that helped me on April 11th around noon. (I'm horrible with names) But she had great suggestions and my grandma is now able to write her story for me so I don't forget her.”
“Grabbed some specialty wrapping paper to send some friends gifts from my trip to China. Wonderful selection, but you may need multiple sheets if your gift is larger than 12x12. In addition to wrapping paper items, they have stationary, greeting cards, and fun games and trinkets for gifts. The staff is nice. They will wrap gifts for you for an $8 charge but you will need to buy ALL of the pieces that you want the gift to be wrapped with.”
“Okay yarn selection. Decent Gungdam kit selection (according to one of my offspring). I often wonder what Jesus would think late stage capitalism and if He would approve of Hobby Lobby”
“Can't wait to come back! A hidden gem in the community. Weekly craftalongs! Can't wait to mingle with other creatives. Lots of beautiful fabric and other crafts to explore.”
