I found Cats Eye Craft Thrift through a quick Google search and was excited to make the 30+ minute…read moredrive to support a small, local business. I especially had high hopes for their junk journaling and sticker sections. Unfortunately, I left a bit disappointed. The selection was pretty limited on everything but especially the stickers / planning/ stencil area , and the pricing felt more in line with boutique resale than a thrift shop. For example, a small Happy Planner sticker book was priced at $7.99 something I've gotten at Savers for $5 or less and we all know how astronomical savers pricing is lol . The other sticker and journaling items were $5-$12, which felt a bit steep for secondhand supplies. I totally understand small businesses need to cover costs and make a profit, and I really respect that but I was hoping for more variety and more "thrift-style" pricing. I'd still love to come back and check out other sections of the store, and hopefully they'll consider revisiting some of the pricing in the future to make it a more budget-friendly stop for crafters like me.

I only heard of Cats Eye within the last two or three days. I thought my friends were hiding this gem from me. Nope. The brick & mortar store is THAT new! (I won't hide this gem from them.) I saw so many crafty goodies: ink pads, rubber stamps, markers, pencils, paints, brushes, yarn, hooks, patterns, raw wool, stickers, cardstock, storage, beads, wire, buttons, jewelry findings, and even office supplies. I arrived after 5pm, and I asked Shay to please kick me out at when she closes 6pm, so I don't keep her here that late. (I think I was a little late anyway.) I'll have to go back ASAP to finish up my 1st round of shopping. The other thing I noticed was that there's a classroom at the back of the space. I bet there will be some really fun opportunities to learn techniques and new crafts. There is a cool scheduling tool on their website for when you want to donate some of your unused artistic or crafty supplies. Items inside are inexpensive and in great condition. I'm excited to play with my new goodies tomorrow and share this review with my friends.

If you're the sort of person who fancies putting pen to paper, this is your spot. Most recently, I wandered into Paperie and Pen during the holidays in search of Christmas cards from a local letter press. They had a beautiful supply of individual and boxed holiday card sets from a variety of small letterpresses. After some searching, I found some lovely options from local letterpress, Ladybug Press. With my boxes in hand, I began to venture toward the cash register. But, wait! Are those local tees from Banana Ink? Yes. Yes, they are. They have a nice selection of locally printed tees. Banana Ink works with local artists and designers to create a line of Idaho inspired tees, hoodies, hats, and other wearables. And, while, you could make the trip to downtown Boise to their shop to pick something up--it's nice to know that their stuff can be found in Meridian as well! I was able to find an awesome tee for a Christmas gift. I also noticed that they carry a range of beard products from local barber shop, The Beardsmith. A little unlikely, perhaps, but pretty awesome to see this local business so supportive of other local businesses (really amazing ones to boot!). They also do a variety of fun and crafty workshops on occasion (ie: In February, they're offering a Modern Calligraphy workshop). Such a gem of a stationary shop! I look forward to wandering in each and every time I find myself making the trip from Boise to The Village. Get to it!
